Us Gun Law

[EDDIE51]

Is this the most ludicrous 'gun law' yet?

It's not a gun law, it's a firework law. Two different things.

[EDDIE51]

^ exactly that's the point. Fireworks including Sparklers are banned but guns are fine!

[sapelesam]

I don't get the point of this article.

“Although the constitution allows guns, the US has a safety-conscious streak. In the "land of the free", the following are banned:
Buying alcohol under the age of 21
Kinder Eggs (because of the choking risk)

Scottish haggis (because of food safety fears)”

Lol, well that’s bad news for young alcoholic Scots with sweet tooth’s

I'm glad the US restricts the sale of fireworks. I wish we did the same here. I also wish they'd restrict firearms. Although, having said that, I've been to the US lots of times and have never seen anyone with a gun, or even suspected that someone might be carrying a gun.

You must have only visited the civilised areas Cloverjo.

I suppose so, sapelsam.
I was on a bus trip with a woman from Alabama who said she owned guns. I was a bit scared for a while until she said "Don't worry, I'm not armed today".

Oh good!

I've heard that about Alabama women, mostly 'armless.
