Guns

[Alcoholic9]

its better to have a penis and not use it than have pussy and no penis

Meh whatever.

All I know is if the "shit jumps off" I'll be able to return fire. But hey, maybe you can run up to the guy shooting at you and convince him to put down the gun and fight you like a man.

Wrongo mate, how did this happen? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4713753.stm

oh yea! How True....

Weird.....when did they get guns? Is it all police that carry them?

LOL I must be a bit behind the times.....

What about those cops that shot that bombing suspect in England?

I don't like guns. Pictures tell why.

After the London bombings in the summer, I think it's just in London though.

Just to clear something up. General police in the UK DO NOT carry guns with them when they are working. They have back up police that carry guns but these "trojan units" are only dispatched when is absolutely neccessary such as a kidnapping involving firearms or such like.

Yeah, listen to this man!! It's called Armed Response, not all Police Officers in England carry them!

They have those here and a man died a few weeks ago from getting hit by one by police, so, I guess they're not so good for the body.

Rubber bullets I think would be best.

Yea rubber bullets are probly the best thing....

i dont know if anyone has seen (and its slightly off topic) "the longest yard"?
but there is a riot in the food hall place....so one of the gards simply throws this grenade thing down to where they are all rioting and it explodes and shoots loads of rubber bullets everywhere.....and every single person dives for cover.....lol...i know its a film but i just thought it was pretty cool.

But yea cheers for clearing up who has guns and who doesnt

Sorry but I have to add this old cliche...guns don't kill people, people kill people
much like dicks don't rape people, people rape people.
Sadly, with or without guns, people always have and probably always will kill other people. This is evidenced by the number of prison inmates who are killed with spoons, clubs, fists and feet and even toothbrushes. I like my handgun. I'm not fooled in to thinking I can get to it before a burglar can or that it is a great way to defend my home and hearth. That's not the reason I bought it. I enjoy shooting for sport as in target shooting. I used to hunt with a gun, then switched to bow and arrow. Then I pretty much quit hunting because It's too much like work.
I grew up around guns and was taught to have a great deal of respect for them as well as for the laws. Taking peoples guns away does not do anything to reduce crime. Education reduces crime, incarceration reduces crime, rehabilitation works for some criminals but not for all of them. But it mostly comes down to people who have no respect for life that kill other people. Guns are just a means to an end.
And by the way, some people do hunt with handguns. Most states in the US either consider it legal or have a special season for handgun hunting. I have known people who hunt bears with bow and arrow but would not do it unless they also carried a sidearm, just in case.
