All Activity

Fortunately for me, I live in a world, both a physical and mentally, where I am not worried about hypothetical worst case scenario events taking place. I don’t spend my time ‘ imagining’ such things being all around me at all times either, that would be immensely draining and unnecessary brain activity.

There are many gun owners on here, some of them will have had handguns before the ban, probably not happy about it, yet I don’t think any of them have agreed with you about allowing the general public in the UK to arm themselves with handguns, why do you think that is?

If no one had a gun then there would be no one shot If a tiny portion of people had a gun then there would be a tiny portion of murderers with guns. If we all had guns then the fights outside the pub on a Friday night would turn out to be gun fights. Similarly, if all guns had a magazine of say, 25 rounds then the murderers would be able to shoot 25 people before they have to stop, pause, reload and give time for all to escape If all guns only had 2 rounds loaded, then every 2 shots, 12 1/2 times as many pauses would be needed. Cannot see the problem with this since the hunters are highly skilled, only need 1 shot not 25 to kill their target If all gun owners had 2 guns.. with 2 shots each.. then the most they could shoot is 4 rounds before reloading. The issue in Australia isn't illegal guns, the father was authorised to have a gun, able to fire off hundreds of shots in quick succession. The big issue here is the type of guns he was allowed to own and use.

It seems there is a hole at the bottom of the stove that allows the bottom hinge pin to be driven out, thanks to @Kernow Jack who has not been able to post direct: I've just managed to remove this door, it was quite a job though. As I read in the posts above the 2 door hinge pins are each held in place by a short hexagon headed grub screw, which I managed to loosen with a few squirts of WD 40 from the door hingering. however the pins themselves didn't want to move at all. Both the top and the bottom pin had smooth rounded heads which were visible top one looking up and bottom one looking down. I found a round opening underneath the door where I could reach the bottom end of the bottom pin and after a long battle finally managed to hammer this pin out (again using WD 40 liberaly) by first pushng the door up so that top hingering against the top of the stove hedge, then trapping a nailpunch tight between the botom of the bottom pin and a metal block on the floor and then giver the door a few hammer blows down from the top of the door. repeating this procedure lots of time the bottom pin finally was pushed up free from its hold and I could the lower the door free from it top hold.

Tell this woman she should have had the balls to wrestle him. Woman, 85, shoots dead masked intruder while handcuffed to a chair in 'heroic act of self-preservation' NEWS.SKY.COM Christine Jenneiahn, who was at home with her disabled son at the time, was able to drag herself to a bedroom and retrieve her pistol after Derek Condon...

Maybe you're Bruce Lee but I'm not. What about a stanley knife? Do I fck want to hand fight someone with one. I'd run. But if I couldn't run, am I better fighting someone at six inches or six feet? Six feet please. Twenty feet better. Next postcode better still.

Like I say, get in the real world like the rest of us, the one where the chance of someone pointing a gun at you whilst in Costa is slim to none. And let me frank, someone is waving a screwdriver around at you and you haven’t the balls to tackle him and take him down, you haven’t the balls to point a gun and pull the trigger either.

I'll be as scared (and prepared) as I want to be. You do you. But I'd prefer if you didn't trivialise the topic. For 40 people in Sydney, it is currently anything but trivial. They were having a bbq in a theoretically and statistically safe place and suddenly they were being shot at. Put yourself in thier shoes.

They can be as good as you like and as quick as humanly possible but they're not with you every second of the day. Look where you are now. A bloke is standing forty feet away pointing a gun at you. Do you stand a better chance with your own gun or waiting for the police? Will they be there in: 1 second 5 seconds 1 minute 5 minutes Say the Bondi response was 10 minutes (600 seconds). 40 people shot. 545 seconds late for the first person. 15 seconds late for the last person. All late, however late. Your premise is wrong anway. I've shot with armed coppers (normal county police, MOD police and military police). One was capable. The rest were useless. I don't imagine it's any better outside of my sample (probably eight or so). They're government workers. They'll probably be useless.

Decent enough firewood. Quick to grow, quick to season, quick to burn, quick to heat.

You have either been watching too many films or spent too much time in debating clubs at public school, or both. I suggest you get out more into the real world, you might then recognise how completely unnecessary it is to carry a handgun in the UK, if not you will end up like Squaredy, he is too scared to go out after dark for fear of all the ethnic stabbers. FFS.

Sounds good, what are you going to do on the second day? NoPedigree

Nothing will stop violence. We've been braying each other with sticks and jawbones since day dot. People with no regard for the law will be violent with whatever they can get and people who do follow the law will have nothing. You could carry here only a hundred years ago. There was no epidemic of unwanted/unnecessary shootings. At what point do individual rights become eclipsed by group rights? How many people? If individual rights are bricks, at what point does a wall made of bricks cease to be bricks and only be a wall?

Signed a few weeks back. I won’t shoot another woodcock, I’d rather watch them fly past these days.

Yes TTI own them but Milwaukee is based in the US, even if most of the tools are contracted out to China.

Goat willow.

Please put any items in the front garden on the right side of house , preferably near the back gate. Thankyou in advance

Are you actually for real.

Asked Google image search, the list of trees it didn’t mention would be shorter 🤣

That’s why we have very highly trained armed police officers in the UK, with a very efficient reaction speed to these incidents, which are spectacularly rare events.

Agreed - I don’t feel that strongly about guns as I know the reality of anyone having one is very slim. Conversely if owning edc guns etc was legal id have one immediately and so would my wife.

No. Merge them. Everything section 2. Next week, everything deregulated.

I am definitely no expert, but I did successfully rebuild my first B&S v twin last summer. I am a bit unclear about what you have been doing. You but you can strip down a v twin from two directions: 1. underneath the engine you can remove the single crankcase cover. this accesses a large area of sump, oil and the single camshaft, compression release, timed cogs etc. 2. Behind each of the two cylinders. Taking off the two valve covers accesses the valves and rockers etc. Then you can again go behind each of these to get to each of the two heads and pistons where the combustion happens. which route have you taken?

The more people wondering around with weapons the more people who will get hurt id guess. Your idea that allowing people to carry would stop violence doesn't make sense to me. And escalation would occur if everyone carries knifes then people just start carrying guns etc OK so it might save you individually but as a whole it would cause more carnage a ans death Common good v private good or self interest are conflicting.

Some one got flywheels on ebay for £25 and there is a second hand recoil for £30. Doubt they are really genuine? Genuine Stihl MS261C Flywheel X1 | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Price is for one !
