    I think some American people have just got the President ” Pissed Off ”

    I belive that certain individuals are about to get their toys taken off them .

    Hopefully before they have a hissy fit & start quoting ” The consitution ” & throw their guns out of the Pram !!

    50% of the worlds guns are owned bt US Citizens …WTF is that all about ???

    There are 300million privatly owned firearms in the US…What the F. is that all about ??

    94,388 people have already been shot in the USA this year !!!!

    Time for Change !!!!

    Two quotes ( By Americans )

    “Americans are the only race which passed directly from barbarism to decadence without knowing civilisation.”

    Or : ” How much longer are we going to think it necessary to be ” American ” before being cultivated , being enlightened , being humane , & having the same intellectual discipline as other civilised countries ?”
