Ladies and gents.
We are fucked.
Today, the law to ban any semi automatic firearm that accepts mags with more than 20 shots has passed with 27 votes in favor and 10 against.
The gun culture and gun ownership of Europe is now finally dead and buried. The EU bureocrats have managed to destroy civilian gun ownership while pretending that it will protect us.
Godspeed my fellow European gun owners.

There are gun owners in europe?
>>30606903
Not anymore, apparently.
>>30606899
Do not comply
>>30606903
France and two of the Scandinavian states (I'm guessing Nor & Fin b/c LOL Swecucks) are all in the top ten gun ownership per capita in the world.

so.... this doesn't even ban magazine over 20 rounds in capacity, it just says if you insert one into a semi automatic rifle it is now illegal? how do you fucking enforce that
>>30607222
They will just say that any gun that ACCEPTS those mags will be banned.
Since pretty much ALL guns that accept detachable mags can have mags over the capacity of 20 rounds, these will be banned.
>pissing off a lot of gunowners while anti-eu sentiment is steadily rising
They are burying their own graves.
>>30607324
Two things
First, how exactly does one bury a grave? Do you just toss more dirt on it? Wouldn't that just become part of the grave?
Second, what is that in the image, it looks interesting

You're as fucked as you allow yourself to be.
You're [presumably] armed.
well at least 'you faggots are trying to disarm our populace' is a GOOD reason to exit the EU
What if i modify my gun to fire only belts? Like make the magazine well narrow to barely bigger than the bullet and just have a belt coming out from under.
>>30606899
Those EU folks aren't even elected, are they?
I also don't understand how this group can overstep local governments. Do EU countries really have no sovereignty?
>>30607595
Modifying a firearm to comply with the law is a loophole.
>>30607539
our new old lady pm said she'd get us out
>>30607595
Seems impractical af
>>30607622
They cant possibly have a law banning a loophole, can they?
>>30606899
Let me understand this.
If a semi-automatic gun can accept a mag with over 20 rounds in it, it's banned?
So someone could manufacture an oversized mag for any semi they want to see banned in the EU?
>>30607007
i guess sweden isnt as cucked as i thought
>>30607631
Is it considered a magazine if theres a hole in the bottom? Would be interesting to see a 'magazine' that just hangs the top round on top and belts the rest under
No fucking way Switzerland would comply with this...right?
>>30607632
No, that's just the agenda.
>have gun with features
>ban specific features
>modify gun to comply
>compliance seen as loophole
>ban compliant features
>repeat as necessary to disarm your subjects
Can they even enforce such a law throughout all of Europe? The big cities I can see them enforcing it, but Europe is fuck huge and there's a lot of rural areas.
>>30607673
Why doesnt the populace ballsy up and use said loopholes to revolt and finally be free?

Plenty of oldfags that have cottages in hills have "misplaced" ww2 ordnance that was never registered in the first place.
So when Russia invades, will EU hold emergency vote to ban foreign invasions?
>>30607796
We should ban all sorts of violence preemptively.
Apparently you can still get 20+ rounders for sport / reservist shooting, so all is not lost.
Still sucks though, and the chances of that getting repealed are pretty slim.
>>30606899
Well, at least we can't be jealous of Switzerland anymore.
>>30607608
Its basically a bloc of nations bullying and threatening to not talk (trade) with any one nation that dares to not follow all dress code put up by the head bitch in the group.

The EU is going for the whole ball of beans.
It'll never amount to a hill of wax.
So are the Gestapo going to search every gun owner's house now?
Are you going to fight back?
>>30607622
That's not a loophole, it's outside the law.
A loophole is an intentionally placed gap in the law. Like "everyone goes to jail for lying to congress except Hillary Clinton" if that were actually encoded into the law.
Side note: obviously the above example is not in the law. That makes it a "travesty of justice."

