Unsafe in the U.K.

[8-]]

It's the usual shit. 2 people get shot within a day or two of each other, and the politicians do a lot of talking and come out with some "new" solution.

Danielson you've carried the GPMG for 1/2, fuck's sake what kind of cushy training was that ?, or are you a little guy ?. When I was just a rifleman everytime we'd go on exercise I'd the those dreaded words "K......... take the MAG", and that would be it for the exercise. Just kidding Danielson I know what your saying, it's a heavy bastard but THE best section/platoon support weapon out there, it blow's the M60 away.

hee hee, it was very cushy....i was a cadet .....bearing in mind i was 18 yrs old, 9 stone and not very strong im suprised it didnt weigh more than me! We generally didnt get trained on stuff like that (i.e. something other than an air rifles, 0.22's and SA-80's) but due to my age and me somewhat stupidly asking 'what the fuck is that mutha-fucka....its huge' the guys their were nice enough to drill me on it. not to fire it though....while drilling me they told me to fire off the action...and hell without any rounds in it that thing like shook the earth around me (slight exagerration but much more than what ive ever experienced )....props to people that use it, they must be well 'ard....

i never knew SO19 were limited to semi-auto's though....but i read what actually happened in the news, and if the officers reports are anthing to go by, the dude with the very realistic lighter refused to put the lighter down and his 'hostages' were running all over the place. also only one guy fired, the dude with the MP5 didnt....so i guess its not as bad as that dude who got shot because he was carrying a table leg.

BUMPING this so WeaponX can respond.....whilst he insists on using the Uk to justify guns I think a response is in order......especially as his original post was so full of errors.

 

[Weapon X]

Respond to what? The British and Australians have been the leaders in the great misdaventure called "Gun Control," and they have seen violent crime increase, just as it does in every American city that bans concealed carry.
Look at the American cities with the highest rates of crime, and count how many of them allow concealed carry so that law-abiding citizens can defend themselves.
The Brits are just displaying the logical results of the policies being supported by the anti-gun lobby in America.

well mainly to the fact that your original post was in error......you said something like british bobbies are now armed with machine guns. Rapists and burglars are free to break in.....etc.

You are free to interpret the stats any way you wish....although stats can be made to say whatever you wish. I respect your opinion.....but some of the things said were just plain wrong.

Violent crime will increase in most countries regardless of gun control.
