Who in here wants to own a gun? I know I do.
-
Why would i want to own something that goes BANG and can injure or kill someone ? Im not a sadistic murderer or a nutcase :P
-
Guns DON'T kill people!
-
Sorry, of course guns dont kill, he does:

:P
Nah, i know, its the person who pulls the trigger.
-
Wrong again. BULLETS kill people.
-
If the bullet was just standing on a shelf it wouldnt be killing anyone, though neither would a gun.
-
true. But if I pull a trigger, I fire the gun and that gun releases a bullet that can be lethal but not nessesary.

I did say can in my first post:

having a gun does not mean you have to kill people. What if someone breaks into your house with a gun? The police do not innstantly appear. and i doubt anyone on this forum could take a thief in hand-to-hand combat, even without a gun. Counter that. 8)
-
not even the normal police have guns in the UK

What if somebody breaks in and finds your gun?
-
then you are fucked. but I would keep my gun near me.
-
my friends dad is a class aaa weapins dealer for the government, he has glock in his bedside table drawer
not to mention the safe with the sub-machine guns in his basement
-
Tobi thinks that is very safe to have.
Tobi would rather get shot by a robber than own a gun.
-
Replying to Arb. You got that from Casino Royale. I would take my chances in them not finding a gun, because the common thief is not that smar, and they hurry to take your suff, that is not a priority for them.
-
Eh? Never seen a James Bond movie, hopefully never will. I got it more or less from a conversation I had years ago...
-
Oh sorry, my mistake.
-
Never seen a james bond movie! *gasp*
youve been deprived
-
Owning a gun isn't really necessary unless you are a licensed hunter or a government worker. If guns weren't handed out like party favors to people who don't need them, then you wouldn't have to worry about armed robbers. And people in this forum are probably just as unskilled in hand-to-hand combat as the common thief.
-
unless somebody in here is a karate masterr. but I don't think anybody is.
-
The only problem i have with guns is the lack of gun control here in the US, too many retards with guns who end up accidentally shooting someone, exp: Dick Cheney
-
Have you watched Penn & Teller episode Gun Control? you should. There shouldn't be gun control, because only people who obey it are those who don't shoot people. Criminals don't care, gun control or not they shoot people.

People own automatic guns, and that is illegal, so why would that law stop them.
-
Gun control isnt just about using them, its about controlling how they get the guns, right now anyone could walk into a pawn shop and get a pistol
-
yep, even I could do it. If I had the money. :laugh: :laugh:
-
Please.... don't...
-
don't what?
-
Don't get a gun.
-
I would love to have a gun. I would prefer it to be AvtomatKalashnikova-47. The best gun in the world.
-
maybe at one time, not anymore
-
If people that shoot people are shooting people why would they bother to follow a law that says no guns? Then the death rate will skyrocket because noone can defend themselves.
-
Once a criminal, always a criminal.
-

You realize this defense you speak of would only switch who the victim was, not decrease the death rate?
-
No guns, robber shoots and kills houseowner.
Guns, houseowner may or may not shoot robber, get shot by robber or get shot with own gun by robber.
-

Guns, houseowner may or may not shoot robber, get shot by robber or get shot with own gun by robber.
The odds are the robber will shoot the houseowner first.
-
So then does it make much sense to carry one as a means of self defense?
-
Most robbers would run if someone pulled a gun on them, and i really doubt the robber would find your gun, hes trying to be as fast as possible
-

What? How does saving your own life make you a murderer?
I cant beleive how stupid you sound.
-
well if you kill someone it is either man slaughter or murder, even if you try to save your own life.
-
What? That is not true. What crack are you smoking? Read the constitution!
-
What crack are you smokin! Its either murder or manslaughter
-
Why should I read the constitution of USA?

I was talking about death rate, not who the murderer was.
-

You wont be charged. Take well..., this is a hard one ANYBODY IN THE MILITARY
-
There's different exceptions to homicide. If you kill according to the laws of war, you are excused. If you kill for any other reason, you are subject to investigation and judgment by some authority, even police.
-
If their investigation concludes to you defending your own life you will not be charged.
-
With equal force, and ever there it depends.
-
What? You people are not paying attention very well in school. The CONSTITUTION says you can NOT be charged if the self defense is justified. Meyer who cares if you live in Finland. Arbiter lives in Canada and hes going along with the discussion the way it was intended.
-
Settle down. :-[

I pay attention in school, thank you very much.
I actually went and looked up interpretations of the law and a tad bit of its history when this argument came up and like I said before: you can meet someone with equal force legally, and even there it depends.
-
No matter what you can not be charged with Capitol Punishment if you are defending yourself, maybe jail time, but not death. Take Dog the Bounty Hunter.
-
If someone invades your home and is threatening you, u wont be charged if you shoot them
-
You can be, if he has a knife and you shoot him, you get some nice time in jail.
You can only meet them with equal force, and sometimes even that is called into question.
-
Ahh. Nice to know some people do research. Thanks for the info.
-
Shooting guns is fun though, especially miniguns
-
