The Clinton gun ban has expired!
hunky_artist:
in all of my travelling and in all the villages, countryside and cities i've been in up and down the length of this country i had NEVER come across ANYBODY who own any kind of firearm.
Nor has anybody I know
I'll modify my original statement. I dont mean nobody has rifles, I mean we as a country dont.
the examples you gave of people with shotguns, are all in the deep countryside, on farms or country estates. .....acres of land with a farmer or estate owner hunting grouse and the like.
the huge majority (and i really do mean majority) of people in this country live in and around cities.... nobody in cities and normal villages has firearms. nobody.
you see why we dont need to teach our kids how to hold guns now?
they're not gonna need it
why can't you accept that no child in normal british existance, apart from those growing up on farms or country estates, needs or ever in their life has access to, a firearm.
when was the last time your kids had access to a blue whale on public land.
oh hang on, thats something you can accept doesn't happen.
accept that this doesnt happen. we live here, you dont

Clearly, you , as a country, do. Several hundred thousand of them.

Yeah? I thought they didnt have any guns.
Change your mind?
you see why we dont need to teach our kids how to hold guns now?
No. I dont. Your country has a significant number of guns, and there isnt any any way to support the argument that your kids will never come across one.
why can't you accept that no child in normal british existance, apart from those growing up on farms or country estates, needs or ever in their life has access to, a firearm.
Lesse... because its not so? Just a few hours ago, you were arguing that no one had guns... now you;re arguing that they're only on estates, etc. Plainly you arent a master of fact, and therefore your assertions are, at best, circumspect.
And you're missing a significant part of the point - "access" isnt "my dad had a gun in the safe". "Access" is "hey!! Look whst I found!!"
The very first time your kid comes home with his head blown off, you'll understand how wrong you were and how right I am.

said the Brit commenting on U.S. weapons pollicies. ::)
You REALLY should hit preview before posting...remember, a shut mouth gathers no foot.
TA, I SOOOO can't believe you passed over that comment FIRST! You are slipping, man! That rationale invalidates any of his comments!

TaPilot,
What the Hell? Who are you? How many kids do you have? What city were you born in? I don't believe that there is any life on Mars. Guns kill. Nobody in the history of mankind has ever managed to kill anyone without a gun. If there were no guns there would be no murder.....EVER. The moon landing was not a fake. Clay pigeons should be illegal.

p.s. I just love to see these jarring replies of TaPilot's where he compulsively responds to EVERY single sentence in the prior post (though, almost comically refrains from using the "quote" feature of the message board). I just figured I'd try to add some liveliness to his posts by giving him some nice sentences to respond to, one-by-one. I'm especially looking forward to his response to "What the hell?" I'm predicting a classic.
