Reasons For Anger, I Think.

Hmmm. Same company that sells "home protection" also sells to criminals. Might be something wrong there.

There's this country in Asia, where everyone has had a weapon forever. Didn't seem to get them past the middle ages.

It's part of why I left the US. Fight over gun control, while the government chips away at actual basic rights, freedom of speech, habeas corpus, right to assemble. In great ideological battles, you almost have to become the enemy in order to defeat them. It's how anyone can conveniently explain away the A Bomb on Japan or the Dresden bombing. They did it first! Ha! Never mind the act. The US will have an internet wall (In envy of China) in a few years for security reasons, no worries.

I used to live in Baltimore. abt 4 years. I lived in a shit hole. On one of the border areas. i.e major projects (Mount Vernon near the MLK Blvd projects, 2 blocks away. I never carried a gun. I could get one no problem. But it just seemed to put a bad nuance on the situation. Baltimore at that time was number 2 on murder, number 2 on violent crime, number top 5 on everything else. Race relations were bad...very bad. Still are I hear.

But I had a ship mate of mine show me allot of tricks on how to survive without a gun. He was from New Orleans, proper. In the city. He took me there and showed me allot of things. They don't call it the big easy for nothing. Every one in that city has a scam and is working some sort of scam. Just be sure the scam ain't you.

I'm not trying to make anyone angry here. But there are other sides to this argument. I'm just of the opinion that we can live without a weapon. Kind of a marker for advanced society, everyone not needing to arm themselves, that's what the army is for, that we pay for. Sorry for rambling. It happens.

My Col. told me something that I have lived by ever since. "Those that wish for peace and harmony within a society no matter how large or how small, must always be prepared for war. For there are those that no matter what you have accomplished in life, in health, in wealth, in humanity and in peace and love, they will do whatever they can to destroy it for it is the nature of the beast that resides within us all."

Tuppence from a Brit in Germany where there is only one gun law.

No guns!

I`d rather beat some twat who broke into my house and threatend me and mine, half to death and send the f*cker to hospital to be able go to court and stand trail, than have the blood of another human being (Waster or not) on my hands.

FFS, why the f*ck are most of us on here with the f*cking beast. Ohh yeah something about, death, destruction, seeing people die and suffer. Are you guys f*cking serious.

70% of you on here are all, Ohh i`ve seen to much, this and that and all this other, I have nightmares, Boo f*cking Hoo. and are still walking around with a weapon WILLING TO KILL some one. WAKE THE F*CK UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

There are countries around this world that need to wake the f*ck up and join the rest of the world in the 21st Century.

To be blunt, and yes toes are going to get f*cking trodden on. If it wasn`t for the US (and a few other countries) and there f*cking gun laws I wouldn`t of lost mates at the hands of the IRA with their f*cking armalites amongst other things, most countries and terrorist organisations around the globe wouldn`t be f*cking armed in the first place,the Taliban wouldn`t be f*cking killing our brothers, Al Queda would be a joke, which would lead to less weapons making it onto the streets at home, where WE (all of us on here and brothers around the globe) try and come to peace with the shit we have done, seen and commited in the name of f*cking peace and making the world a better place.

Tuppence ain`t enough.

If you carry a gun and are not in a combat enviroment, then you are a dumb f*ck who needs kicking into next week. You wanna be a man, then stand man to man with the twat who thinks he can break into your home and teach the twat that you don`t mess with a Vet.

And stop being the f*cking cowards who need to hide behind a weapon. We are all f*cking better than that.

What the hell did we go to war for. So some sorry ass f*cking idiot who is moaning about his hard life can sleep with a glock or whatever. Sorry not on my stag. I went to f*cking war to bring peace, and not the "freedom" to decide "Ohh Shit i`m having a bad f*cking day, I`ll shoot the next tosser who wants to steal my TV"

It`s a f*cking TV, buy a new one with your insurance money. Instread of Paying it with your conscience

I would rather, be on the town with brothers who can look after themselves, and watch my back, than some one who needs a f*cking gun to be man enough to go take a piss.

My shillings worth.

Well said,

One thing I have also noticed is the bloody news.

Esp here in my hometown. Every second news story is about some crackhead shooting another crackhead.
It gets on my tits as I'm a vet who can easily go over the top by hypervigilance. Do I really need the news media and them sensationalizing every f*cking moron who shoots his own face off by cleaning his gun without clearing and making safe.

Canada, it's about as easy to get any hand gun illegally for 300-800 quid... depending on what you want.

To purchase a restricted firearm is a process which involves testing, background checks, references the whole 9.
And once you get it you MUST store your weapon properly; safety lock and stored in a locked box, ammo stored separate... and I mean separate. No loaded mags. So if I were to stop in an intruder by shooting him w my legally registered restrictive firearm...it would take 10-15 mins. Might as well just grab a bat or golf club.

Blow the poor sod away w an illegal firearm and you wont be getting a pat on the back fr the police.
More like a pat on your ass from your new cell mate and lover.
