uh, that's a safe assumption: you're basically saying that the majority is right. I'm sure you might have heard of Nazi Germany at some point in your life.. I'm surprised I'm even discussing the sense of democracy really, it's obvious I give people's education for granted..

Anyway this isn't an argument about democracy, it's about guns. (you keep wandering off..) TV, Jordan..? again you're in a minority, both are hugely popular (I don't understand why either).

I wander off to give you examples that are more tangible, since you never had a gun or know what it entitles to own/operate one. The fact that Jordan & Co. are popular tells a lot about the cultural level of this country. They're hugely popular among working class, or "chavs" as you like saying here. So if chavs are the majority, shall we leave the ruling of the country in their hands? Let's change the Union Jack to a Burberry one, innit blud?

Like I said, I've come to a decision, I'm happy with the current laws.

That's good for you, but in a
democracy, even minorities have their right to express their opinion. You're thinking more along the lines of an enlightened regime, which is what we're living in at the moment.

I'm 37 by the way.. I told you to shut up because you were being rude..Grow up. I don't agree with you. So what?

..what are you supposed to mean with that? Is it another case of "I don't know how to answer so I'll shout them to STFU". My dear keyboard hero, there was a time when you would be able to make such aggressive statements, bear the consequences of it (most likely a broken nose), then go home and learn from it. Nowadays you'd probably call the police and report the aggression, or do it from a pc, where you know you're safe and can get the worst out with no consequences. You're the frustrated individual, not me. I can live in a world of guns and know how to behave/handle them, you can't simply cos you've been told it's bad (unless it's Northern Ireland, or Afghanistan, or Iraq) and obey like a good sheep.

I don't need to, I'm fine with the possibilities I'm given at the moment.
Once again, your beloved government just had the courage to propose to shut down social networks in case other riots happen.. don't you really see what they're trying to do to your freedom??