Tl;dr this exact wording has been used to ban all semi autos for hunters in germany, it will ban semi autos for everyone because literally every semi auto with a detachable magazine can accept magazines >20 rounds
>>30607927
Switzerland will be bullied into accepting it via Schengen
Schengen is a rubber treaty that allows one side (the EU) to constantly add new requirements the other parties need to accept to stay in, despite it not at all being what they signed

>>30606899
>firearm that accepts mags with more than 20 shots
So all semi-automatic firearms that accept magazines are banned?
>>30608250
shh don't give them new ideas
If I get accepted into a university in America what are the chances of me getting a job there and being able to stay? I've dreamed of moving to America for a long time. Especially with how Europe is going to shit now I wanna get off the sinking ship.
Any Americans know any European immigrants?
>>30608290
Get a degree that is in high demand and will retain value for a long time. Becoming a citizen does take like seven years, assuming immigration doesn't get clogged up with more amnesty bullshit.
>>30608287
But that's what the law says isn't it?
Makes it kind of weird that they'd say 20 rounds then. Banning any firearm that "accepts" magazines over 3000 rounds would, legally speaking, do the exact same thing because any gun that can take a magazine could theoretically take a 3001 round one.
>>30608338
I don't care about becoming a citizen right away. I plan to live in America for the long term anyway, permanent residence is the thing that counts.
>>30606899
Still think the Brits had the wrong idea?
>>30608407
Nobody with a brain ever thought that.
Why is it that states in the U.S. that have no standing military power of their own and have to face a powerful federal government have more ability to resist tyrannical laws individual nations all with their own militaries and governments? Literally what is stopping them from going "nah, fuck that shit" and doing whatever they want in spite of the EU?
Some states actually have laws that make it illegal for federal agents to enforce other laws they don't like, but there are entire European countries that have to bend forward when these incompetent fucks tell them to? I don't get it.
>>30608354
Yes it's exactly what it says.
Fuckers used the same wording in a court ruling Germany, effectively banning all semi-automatic guns for hunters, since they could accept mags with more that 2 rounds in them (in Germany it is forbidden to shoot at game animals with more than 2 rounds in the mag when using a semi-auto rifle/shotgun).
And you see they said "semi-automatic GUNS", not rifles or shotguns.
BAM! No more handguns for you! Some states and registration offices actually did that shit.
BUT that shit got slapped down recently. Thanks GRA, thanks DJV.
>>30607684
The same reason we haven't. We're all this horrible mix of comfortable, lazy, and easily frightened that we won't do anything to compromise all the shit we have.
IIrc this proposal still needs to pass the european parliament to take effect and I think I read once that european gun lobbyists allegedly have a good amount of influence in the parliament. So while things aren't looking great there is a good chance that whatever the commission drafted up will still get watered down
>>30608472
The directive stated clearly semi-automatic rifles which can accept high capacity magazines or have a length < 60cm. Handguns are not concerned as pistol ammo doesn't have the power rifle rounds have.
Even if this law would pass, you'd still be able to own semi-automatic shotguns like the Benelli M4 or FN SLP as they have internal magazines.
>>30607670
The Swiss arn't part if the EU, just the Trade Union so everybody can get some Sig. They have always been against joining, killing a referendum in 2001 with a high 70% majority, and withdrawing their outdated bid to join in March of this year. (If you want them I have sources)
Switzerland is pretty based about most stuff.
>>30608528
Yes. The parliament refused to modify the EU gun directive once. Chances are they will refuse it again, but the first vote was before the Paris terrorist attacks.
>>30607324
It's "digging" Biff. "DIGGING their own graves".
>>30607183
The fucked up thing is that it was Britain that pushed the hardest to get this through. And Britain was the one pushing for magazine limits.
>>30608545
Switzerland but also Norway are part of the Schengen treaty and as such have to apply EU directives. And not being part of the EU means they have to apply but are not allowed to vote. So it's pretty much the worst situation.
>>30608545
They're Schengen so it has nothing to say. I'm from Norway and we aren't EU either, but still this shit will get our semi-autos banned if we want to remain in Schengen (ofc politicans would rather want to remain than to throw that under the bus for the sake of gun owners)
>>30608164
I hope we leave Schengen
Fortunatley even some of our libtards see that the EU is oppressing us big time
>>30608560
I don't understand the way they make laws in the EU.

