Guns don't kill people...people kill people (lawyers, military, carry)

Gun crime is up in Britain. Knife crime too. Go figure.

Wrong, I own several and can load and fire 4 to 5 times a minute and hit what I am aiming at. Lee Emory ain't got a thing on me. A 60 cal or 75 cal round ball ain't nuthin to sneeze at either. My little pea shooter pops out 0.390 round ball fast enough to break the sound barrior.

I have a shotgun and a big dog in my home...better than a handgun any day.

And Islamists who want to stone someone to death will stone someone to death.

What's the common thread here? People.

I agree. Lets ban rocks

Fine. Keep your muzzle loader. Most people are not nearly as efficient.

Ah I tend to stay at home all the time too, so much as i can. I carry a hand gun 24/7 at home since I can't work on big and heavy machines with a shot gun, which I find cumbersum to carry every instant.

It is against the law to carry any loaded long gun in my state in a moving motor vehical, so when I go out I also carry a 2nd hand gun for back up.

I didn't create all the problems of the world, but i am not going to be a very good victim of them either.

Hell if it would do me any good Il'd carry a cop, but most of them are heavier than I am, and I would feel funny laying under a machine on a creeper also laying on a cop.

[quote=hotair2;17363170]This is the oldest argument. The same argument could be made for having a Tank in your back yard. I mean it won't shoot by itself.

Nor is it necessarily illegal to own a tank.

For the same reasons that gun crime will go up in this country as well: the right wing government newly in power is cutting the disenfranchised off at the knee's. There are very strict gun laws still in place in GB so they go after each other with knives. Can you imagine the carnage if they didn't have the tight lock on handguns that they do? Duh... silly me... coming to an American city near you... stay tuned!
