  1. It was also un registered,so changing the gun law didnt effect those ones.
  2. Violent Video games is my guess,also the lack of discipline at home.
  3. From my experience of the free bus service in Seatle,it had become a mobile drug dealer/ homeless camp.
  4. As if in comic reinforcement of my previous post.I am out of this discussion. All the best Mike Hill
  5. Alex Have you carried a pistol on a daily basis for own or others defence? Until you have done so ( I know you have not) ,please stop with the if,if,if.You are coming across as unstable and creepy.
  6. Vending machines Stubby. Feed in you Digital ID,retina scan,pay your £5 admin fee, out pops a SA80! The forces are looking to replace their Rifle ,so what better use than return then to the Tax payer? This is what New Zealand did when it switched to the AUG,$300 bought you a loverly L1A1 SLR. Alas its not 1983 any longer and the gen pops tolerance to firearms is lower and lower.
  7. Alex its not going to happen. "Darren would get Sharron" to buy a gun,Darren would nick it/shoot their kid by accident,hire it to the local yardies before it would end up biffed into the Canal. Every street punk would get some infirm person to buy them a shooter and the streets would become far worse,thats already been covered on here. If the guy who bravely defended the people on the train had a gun then maybe it would have ended sooner,or maybe he would have panicked and mag dumped the lot down a packed carriage killing an maiming even more people.Because the more bullets you have,the more you tend to use. Carrying a pistol is a pain,if its easy enough to carry then its small enough to not be very effective/easy to use.If its a full size pistol then you are constantly aware of it and trying all the time to not expose it,I cant imagine having to ride the tube for example with a pistol in my wasteband,holding onto the overhead rail hoping some nutter wasnt going to make a grab for it.
  8. A million years ago when Husky released their first top handle,they went around giving them out. Shortly after a Stihl rep turned up after work and over a few beers asked us at Baumdienst Junge what improvements that could be made to the 020. Grippy handles :Nein if its too slippy you should stop work. sawdust chute : Nein use it vertically if the wind blows bigger fuel tank: Nein spoils ze balance More power: Nein. Use ze groß sage In short it was perfect and we didn't know that.
  9. Alex I think that allowing woman to go around armed,will result in woman being raped at gunpoint,their weapons falling into criminal hands and the UK becoming more lawless. Its not South Africa. The law would have to be rewritten ,you know much more about this than me. Currently all Sec5 has to be approved by the home secretary and for that law to be only applicable to females wouldn't fly. You can dream all you want about it,but its simply all that it will ever be.
  10. Here I was ,earnestly hoping you would be lucid by this evening...
  11. This is a very peculiar argument that I dont think is as simple as " let females carry guns in order to keep them safe". I am not picking an argument but stating a fact. I dont know how many people are authorised to carry outside the mil or police but it is a surprising number that has actually grown since the end of " the troubles". According to a gunsmith I know who services people's personal weapons on occasion.
  12. Well.... no government in the United Kingdom has ever revoked the " preservation of life" Section 5 FAC that enables some members of the UK genpop to carry a concealed pistol. Therefore nobody has Alex.
  13. That right there Ladies and Gentlemen, its a contradiction of truly Inter Galactic proportions. You are clearly very dense,or perhaps quite clever ,however Stoned or otherwise medicated. So I am out of this discussion until after work tomorrow when I hope you are either lucid or humiliated
  14. Once again you are failing to see reason,as once again your points or interpretations are indeed unreasonable. I am not against "anyone with a darker skin being kicked out" as an immigrant myself from a country that is officially bi cultural I have grown up with people who's skin is significantly darker than mine. I am talking about terrorists and those who support/ turn a blind eye to them and what can be done to end this relatively recent spate of atrocities. Because I repeat,what ever is being done right now is not working. In order to formulate workable solutions to an existing problem,its generally considered the right idea to copy systems that have found success elsewhere ,not to scream,stamp your feet point fingers and call names.
  15. You are off on the wrong tangent. One of the reasons these attacks occur is the unwillingness of some communities and families to report behaviour that is suspicious or potentially harmful. You are probably never going to change that behaviour willingly especially amongst groups who consider themselves culturally, religiously and ideologically different from the majority in their adopted country. Its a huge problem that not just the UK is facing. One of the solutions might well be a " hard reset".That could encourage people to keep an eye on their own kin, for the ultimate benefit of the entire population. What is happening is a increase in terrorist attacks ,so it its fair to say the " touchy-feely" approach isn't working.
  16. We are not talking about " anyone the government dosnt like" . We are talking about those who have targeted the general public/ children of the UK. Who by their own admission/ ideology in every case thus far are guilty as charged. So when a terrorist carries out an attack upon the population he so despises,then the rational reaction is to imprison the person and deport/imprison the support network/ family. There by removing the tree via its roots. I think that would work.
  17. Your post is entirely dis ingenious. Can you remember when these attacks used to happen all the time? Me neither.
  18. Its not ridiculous. Have a look at the stats in countries that take their internal security seriously. Every victim was innocent until they were killed or maimed by some religious nutter. London bombings,Lee Rigby,Leeds Arena,London Bridge,Doncaster train. Grooming scandle If only there was one common theme between them all? Can anyone much smarter than me help me pin it down?
  19. Yes. If you ignore the risks inside your own family,out you go. These attacks " were always a complete surprise to the family"
  20. As opposed to random people getting stabbed/ blown up/ run over/ raped?
  21. By deporting the terrorists entire families as far down the line as could be traced. To the country/ region their genetics match the most with. Heavy handed? Yes . I bet after only a year or two of this approach things would settle down admirably. The attack could have been prevented by not allowing radical ideology to flourish under the guise of human rights. It never used to be like this did it Bill?
  22. Strange isn't it. Two mass shootings results in sweeping and immediate changes to UK firearms laws,however the dozen mass casually attacks we have seen in the last decade do nothing to change immigration policy. Its abundantly clear that the people of the UK dont mean anything to this Labour government. 10 casualties, probably 100 lives effected and all Keir can do is voice his concern via twitter. What a pathetic response by an equally pathetic individual. My sympathy to the victims and their families in the wake of the latest preventable terrorist attack.
  23. Yes They use mostly peaceful artillery shells.
  24. Was Ian Flatters involved?
  25. Have you considered a career as a trainer?
