No no. Join in. Learn. Self ownership. If I own myself, I can do what I want with myself, like carry a pistol to a bbq at Bondi beach. But if I can't do that (without running the risk of prison etc), do I own myself? If I don't own me, who does own me?

Appreciated. https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/125722-the-state-of-the-union/#comment-1884321

Forget this "everyone" business. I'll pick a name at random from the Bondi dead. You then have to look their widow in the eye and say you're happy they were prevented from carrying. "Everyone" is not some abstract idea. It's a collection of individuals. When you say no to everyone, you say no to any individual. An individual who you don't own and don't deserve to have power over.

A longstanding member sells English Hardwood Charcoal (scrap willow). He doesn't remotely need to. He just loves the con.

None of you tyrants can bring me down anyway. I’m still riding the high I got from freeing off a twenty-year-old hydraulic line in a twat of a place on the steering rack earlier. Three extensions. A moment of brilliance. I’ll sign autographs in due course.

You decide for you. I'll decide for me.

That is a jumble. Nobody have guns - You first, particularly the state. Wild west - It wasn't here a hundred years ago and it's not in any number of countries that allow carry now (CZ and LT spring to mind) Mags - You need more for certain things (cubs for example). Criminals would ignore it and derestrict them anyway Gun type - Guns don't kill people, rappers do. Also on gun type, has anyone ever found the video clip of Mike Yardley with a side by side (2 shots) racing a firearms copper with a big tube semi (probably 8 or 10 shots)? Obviously the copper rattles the first ten off in a second or two but couldn't stuff the tube fast enough. Yardley beat him over a minute.

Would you be so blithe talking to your mates Nathaniel and Zachary who live in Sydney?

I like how you think I might know. I’ve only laid one hedge once. Midland though. Hedgelaying Styles – National Hedgelaying Society WWW.HEDGELAYING.ORG.UK

And probably Mick. Make the list as long as you like. A long list of wrong people is still a list of wrong people.

What if what if what if. What if you tackle him, he wins and now he's buoyed by his victory and decides everyone else is getting it? What if what if what if. The eighty five year old woman from the news article I posted is behind you in the queue. What for her without her gun now? What if what if what if.

Probably because they're worried about looking like gun-toting nutters because that's how the other side of the debate wants to frame them. I'm not worried about that because I know I can debate civilly. And because I'm doing the heavy lifting of arguing my side of the matter anyway (broadly speaking - the argument has more than two sides). The ones that disagree with me, I think are wrong for probably the same reasons I think other people (you, Steven, markie, Matty, Bolam from memory) are wrong. More later. It's an important debate but lunch and my power steering are also important.

I don't wake up shaking with fear that today's the day the kitchen tap might burst. I have a spanner though. There's a difference between being rattling paranoid and keeping a spanner. It's an individual rights thing. I champion your right to wrestle a man in a coffee shop with a screwdriver if you want to. I champion your right to shoot him if you want to. Why won't you respect my right to not want to wrestle him?

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.
-
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.

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?

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

@markieg31 I'm not interested in the US. I'm interested in surviving someone wanting to stick a screwdriver in my stomach in England. Why should anyone be able to tell me, "No. Run the higher risk or we'll put you in prison." Why should a jewish father in Australia have to just hide his wife and kids behind a bin and hope the shooting stops? Some bloke steps round the corner and points his rifle at your children first. He's there with nothing. That's not fair.

For anyone interested in studying the battlefield and coming to their own conclusions on tactics and winning the firefight, I'd suggest google streetview. The girl in orange sandals and the long shirt carries herself with a very agreeable ease.

Good question. Don't know.
