Why so many Americans love their guns? BBC News
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

To each is own. Some countries women have are forced to cover their faces. And before someone says…"but the burkas dont get people killed". Well what happens if those women start removing their cover? What if they want to stop practicing that culture. So they government comes with guns forcing them. Whos going to stop them and with what ?
Or if a country gets invaded like Ukraine is now? US citizens going to line up waiting to get handed a firearm like the citizens in Ukraine were doing? You have to take the bad with the good in everything. Wanna hangout at the beach? Risk of skin cancer, jellyfish bites etc. Want fastfood or fancy restaurant? Food poisoning bc someone didn't cook it right. List goes on. Lol eave the US and their guns alone. There was a reason they gave us the 2nd amendment. And wasn't to hunt. If you didn't hunt you didn't eat. Guns dont kill people. People kill people. Its all the poison in foods, skies, products we use. Medicine. Many times the medicine side effects are worse than the disease. Its the non teaching of respect for the firearm and bad up bringing and false flags of those people that want to control the people with an iron fist.