Here I'm posting a € 600'000 EU study showing that more guns = less crime.

5 internets to McFlydore
Calm down everyone.
It'll take years until the final form of the law.
The situation now is not that bad:
-Registration of more parts of the gun
So what? A bit more ink in my license.
-10/20 magazine limit
It ist not said that every weapon which accepts magazines with rounds more that 10/20 will be banned. It's just the magazines. That's why Luxembourg is whining about it.
10 or even 20 is way enough. If you feel the urge to shoot more bullets in a row buy a high cap magazine and tell noone. The range owner I know would'nt care.
-Stricter controlling of people when purchasing online
A bit more paperwork. So what.
And Switzerland can keep it's militia as well.
Don't know what's the problem here.
>>30608654
Okay, so the commission that voted on it today (Internal Market Committee) is a subgroup of the parliament, and the now modified bill will be present to the whole European Parliament as a whole in November?
Am I wrong?
>>30608679
If you go on like that you'll have nothing left. This is a slipperly slope.
They're not banning magazines, they're banning GUNS that can accept those magazines.

>>30608679
Fuck you, traitor!
Luckily, the whole thing is a directive. It means that the different countries have some liberties about how they will apply it. I mean, there was already 91/477/EEC and Switzerland didn't apply it fully. We have no weapon categories, and very few restrictions. I assume things shouldn't change too much in the worst case. There's also the problem with the mass-immigration vote that passed in Switzerland and that is still not applied. I assume that as long as there's no compromise with the EU about it, there won't be any law change in Switzerland. Finally, the SVP/UDC has still an initiative in its sleeve, to make Swiss laws come before international laws. That would probably be the end of Schengen, though.
>>30608824
They wouldn't. There are special rules for deactivated weapons as well as collectors and museums

Double dubs and that other guy confirm what assmad Europeans miss every time. We're aware of our ability to revolt, we just don't choose to do so because it is a -very- dangerous thing to do. It's the last resort of all the last resorts, but the fact that we talk about it openly is sometimes enough to get the point across.
>>30608632
no, more like no one complied when NY and CT changed weapon and magazine laws.
So does this mean Russia is now eyeing the EU hungrily?
>>30608700
They are NOT banning every gun that accepts more than 10/20 round magazines. Again: This is exactly the point so many politicians were whining about: Put 30 round magazine in the weapon and it's illegal, 10 and it's legal.
>>30608804
It's written in this thread a dozen times but only for you: Switzerland is part of Schengen and took part of the negotiations with the result that they can keep their militia. Tradition or something like that was the main reason.
>>30608829
Betraying whom?
Of course there are some parts of the so called law I don't like. For example that psychological assessment every 5 years. But alltogether it is not SO bad.
Registration of the essential parts of the gun is actually the only reasonable part of the law. Won't make a big difference for a terrorist but you can't deny that it could (!) help stopping people from re-building disabled weapons.
Until it's final form the law will be weakened anyway.

You're the first person to say that, do you have a source? The press conference was very diffuse.
>>30608679
The extra paperwork adds up, especially when you factor in bureaucratic "delays" (getting a gun license takes several months here in Canada, most of which is just waiting for your paperwork to be processed). On top of that, that bit of added paperwork adds all sorts of wonderful new firearms offences the cops can hit you with if it isn't up to date, filled out correctly, or the correct type. Extra paperwork is the roadblock these bastards use to dissuade potential gun owners from taking up shooting, so that they take one look at the process and say "fuck that".
>>30609057
The wording is rather unclear when it comes to the magazine capacity part. best I could find was this article
http://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/eu-waffenrecht-101.html

