To all the gun haters out there....

i watched a press conference about this.

the mayor of d.c. has eyebrows, and then a second pair of eyebrows made out of veins right above them.

i believe people should have a right to protect themselves, for instance if you break into my house you will experience what it is like to be on the wrong end of a hunting knife. but here in england, guns are illegal for the public to own, with the exception of farmers, also you may have a license for a rifle/shotgun if you use it on private ground. under no circumstances would you legally be able to own a handgun, and we have a very, and i mean very, low rate of gun crime.

You're assuming that the people who commit these crimes obtain these handguns legally. Most do not. More people were shot with handguns in london last year than in my home (Denver) yet the way your media makes it sound we still have gunfights at high noon on the streets here. And I'm speaking from experience as I've spent a fair amount of time in the UK.

All outlawing ownership of guns does is take them away from law abiding citizens. There will always be a black market for whatever it is people desire: Drugs, Guns, Prostitution, etc..

To all of you who are worried that one man can take our guns away get a fucking clue. Especially now that the supreme court has set a precedent on gun ownership. In order to take away guns in the US you have to alter the constitution, and that is not an easy thing to do.

Cheers,

I'm in agreement with the bulk of the posters on this thread; stricter gun control laws only penalise the law abiding.

dood, did you read about that shooting in LODO last weekend?

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

it's funny, all the CO guys in this thread are gun toting fanatics. Awesome, I love this state. I cant wait for the Democratic National Convention.

I wouldn't, which is why I don't own a gun even though I believe in gun rights. If somebody breaks into your house and all you have is a knife or a baseball bat....are you going to beat them to death with it or just put them down and call police? What's the difference?

Sean Taylor was killed by his gardener when he attempted to attack the person who invaded his home with a machete instead of a handgun. I bet if he had a handgun, he would have shot to kill that 17 year old that took his life.

that is the most ridiculous statement i have heard in a long time, prevention is always better than the cure, you cant just give these psychos bigger sentences, you have to do something to stop hanguns falling into their hands in the first place!
of course i know the fucking difference between a shotgun and a rifle, just because guns are illegal for the general public to own here, it doesnt mean i have never used one. i have a friend who owns a farm and i have been out shooting with him before, he owns a couple of shottys and rifles. im not anti guns, i enjoy shooting. i just dont see any reason why hanguns should be available to the general public. it makes it far too easy for easily concealed weapons to fall into the wrong hands. you cant argue with that statement, its 100% true

So that King George doesn't quarter troops in your house, or make you buy your tea from only the East India Trading Company, remove your right to representation, or your right to trial by peers.

I tell you what if anyone ever touch my kid I would execute them myself.

Easier said than done.

Ask Ellie Nessler how that worked out for her.

well handguns are illegal here, we are free to buy our tea where we please and still have the right to trial by peers.

What happened to that guy who shot robbers with a shotgun who kept invading his house? Isn't he in jail now?
