Don't knock it till you've tried it =) |
Yawn...
I don't need to have fired a Bushmaster AR-15 to have a position on gun control.

ahh yes the dangers of screwdrivers. i remember once as a kid i snuck into my dads shed and found a screwdriver laying on the workbench. of course as i was young i didnt understand the TRUE DANGERS and accidentaly dropped the FULLY LOADED screwdriver. the kinetic energy released from me foolishly not having the safety catch on caused it to STREAK from the shed across the garden through double glazing glass the tv and my parents skulls.
i will never forget how dangerous screwdrivers can be.
i am currently campaigning for the legalisation of landmines for personal protection because everyone knows you can get these things on the black market so why bother having them illegal we should let every idiot in the country and their children have easy access to ballistic and explosive weapons.

Yawn...
I don't need to learn history to know that registering->banning guns has always led to a fascist regime.

As far as I know, The United Kingdom has banned guns, and has had them banned for a while too. They still have a democratic Parliament. Perhaps, CK, you should study that history. It comes in handy in the darndest places, like Detnet, when your'e refuting the arguement of an idiot.
TaxMan, you are correct. You have not mentioned banning guns anywhere.
BTW, ever notice in a lot of british crime films that 1/2 the movie is "we need to get a gun"?

I would say arresting someone for selling bannas by the pound instead of by the kilogram is a fair step towards fascism.

Every country has a few stupid laws. For example, Blue laws in the United States. They don't really serve a purpose, but theyr'e still on the books and enforced.

There were guns in Snatch, except that Tommy's didn't work and the two idiots with the big fat guy had replicas.
But Boris always had a working gun, as did the original diamond thieves and Brick Top and Bullet Tooth Tony..
And let's not forget Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels... guns galore with a bunch of people who couldn't use them properly!

well what do you expect its a fucking gangster movie. also both those films are made by the same person, guy richie.
notice how the main charachters could only get hold of the dodgy antique shotguns if you're going to argue like that.

you never have read the tabloids have you CK half that stuff is either made up or altered by the press to make it sound more interesting so it will sell. i go down markets and still see them selling them per pound so its hardly a facist regime.
go watch "the young americans". thats slightly more down to earth with gun crime in britain.
EDIT: and you probably make the key mis-assumption that we want guns in the uk. no-one except criminals and a few odd vigilantes want guns legalised in this country.

It astounds me how blindingly obvious your hypocracy is, yet you do not see it. You and DSL.
Here, you accuse me of preaching out of fiction or propoganda, and simultaneously tell me to go watch a movie to get a better understanding of reality.

The movies were just a suggestion. I like those moves. Movies are not reality. I wanted everyone who read the post to check out those movies because I think they're cool, and they were kind of like a little side-topic.
In short, CK has read things that weren't there again. Instead of countering my arguement, he pointed out that movies are not good analogies. I just wanted to say "LS&2SB and Snatch are cool." I thought they related to this conversation. I had a happy little anecdote going there, dammit. I wasn't saying "LS&2SB and Snatch are reality."
Also, what has DL done? If you're going to attack someone on this forum, don't do it with implications, you pansy.