Are you retarded? The whole law must be fought.
Europe has one of the lowest firearm-related death rate of all continents. 1'000 die each year in firearms-related homicides and accidents. That's nothing compared to the 26'800 deadly car accidents on EU streets each year, or the 700'000 smoke-related deaths each year in the EU.
So, why does the EU needs stricter gun laws?
And don't come with that bullshit with deactivated guns that get deactivated. The French government placed the guns that were used in Charlie Hebdo massacre under Secret Defense. Which means that no one can investigate the guns' origin anymore and has to believe what the Grande Nation says. And as we all now, France's elite is not corrupt at all (oil deals with Saddam Hussein and Khadafi during embargoes, training of troops before Rwanda massacres...).

This has to be approved by the plenary session of the European Parliament, which is scheduled for September.
And then it is slated to be discussed within the European council, which is presided by Slovakia at the moment (which is Czech Republic's little brother).
If Slovakia's gun laws are anything like the Czech Republic's, they're not going to be too happy with this shit.
What happened today was a vote by one of the bodies of the EP; the IMCO.
There are a bunch of countries in the EP proper that have already expressed that they do not back stricter gun laws (Finland etc.).
>>30609434
There's probably more. Nobody can really say, EU politics is a fucking mess. And the voting assemblies are just the tip of the iceberg, I dare you to go and try figuring out how the committees and advisory panels and courts all feed into the mix.
The only good part about it is things can take years to get anywhere if national governments drag their feet implementing it, and everything gets interpreted about as many ways as their are countries, so what leaves the central EU machinations is probably a long way from what most places will actually get, which could be for better or worse depending on local politics.
>>30609627
I also want to add that the original proposal has been watered down a lot already.
Pretty much the only thing that we can be sure will pass is the "better cross-border monitoring" and the EU-wide rules on deactivation and blank firing guns and shit.

Noncompliance.
If it's on a massive enough scale, it will work.
It worked for us. They pushed us already with the bans and our right to carry. So when the long gun registry was rolled out, NOBODY REGISTERED. The RCMP looked at the number of guns imported, and noticed that it was nearly double what was registered. So it was repealed, and burned, and laughed at as a massive waste of taxpayer money.
Just stash your guns in the basement. Bury them. Hell if you are paranoid, just secretly destroy them! Just as long as the EU gets the message when they ask for guns and none turn up.
Didn't German minister of the interior (de Maizière) already shoot down this EU gun law proposal?
>>30609627
The vote is scheduled on the 22nd of November actually
>>30606899
The REAL vote is due to the end of November. That was just the vote on what exact laws will be voted on November
>>30609434
You basically have cunts number 1 being the commissioners, they are unelected bureaucrats running around being contact by political parties and lobbies, then cunt number 1 (a French contacted by the French Minister of interior in this case) brings his shitty proposal to bunch of cunts number 2 who are the commission (the cunts who just passed this and it's led by a brit right now, see the irony?), they discuss it for 6 months, give us some hopes and decide that their shitty text is wonderful and will definitely not help create a huge black market because of the no buy back policy and fucking over all semi-autos using box mags. Then it gets to the biggest bunch of cunts in the group, the European Parliament which is one quarter euro sceptic, one quarter greens, one quarter conservative and the last quarter jerks off somewhere. They'll vote if the directive has to be adopted by all our collective asses.
So you would say there is hope since the eurosceptics are a huge part of the parliament and we have conservatives too, actually no. the Eurosceptics are the biggest cunts in the bunch because they'll vote for more gun control obviously to prepare for the day they get elected and take advantage of all our Orwellian laws. Welcome in the European Union, shit's fucked.
>>30609765
>three years
That's a staggeringly optimistic estimate for a decision on some intentions for what an initial response should include. If you want an actual budget to move towards something happening you should probably try at least 10 years.
Then again if it was a joke before then any kind of EU military concept is now way off into the realm of silliness. At present the only 2 countries capable of doing much more than play on their own doormat are Britain and France, and I don't quite see Britain wanting to hand over military sovereignty whilst heading out the exit door on everything else.

