this isn't even being sarcastic is it? just... woah. Quote:
paved with the bones of those that fell in it's name or in defiance of it. i doubt that anyone that praises benefits, real or perceived, of those colonial days without also recognising the costs as well. if they do they are as myopic and misguided as someone who would compare real gun ownership with owning a computer game that has guns in it. oh wait...

I like how you pick apart everyones posts. I like how you chose to post the most negative review of that book to make a cheap point. I like your fictional story about the white man in Malawi. I have a friend who works for the UN in Malawi, your friend's boss, who completely discredits her. See, I can write a load of balls to. I have recently been introduced to forum terminology. I'm not sure, but maybe you can clear it up. Are you a Troll? |

I find it funny that this is basically an argument about the criteria for gun ownership. Not violence, or Empire or Dead policemen.
You have already pointed out that the Police make mistakes, everyone makes mistakes, at somepoint, somebody who really shouldn't own a gun legally will get one, legally. Should they send a Doctor round every week to every gun owner to assess their mental health? If you relax the rules then there is more chance of the wrong person getting a gun legally. If you want to shoot targets what's wrong with an air rifle? Why do you need a semi automatic? One word.. Power. If it was up to me then anyone who wanted an Assault Rifle should automatically not be allowed to have one, simply for wanting one. There is no need, other than to get your rocks off, ker-pow ker-pow. Look mom, I'm a killing machine. |

The preference over semiauto to bolt action can be driven by different reasons: if, as a gun collector, I want to own and operate a working M1 Garand, I should be able to, simply cos it's not less lethal than a K98 or an SMLE. As for target shooting, an air rifle doesn't have the ballistic properties of a full bore one. There are competitions all over the world for target shooting at long distance, often with vintage or ex military rifles, even to distances up to 1000 metres, how are you supposed to do that? As for the delusional attitude you're joking about, I'm afraid it belongs more to people playing with videogames. People that do "the real deal" (guns, warbirds, tanks etc..) are infinitely more serious and responsible than people that play videogames (or let their children play with them). I don't think we will ever agree on this, and it's a shame, you really don't know what a fantastic discipline you're missing on. Last edited by Sternjaeger II; 09-12-2011 at 10:59 PM. |

I don't care about the responsible gun owners. It's the irresponsible ones that will end up killing someone. But what's the odd death as long as you get to shoot stuff at the weekends? |
