Lol who said zero, I was really curious. There is a gun culture in this country as well, especially with gangs in inner cities.

People come from different countries and cultures and therefore are bound to have different mindsets. I'm not knocking them on their opinion just because it's different to mine and it is actually interesting to note how people view things differently.

The first step to losing every freedom you have in life is losing your right to arm yourself. History proves this thousands of times over. You are a mongoloid of proportions unmatched if you think you are better off without the means to defend yourself and your property should the need ever arise.

Choosing to murder someone can happen with a knife, bleach, or a toaster oven. If you are claiming that it's easier to kill someone with a gun, then I would argue that it's easier to protect yourself with a gun.

In England, if someone breaks into your home, I suppose you grab your bats and knives. Are swords legal?

Are these figures accurate? I looked up crime rates in England.

Not trolling. Are the non - U.S. citizens in this thread upset because we have guns, or are they upset they do not? Surely you don't think we are going to bring our guns to your country and kill you with them.

my opinion is - I'd rather be allowed to have equal-ish force to what outlaws have. "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. I choose to defend myself." - somewhat popular saying.

different mind sets and cultures i guess.

i have no worry or paranoia that i will ever need to defend myself from someone with a gun.
a knife, maybe at a push? it doesnt cross the majority of the population's thoughts here i'd wager.

it is what it is!

Pretty much this.

While I don't agree with the redneck consensus that owning a gun automatically makes you a badass and more of a "man" than anyone unarmed..I do agree banning them is pointless. Tighten your grip, more people will find ways to get at them anyways...unregulated at that. You know...like drugs?

Besides, it IS a defense tool. Not everyone has enough muscle to knock the (likely rather strong) assailant that just hit you, flat on his face in a single hit. Some people need a little more. Some people choose knives, some even choose shit like katanas. Others choose guns.


















Also you won't be complaining about the ability to own firearms when the zombies come, just saying :P

first, he was saying "if you were claiming"

second, he was saying he wasn't trolling, not saying you were trolling or for you to stop trolling.

I think you are being defensive lol