There are 5 committees in the EU:
* European Parliament
* Council of the EU
* European Commission
* European Council
* European Justice Court
>>30609845
No, the actual law to be voted can still change.

Fellow syrupfaggot here. They also banned over 50% of all handguns in Canada at the time by requiring barrels over 4.25" long. All of those guns promptly vanished into the ether, I'm sure (most were reported as lost). Just quietly don't comply.

Except the time needed for us to vote on the gun laws would be greater than the time needed to EU to enforce the said laws. We're cucked
>>30609954
Honestly our best hope is to see Europe's darkest years once again, the European Union crumbling and all the far right wings party getting in power with all it implies would mean that people would realize how badly they fucked up by letting all that pass.

-ban of all firearms that look like "automatic weapons of war" : bye bye AR15, Saiga, Vz58, FAL, etc
-ban of all handguns that can shoot more than 21 rounds without reloading
-ban of all rifles that can shoot more than 11 rounds without reloading
-ban of all rifles which length can be reduced to less than 60 cm, either with a telescopic stock, folding stock, or a stock that can be removed easily
-ban of all category A firearms (although they are already banned in France, but they are trying to fuck up countries like the Czech republic or Switzerland by doing so)
-new deactivation standards for the whole of the EU, which have been in effect since april, requiring a deactivated gun to be fully welded and pinned so that no part can be moved or disassembled, not even the magazine. Even with the new deactivation standard, deactivated weapons that look like an automatic weapon of war will still be banned
-category D will be removed, and everything that was in it will be moved into category C, meaning that you'll need a license, a safe and registration in order to buy antiques, black powder replicas, deactivated guns, blank guns (starter pistols), replicas (including airsoft and paintball), etc...
-a special tax on guns and ammo
-the marking of all parts of a gun with a serial number, as well as the marking of every single cartridge in each ammo box
-ban of internet sales
-making it illegal to buy guns or ammo with only cash
-stricter medical exams
Sure doesn't look that bad, eh? Kys

Canada, particularly southern Canada, has a lot of lakes and coastline.
Boating accidents happen all the time.
There is also the old gem
"I sold it to Mike, from Canmore. He had a PAL, everything checked out. What, he didn't report the sale to you? That's odd..."
Or of course "I was on the way to the range and bikers broke into my car!"

What happens if the country like refuse to enforce it?
I mean seems bullshit law.
>>30610279
They can't. That's literally the point of it

Yep, that's modern Europe in a nutshell.

You can't, we had hopes when they started debates at the commission and most of them said the text was awful and useless then we had the results of their vote.

Others have already answered, but don't forget that the main driving force behind the ban is French minister of interior, Bernard Cazeneuve, pressuring the EU MEPs with muh 130 killed by terrorism.
MEPs are under extreme pressure from socialists and greens from all countries. That can even goes as far as threats.

>>30610404
I have never seen a single gun shop who didn't take debit cards but whatever, blame the fucktards behind this law, not me. I guess their goal is to be able to trace down all financial transactions concerning anything related to guns.
>>30610368
;-;
>>30610390
And how difficult are these processes?
>>30610440
You need one people signing an initiative for it to be considered by the EU, you can't make initiatives to oppose things, you can only propose new things.
>>30610368
Because nobody fucking comes to those voting sessions. They're supposed to be more than a hundred of guys in there but only 37 showed up
>>30610462
Then how does one stop bad legislation? By proposing new less shit legislation?
>>30610482
You can't.
The EU is like a gift that keeps on giving.
Why would European gun owners not just immigrate to the greatest country in the world which is the United States of America?
>>30610482
You don't, even useful shit like unique phone tarification in the EU didn't pass because it was infringing on the right of phone companies to fuck you over.

the only one who can propose new legislation is the European commission, which means there's no real way to reverse bad legislation, or choose a new path of legislations.
It's really a dictatorship, but those stupid fucks down south can't seem to grasp it yet.

