Interesting framing. 

From my perspective, I see the BBC as being mostly right leaning. All that clatter with Corbyn juxtaposed with the Kremlin was no accident. 

They do make some good nature shows though.

Not sure what you mean by Interesting Framing?

 

Enlighten me please, I am just a Northern Monkey.

 

Oh, they make good Nature shit as well.

I edited my post as you added yours: 

"Interesting framing.

There is a huge amount of money behind Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, and more, and it's not their money. 

It is no coincidence that they are all aligned with bilionaire funded disinformation pipelines.

BBC though, they do make some good nature shows, their local and national radio is top drawer, and sports coverage is canny too. "

Alex, I like guns. I like pistols. If I lived in a place where handguns were commonly carried, I'd carry one to level the playing field.

 

In the UK concealable handguns are essentially restricted to police, armed forces and certain RFDs. If you open that up to the public every knife crime becomes a gun crime.

 

Can you tell me the last time a mass shooting was carried out in the UK with a handgun? I'm not aware of any since Dunblane, but i stand to be corrected.

 

 

 

And every potential crime becomes potentially opposed by an armed goodie. Evenly distributed, quiet law enforcers who don't care what you write on twitter but don't want offences against people and property happening where they live.

 

But I don't want to argue that it's better for everybody. I want anyone who says people shouldn't carry to look into the eyes of an unarmed rape victim, mugging victim, violence victim etc and tell them their suffering was for the greater good. My view is built on respect for individuals to conduct their lives how they see fit. Bigger pictures then work themselves out. Unless of course you trust the people who make the rules about this sort of thing currently to decide what's best for everyone everywhere? And trust them to defend you since they've forbidden you from defending yourself.

 

UK shootings. No idea. London, probably one happening now. What does it matter anyway?

You wrote 'what does it matter anyway?' in your reply. You actually wrote that

[AHPP]

Sorry. I've missed your point. Spell it out please.

[tree-fancier123]

He said how many mass shootings in UK- you 

UK shootings. No idea. London, probably one happening now. What does it matter anyway?

 

To me it seemed as though you were not giving any concern at all to the point being made that mass shootings in UK are rare, compared to US.

Mass shootings - it seems like you wouldn't really care if mass shootings started happening frequently here (on a par with US, proportionate to our one fifth population size), as long as people can all carry a gun for self defense thats the most important thing?
