Don't believe it has anything to do with Obama. As far as I know the US was always conservative regarding things like alcohol and prostitution.

Once more it's good that you are content with your laws and that they make you feel free, but laws in other countries are more lax in other aspects. See prostitution or alcohol laws for example. Or...

Of course American gun laws are of no concern to us but this a thread in which the OP asks Brits about their strict gun laws and in which Brits defend their domestic laws.

That's what I mean but I believe that is the original quote (even though I'm sure that it means what you mean)

Thanks for answering my others by the way

Is the end more important than the means?

Is homosexuality a disease?

Is less more?

Why does the pot call the kettle black?
Is the glass half full or half empty?
Why does the question burn?

Ok I'll take your word for it then.