Wasn't the FN FAL 20 round only. Where was the defacto capital of the EU again?
Gee, I wonder who could be behind this.
>>30610812
FYI there is a 30 rounds magazine for the FAL. And I believe for the G3 too. Also, some very high capacity magazines compatible with these magwells and magazine catchers have been made in the US.
So, technically, everything with a magwell may be a more than 20 rounds capable weapon. And thus bannable.
It's bullshit ! And it's gonna be the last error of these pricks.
Meanwhile the mudslimes acquire complete arsenals they use to KILL AND TERRORISE !!!
>>30610896
I fucking hope there will be more attacks. Maybe people will get fed up and overthrow those fucks.
>>30606919
Why do so many people treat this as a total gun ban, when it's just one type of guns being armed?
The majority of guns in Europe are not semi auto to begin with. They're bolt action rifles and doublebarrel/pump action shotguns because the hunting/fudd community is much bigger than the sporting community.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending EU or anything that it does. As a Norwegian I'd like to see it burn. But none of my guns are semi auto any way and very few of the hunters I know have semi auto guns. So I feel for the sports shooter guys cause they are the ones that will suffer. But that doesn't mean I am losing my funs because they aren't even semi automatic.
>>30609001
This implies that civilian european gun owners have ever been a deterrent against invasion in the first place.
Protip: I don't think Russia has ever been afraid of the civilian gun owners. And our defense has always been based on the professional military organizations + militias that are organised and armed by the government.
>>30611016
You do realize that this ban is going all according to a plan started by Cecilia Maelstrom years ago, right? That their plan was to ban ALL guns eventually, but not all at once. First semi-auto rifles, then handguns, then any gun with a magazine, and then they'll ban the few guns left.
Note that hunting will eventually be banned as well, the greens have been working on this for decades. Eventually, eating meat will be banned as well, nordic countries are already experimenting insects and algae to completely replace meat in human consumption.
Yes, while us sport shooters lose our guns, you'll keep your fudd hunting shit. That's the point, to not hurt too many people at once, so that there isn't too much opposition. Furthermore, they are saying to hunters "if you help us banning evil sporting weapons, we'll let you have your hunting shit for a little while more". But they'll come for your guns someday, I guarantee it. You might not believe it, until the day it happens, but it's going to happen, in 10 years at most.
>http://www.coventry.ac.uk/Global/08%20New%20Research%20Section/FINAL%20EFFECT%20PROJECT%20REPORT.pdf
They funded a research program on the effect of firearms in the EU and literally came to the conclusion that
>More handgun ownership leads to less victimization, however being armed increases the chance of escalation
>Gangs is a big reason for gun crime
>It's more important to focus on criminal not the gun/weapon
>Most firearms in crimes are smuggled
>>30611176
I'll add that some French politician (France is the main force behind the ban, by the way) said at some point about hunting weapons :
>do you think it's normal for hunters to have guns when they are old and have a bad eye sight? There should be strict medical exam who ban people with glasses from owning guns. Their guns are extremely dangerous, their Winchester (sic), can shoot up to 1500 meters, they are almost weapons of war.
The key word here is "weapon of war". Currently in leftist lingo, it designates evil semi-auto rifles. But don't worry, your bolt action will become a weapon of war someday as well.
After all, bolt actions used to be weapons of war in the past.
>>30611075
The biggest problem with invasion and conquest is locals rebelling. Without guns said rebelling is a lot harder. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
>>30611176
oh no, not the almighty Cecilia Maelstrom and her powerful swedish green party?!
lol, she isn't the only person who has wanted this, that doesn't mean her ebin master plan is in motion and that the rest of her plan will naturally unfold.
Make fun of the fudds if you want, but they are the ones with some actual sway in politics and the main reason we still have gun ownership. it certainly isn't the sports shooters who convince politicians to keep guns. It's the hunters.
