Humour or not?

That's the kind of questions we have in mind when we follow the American way of life from a French point of view.

Guns don´t kill people, fat cheese does

[daniel clark]

sometimes the funniest joke is nothing but the truth,,sad to say this is a good perspective,,not shure of the reasoning for having freanch cheese as illilegal ,, but know why the guns are leagel ,, still doesnt make it right ,to accept what is sensiblly wrong as right be cause the authoritys have deemed it so,,rather enjoy the cheese than bite a bullet

I certainly AM a big fan of cheese, but I HATE guns!

I'm not one of those small minded people, however, who think that ALL guns should be destroyed. Of course the police, the military, security forces all need guns, but should the public be allowed to build huge collections of deadly weapons? I think not.

Why on earth would an ordinary person need an automatic, or semi-automatic weapon that can fire numerous rounds per minute? For protection? Against what - a stampede? They are ASSAULT weapons - for ATTACKING!

I'm sorry to say, and don't want to upset any of our American members, that the problem lies with the government, for allowing people to own such weapons. I am not against people owning small handguns for protection, but assault weapons are totally unnecessary.

So I'm not 100% against guns, we still need them, but I still prefer cheese!

My only comments are in some places it makes sense - in others, not so much.

For example, I lived in rural Alaska where they have a saying, "Step off the plane and into the food chain."

While assault weapons are over the top in that environment, it makes sense to have large caliber handguns and rifles available. Something that will stop a charging bear who views you as dinner in it's tracks for example. Or even worse, a pissed off moose.

However, in an urban environment the need for these sorts of guns isn't the same...

The fear for most people is that if they take assault weapons then everything else is next by simply expanding the law. And many states already have a ban in effect on assault weapons without any consideration. For example in California an Olympic biathlon athlete (where they ski and shoot) had a weapon that had a ban on it, but it was his weapon he used for the sole purpose of his event. A California politician said, 'If he wants to keep his gun he can move to Texas.' This wasn't a cheap AR15 knock off, this was a $25,000 competition class rifle used for these sorts of events and they wanted him to bring it down, turn it in, and have it destroyed.

The problem is that when most people talk about stuff like this they throw reason right out the window and draw a line in the sand out of fear.

just curious ,,know the reason for legal wepons in us ,,whats the reason for various cheeses to be ill leagle

i agree with all of the statments above ,,easiest thought to understand from me is ,,if i take a life then i must understand i might have to surrender my life,,defence is nessary to protect life ,,not possesions ,beliefs ,or idoligies so when i need a bullet i will go out a buy one with the understanding that my actions may forfiet my life

I thought I had posted it but it was on Facebook...

They can't important cheese made with raw milk (non-pasteurized) aged less than 60 days.

Here's a link to the guy who did some research on the subject.
