What would HM The Queen think about this?

[starling]

In an earlier question asked regarding the recent massacre in Colorado, I suggested that a well armed populace, such as that in Switzerland, would have prevented the killings as people would have been able to defend themselves. To which Lili replied that Switzerland and the United States are not a fair comparison because Switzerland is a small, homogenous country. Excuse me? Switzerland may be small, but it is hardly homogenous. The last time I was there there were more minarets than spires. And muslim immigration aside, Switzerland is comprised of several distinct cultures, each with their own (official) language! How is that homogenous???

Lili also suggested that a better comparison would be Australia, well I would say what about Mexico? The country with the strictest gun control laws in the western hemisphere, and also the country with the most gun related deaths!

Lili, you are obviously anti-gun. But don't let your personal opinions get in the way of the FACTS. If someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting, I would pull out mine and shoot back. Whereas a lone gunman has several targets, I only have one. WHose odds are better? If you criminalize guns, then only criminals will have guns!

What does Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the 16 Commonwealth realms, think of this matter? What is her position? Please limit your answers to this question, using the details as a starting point only. I have included them to demonstrate the relevance this issue has among our royal fans. Thank you.

Screw the Queen.

She would have no opinion on the internal politics of another country.

Also Switzerland is not a well armed populace. Men are in regarded as being in the army reserve and have a rifle which must be kept securely at home. A series of shootings meant ammunition is no longer issued. Europe does not have the Wild West attitude to guns of the USA

Who the hell cares what Lilli thinks?

She is an American,

I used to like Lilli until Mitt Romney came here and insulted our country.

This is not a royalty question, and your mention of the Queen was merely a ploy to put it here. We do not know what the Queen "thinks of this matter" because it is the kind of subject on which she does not publicly comment. As you well know.

Moreover, this "question" takes more the form of a rant than anything else. Rants are, as you know, against the rules.

I have quite a few comments I could make, but since this is not the correct place to make them, I will not do so. I suggest that you re-post the question in a more appropriate category. I'm sure you are bright enough to figure out what category that might be.