And you're clueless about hunting if you think it will go away. The government actually sort of like us because we do their animal population control for free. The fauna need to be managed and controlled so that it stays diverse.
Who is gonna shoot all those cancerous wild boars for example? The government will thank us when we do that.
>>30611213
How will they justify labelling over/unders as weapons of war?
>This gun can fire many pellets in one shot, it is a weapon of war.
>>30611284
>The biggest problem with invasion and conquest is locals rebelling.
I can't really agree with that, the military organization that is defending the country is a bit more bothersome to defeat than some loosely organized and untrained civilians with subpar equipment
>>30611368
Which is why USSR and America have done so well in the middle-east
>>30611368
And yet they fucked up all of the middle east.
>>30609461
This is why they have to detonate trash in a 3" thick steel box before tossing it into the incinerator.
>>30611378
>>30611379
the middle east failed because of middle eastern politics, western ideas on how to govern those countries simply don't work
from a military point of view, they wiped the floor with the rebels and killed people in droves
the kill ration in the middle east is insane, and the rebels are constantly defeated on the battlefield
that sort of civilian defiance doesn't necessarily require guns, it just requires a civilian population that will never do what the invaders want them to
>>30611455
I have to disagree. Guns are a deciding factor in any form of group that is resisting what they see as invaders.
>>30611295
Keep telling yourself you're so high and mighty and politicians can't touch you. You'll lose your hunting shit before 10 years, mark my words.
>>30610551
Idi u picku mater.
>>30611284
In America for example the militia/weekend warriors bring their own guns and ammo.
In a lot of european countries they are armed by the government.
So there will be opportunities to rebel. Guns are still going to be present. In my country the Home Guard has hidden gun caches for such occations.
It's just a different mentality and approach to the militia/reservist/weekend warrior. The average civilian with a mind to resist a foreign invader would go to the Home Guard. And weapons are still gonna be here for times of war.
>>30611368
And your shitty below 2% GDP NATO spending goals military will be swept away like toys when the armed men without unit markings show up to liberate your minority Russian population.
The long term thorn is occupation. It's hard to operate a new territory when urban snipers keep shooting patrols and resistances fighters keep breaking infrastructure and bombing shit.
Look at the polish army vs the polish resistance in WWII. Arguably neither were very effective, but the resistance accomplished more strategically than the initial defense of Poland.
>>30608407
I do.
British arent leaving Schengen, theyll just become a Norway; subject to all the rules without even a vote.
Beautiful.
>>30607007
That stat makes me wonder home many americans admit to owning guns.
If somebody called out of the blue and asked if i had guns in the house id say no.
>>30611530
Ah it's a cultural thing. I see your point now. However, as an amerikan I still prefer to keep my own weapons and have those caches as reinforcement or a back bone to what civilian defenders already have.
>>30608562
Why dont you make like a leaf and tree.
>>30611560
Well considering the UK never signed the Schengen agreement in the first place, I expect it isn't easy for them to leave. Idiotic amerifat
>>30611532
If Russia is foolish enough to go against NATO it will be fighting on multiple fronts against multiple countries, so those 2%s will start to add up my friend.
>>30611378
>>30611379
Most middle eastern countries have awful gun bans as well, and the rebels arm themselves with stolen guns taken from military depots and such which they have "liberated".
And if there was an invasion in Europen, I have a feeling military guns would be liberated in a similar fashion. The criminals here already have illegal weapons. So european rebels would get them too.
>>30611633
>But NATO
We're NATO. And by "we're" I mean team America force, who will save your sorry asses for the third time in a century if shit kicks off before 2018. You're welcome btw, but your resistance fighters feeding information, blowing up fuel depots, murdering Slavs, etc. plays a role that leads to American tanks with Garland's parading down your streets instead of T72s
