Well, from what I've read so far the book is by an obvious hack looking to sell sweets to children....in other words giving people like you what you want.

And as we know....truth to an activist is just additionally nice rather than central.

What I would say though is that I don't agree that Trump is right to look to ban this book.....also he also displays his hypocrisy by calling the author a liar as he has no issues with lies that suit him.

So in essence he's getting what he gives out back.

But the tone of all this isn't serious and shouldn't be taken seriously......maybe there is some truth in it...we will see I guess.

I would certainly be interested in reading more serious books on the whole Trump pre and presidential experience once it's all done.....but not a tabloid hack style book.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

That's a bit reductionist isn't it? America is a 'gun culture' country.

While I am not pro-gun...all things being equal...as there are exceptions in my view. While I'm not pro-gun I hardly think that simply being in the NRA is a statement upon the ethics of a person.

For example, Mogg isn't 'pro-gun' and you called him an extremist on here.

When I talk about both democrats and republicans having awful ethics I guess I'm talking about their activists and politicians (with exceptions)......If even if someone told me they were a democrat or a republican politican I'm not so child-like as to regard that as an automatic statement on their ethics. I'm not in the media, technology or educational institutions hiring someone.

That's what I thought you said but I'm happy to be corrected.

It doesn't change the point though. I could choose many other examples of people you don't like who are anti gun.

I know pro gun Americans brought up in that culture who are good people...we disagree on this issue but it's understandable. Being in a gun club isn't a statement on a person's character.

This is very simple to say.....but you can't go from having around 310 million and probably over that amount of guns in the US to being like us....or even a bit like us.

Unless you are living in a gated area that's protected....then not having a gun is taking a far higher risk than for us here.

Can you imagine the free for all the criminals would have in the US if non criminals gave up all their guns.

But is a country with a 'gun culture' better than one without one?.....it's not even an argument....the statistics are there for the fair minded to view.

Amnesties, law changes, severe punishments for transgressors, and ban the sale of bullets to everyone who doesn't actually need a gun for work nor for allowed, legal recreation.

For any other sane country in The West it would be/is doable but as it's the U.S...yep, you are right. Impossible.

You could if all under 12's were brought up via school education with the attitude that guns are only for cops and farmers and sports and illegal otherwise and when they grow up they brought up their children to believe the same and all the while reinforced with new strict gun laws.

It could all be very different in 30-40 years or less and with each passing generation.
