it is a very emotive subject for some reason - as Lord Congi says there is absolutely no reason for them in modern society and those that think there is are probably wrong , hunting - why , target practice - why - defending yourself - why . just looking at them and owning a collection - why ? Soz i just don't get it !
I don't get it either. Guns = killing from a distance, it's all too easy. There's no reason to have a gun other than "I want one" which isn't a convincing arguement over here. In the US it's a difficult chain to break - bad guys have guns so good guys need them to defend themselves. Catch22 - who's going to get the ball going? Not the bad guys and therefore the good guys won't either. Might help if there weren't as many films and computer games focussed on glamourising violence...
Good Gawd! it's so freaken great that The U.K is sooooo much superior than the rest of the world! But as it been said (MANY TIMES on this site!) we're just but of idiots with low quality of damn near everything & just bunch gun totting morrons- so remember when your pointing fingers there are 6 more pointing back at your self! stop & check the bloody mirror before you judge! are you that perfect? I exspect a storm of crap to blow my way from (T-B)folks,but hey i'm not welcome here any damn way --------so be it!
Amazing that a society exists whereby gun ownership is a universal right and healthcare is a privilege. and yes extra hugs have been dished out today
the figures were taken off twitter last night, i can't say if they are accurate, also they would need working as a percentage population wise, 70 million in uk? no idea on population of usa.
i think your statician got a decimal point wrong bud http://www.juancole.com/2012/07/58-murders-a-year-by-firearms-in-britain-8775-in-us.html 9000 is still a lot though !
Im just listening to a phone in where some american bloke is saying that all teachers should be armed in the classroom so as to stop this happenning again, he reckons the teachers could've shot the bloke The worlds going mad
Take stock of the situation that was proposed, teachers being armed, where the hell in a class would a gun be safe? When would a teacher go to retrieve a locked, dismantled gun in the face of danger? How? And keep the kids safe? The NRA are a bunch of : censored: :censored: :censored: heads Guns = safe & secure, when? In which reality? Absolute :censored: the lot of them and anyone who advocates 'the right to bare arms' on the face of the fact that people can and will access guns when they are in the most need of support/control
