Yeah, everyone form a huddle around the scrap, but not so it's obvious to the dinner ladies.Dr. kitteny berk wrote:Fuck that. I wanna see the Eion vs. Joose Argument.

That is all.
Does this include family members and accidents by family members?Joose wrote:uh, no, actually. The statistic is relating to homicides, not suicides.

GUNS WHIN.
Maybe so, but that won't stop bad guys having guns.Woo Elephant Yeah wrote:Nobody should own a gun unless they are a member of the police/army.
The gun buying here is *very* strictly controlled, and there's nothing quite as good as a shotgun for killing little things, and rifles for killing big thingsWoo Elephant Yeah wrote:I'd even go so far as stopping farmers here in the UK from owning one, as there are plenty of other methods of killing creatures on farmland without leaving the door open for the gun industry to sale them to the public.

This is all true.Fear wrote:The problem with your view Mr Berk is that in the UK burglars do not, for the most part, carry a gun. If they do they are seldom real or capable of firing.
If you were to allow households to own a gun for "self defence" then every burglar would have to carry a gun during his crimes also, for their defence.
This in turn increases the likelihood of someone being fatally shot.
As things are now, the most people normally get is a good beating, which is preferable to be shot. Beatings don't often kill.
You will never stop someone killing another person if they want to. You don't even need a weapon to do that.
What a terrific argumentDr. kitteny berk wrote:...
The Second Amendment was written into the Bill of Rights (not the Constitution) because the United States had just won a war of independence in which the government (you know, the police/army et cetera) was overthrown and replaced with (what was supposed to be) a better, less oppressive government. It's pretty hard to stop government tyranny when the government has all of the guns and the citizenry is disarmed.Woo Elephant Yeah wrote:Nobody should own a gun unless they are a member of the police/army.

Obviously the one without pistols, as all the people from the other side jumped across the river and shot them as they only had crap guns to defend themselves with.eion wrote:So, which city do you think had the higher gun crime rate (just actual crimes, not mere possession)?
Go on, guess.
Actually, no, because certain groups in the place with strict gun control remained extremely heavily armed.FatherJack wrote: Obviously the one without pistols, as all the people from the other side jumped across the river and shot them as they only had crap guns to defend themselves with.
