Let's say ban all guns in America because they kill people.... isn't guns banned in UK a long time ago? What do muslims use now to kill cause chaos/suffering people in the streets of Londonistan? Vehicles, machetes, acid?
I am a British citizen living in America at the moment, I see that gun owners are the most law abiding and friendliest people in here TBH.
The gun violence you hear about, mostly happen in California and Chicago, these s***holes are the Democrat infested places where they are strict on guns, even buying ammunition, they require a valid I.D. and yet, the criminals still acquire guns.
But you never hear about the guy who used a gun to protect himself, and most recently, a good guy with a gun who saved a police officer by shooting at the criminal in Arizona.
Speaking of California, Robbie Williams (correction: Robin Williams) didn't own a gun, but he still killed himself with a rope... wanna ban ropes now?
There is also a correlation between suicide and taking anti depressants, but that is another topic for another day.
These are some of my toys:
Fair point, I'd forgotten about the (relatively new) AWC in Scotland. But, as I understand it, it's just a very simple licencing system that they now have there, it means that people have to buy a licence but the licencing system doesn't seem to actually restrict ownership.
Although different police forces do tend to interpret to rules in their own ways, the differences are really about economics and space rather than police forces. For example tomorrow (as always) I'll be off clay shooting - 10 miles each way to the farm where it's held, £18 for the club and £19 for the cartridges which, for 100 shots, is a pretty cheap hobby. I do that twice a week in the winter, 3 or 4times a week in the summer and it's easily affordable, if it wasn't then I wouldn't be able to get through at least 10,000 cartridges every year... But in London, with very few shooting grounds and very high prices, it costs a fortune. And for rifle shooting, I have my own farm. When I was living in London I had to travel to Bisley, which is very expensive.
Yes he was and I think he said his biggest regret being unable to make change. The yanks will never get put of this mode they have far to many guns in circulation now to ever be reeled in. Unfortunately we just need to let them get on with it. At least most of the gun crime is amongst the areas of their society that is generally involved in crime related matters.
I never said you are wrong, I said it's hard to believe...
Thank you for the warm welcome
They are NOT. Owning one, I would be breaking the law. And "AR" stands for Armalite Rifle, not Assault Rifle.
My AR15's have single or Semi Auto capability. The so called Assault rifles used by the military have AUTOMAtic capability.
People might have heard of guns easily ordered on the internet.
It is true guns can be ordered on the internet by a civilian within the US, but the guns will NOT be delivered to your house. The gun will be delivered to a FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer, and you would have to go to them and fill out the form. Before you can have the gun, the FFL dealer will check your info's and will call FBI in front of you to let them check your records. If you have a criminal record, even domestic violence (I think), that's it, you can drool all you want, and say bye bye gun...
Why do some people order guns from the internet?
Sometimes the gun you want is out of stock from teh local gun store,
Some people (like myself) want to avoid paying state taxes.... just like folks in UK ordering camera/lenses from DigitalRev to avoid tax.
Anyway, people will always have different opinions about guns. I don't care what people say, but as long as I can legally own and use guns, I will do so... a right I unexpectedly am enjoying here which i was not able to in UK.
Have a nice day folks, happy shooting, whatever you shoot with ( Canon Vs Nikon ?) !!!
