? quoting Spartan

WTF? What is with peoople owning guns that is so bad? As long as they are sane and don't have any serous criminal background I don't see a problem with it. I believe in gun safety but not outlawing them. You make it sound like people who own guns are pyschos or cavemen.

you sound far too angry to be allowed to have one.......

long term sanity is far from guarenteed

ALL criminals had no criminal background at some point

and believe it or not, psychos really DO own guns

if you have no reason for owning something designed to kill, other than, "it's fun to shoot one", well........

Ok I'll admit that did come off as sounding agnry, which wasn't my intention. But it's apparent who is American and who is European. We both have different ideas about weapons.

P.S. Nice job getting the thread back on topic.

I have a temper with a fuse about an inch long. Consequently, we have no fire arms within my home. I also, own no personal knives either, for the same reason.

I am however not against owning them, I still go hunting and such.

I just feel that it would be irresponsible for me to have a gun at my disposal.

I would shoot first, with no regrets. Anyone breaking into my home or some such would hurt as slowly and as horribly as I could arrange for such an affront to my privacy.

I do however have a base ball bat next to my front door, and bedroom door. That way if the criminal finds the first one, we can be even when I bash the living daylights out'a him. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

I should be allowed to own a gun so I can indiscriminately cut down the social underclasses of this fine nation.

Seriously though, I don't really have a problem with weapons. People argue that legalised firearms encourages firearms related crimes - using the United States as an example. Bear in mind (for the Brits) that handguns were perfectly legal until the Dunblane massacre in 1996, and gun crime was virtually unheard of as a real problem.

Gun crime (or knife crime) isn't encouraged by the legal status of weapons - crimes happen for a deeper reason, weapons are just the device to facilitate the crime.

quoting chris rock:
I like guns. if you got a gun then you dont need to work out! you got pecs? I got tecs!

back on topic. the only weapons avaliable to me are my fists. fists seems dangerous enough, they can cause serious damage. when ever i am forced to use violence, though, i see no point in attempting to kill some one. should someone break in to my house i would much rather hit them over the head with a pot than stab them with a knife

although i am not saying it is wrong to own a gun, they are very useful for diffusing a situation. ironically they can be used purely as a psychological weapon so no violence is needed at all

Spoken like someone who hasn't done it yet.

Course, thats probably all of us. I have not shot anyone myself yet either so me saying I could do it without remorse is prolly bulls**t.

I'd probably feel like s**t if I killed someone, even if it was out of self defense.

Unless I was pretending I it was Doom 3.

exactly my point. i know i would be scared s**tless if someone broke into my house, but unless my life or my family's life was at blatant risk i wouldnt want to kill the criminal

jon, thats the only truly reasonable statement posted yet....

its not a natural act to kill someone with a firearm....and to feel no remorse, even in combat.....well, there is a psycosis involved. and you shouldnt have a firearm in the first place....guns are the first true equalizer, even when the playing field shouldnt be equal.....the drive to unequalize the field is where we lose our minds.....

I am chock full of "Bits of wisdom"

Problem is, the bits tend to be so small that few see them except in hindsight.

As far as hurting someone, without a gun, I have done my share and enjoyed every moment of it. I took my share of ass whippins but it was fun.

Sadly, many people need a bit of pain before they see the light of reason.

Nah, it isn't painful unless someone applies weight to your back.

Oh. I guess I should have said "lying face-down on the floor".



For the record, that guy isn't face-down either IMHO. Rather on his head, than on his face. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/evilgrin.gif">
