I think what depresses me most is that all these people haven't figured out those White House petitions are utterly worthless.

I'd bet a similar petition for Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh or Trump would elicit more...

the fact is no British person is a subject, so are they trying to invent a new person?

I think petitions are great. It is the true voice of the people.

Look at the majesty -- 100,000 have signed for it!! That is only 999,900,000 fewer than have watched the Gangnam Style video.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Apparently Mr. Morgan has said he's going to deport himself if the US's gun laws don't change.

So I'd like to start a fund to help pay for a planet ticket to any where else...

Rush Limbaugh said he would leave the country if the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare.

And if Obama got reelected.

And I am sure lots of other reasons.

Perhaps NATO can all chip in and buy him an island or something...
Better yet, we can use him for covert unsettling of peaceful nations by planting his arse into foreign media.

He did none of that. He said that if Obamacare was passed and everything came through as it was supposed to, he'd go to Costa Rica to get his health care. Not move there.

As for Obama winning, not finding any reference to that either. He did say that America could survive four more years of him.

You're right. I guess referring to assault rifles as "military-grade" is redundant. Either way, there is no reason for private citizens to own them.

Fortunately it's almost impossible for private citizens to own real military-grade weapons, since it requires a special federal permit (with background check, inspections, etc) and costs a huge amount of money. And then a lot of states just have a complete ban anyway. Oh, and the number of legally owned military-grade weapons used in a crime in the past 50 years? You can count them on one hand.

The weapons you are probably thinking of are semi-automatic weapons that just look like military weapons and are not used by any serious military organization.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

I... wait what? Peregrine said something I 100% agree with? Even if it was just a factual statement this is extremely odd. (Well except for the "fortunately" bit. I want my Browning M2)

Though you can actually count the number of legally owned full auto weapons used in a crime since the original restrictions went through in the '30s on one finger as I recall. Police officer shot his wife with the Thompson Sub-Machinegun he'd bought for work.

Fun fact: In many states flamethrowers are completely unregulated.

What's the max speed on your car? Why does it need to go that fast? Don't you know that's dangerous? You don't need that. Why do you have a big TV? That can hurt your eyes, you can have this smaller one instead, and you can only look at it for a couple hours a day, while we're at it some TV shows might offend you or damage your fee fees. So to prevent that we'll just take them off the air. Enjoy your state approved programming citizen!

On a side note so called "assault weapons" (which as we've just covered don't exist) are responsible for something like 1% of the gun crime in this country. Really want to make a difference? Well for one bulldoze Chicago. Then start work on eliminating poverty and controlling black market handguns.

Can you pretty please? If I ever have to duracote a handgun shocker pink for some lady again it'll be too soon.

Fine then, don't own one. The rest of us will keep our Second Amendment rights and politely hope you lose your First Amendment rights just as blithely.
