Seeing as Cameron wants to avoid a referendum, he really had to use the veto to appease the folks back home. That said, it's refreshing to see a British Prime Minister actually go as far as to use the mythical UK Veto to defend UK interests. On this issue, at least, I can't imagine anyone wouldn't support his decision 100%. |

Well, if I am not mistaken, Cameron vetoed the EU-wide treaty, but the core Euro members are going to carry out the treaty by themselves. |

The only change, beside maybe some congressmans, would probably than the congress would gain some sympathy as a ''victim''. They might manage to be more popular than Hugo Chavez .

And making people to update their gun license or relinquish ownership of their weaponry (include a special keepsake license for war vets looking to keep the odd M1911/Browning HP that saved their lives), and making people pay to upkeep the license. The periodic license payments should solve PART of the US debt problem. Compared to the USD? GBP/USD EUR/USD GBP is slightly stronger than Euro, but the former is getting dragged down. And..... New meat for the grinder - Croatia pulled into EU to add solidity liquidity to the Euro Data for Croatia. Another country with deficit to the Euro. Negative current account balance too.

the problem with anti-gun legislation in a place like the U.S where there already ARE a lot of guns around, is simple.
criminals don't obey the law (its in the job description). if you make it illegal for ordinary, law abiding citizens to own weapons, then it means only NON law abiding citizens would own them. there's got to be something wrong with a situation where only the criminals get to have weapons.

The pounds fall against the Euro over time seems to have stabilized and is now hoovering around 1.15 for the last 2 months. Budget/debt issues and risk of bank contagion from the Eurozone prevent a strong rise of the currency.

And thanks to people like you, I think I'll go down to my local gun store in Havasu and pick up a new evil black rifle.

Some people own no guns. Some people own one gun.
And some people own lots of guns. Some because they are collectors. Some because they like to have a range of choices at the target range. And some just because they like to get the next biggest thing (sort of like hot rodders).
