Gun question for the Brits

[miked10270 0]

You see "a few" pro-gun arguments on this thread, usually from Americans. And "a few" anti-gun arguments - usually from the Brits.

So... A question for the Brit "anti-gun" folk...

(At this point could the pro-gun folk here please leave and study the attached pics of guns I found for you? Thanks)

Right. Now they've gone, the question is: If you moved to the US would you own a firearm? Why?

Personally, If I was resident in the US I'd probably own a firearm.

Resident gun-nut, here (as officially appointed by no one in particular over in The Bonfire).

not going to answer your question as it has no bearing on me, but I have one for you.

Why would you choose to own firearms if you moved to the US? Would you choose to do so anywhere you moved if it were legal, or just here?

edit: feel free to PM me to keep your thread on topic

Ok, I have a question for you. Did you look at the pics?

More than once, but not for too long. (no dead kittens)

You think the second and third pic are the same chick?

I may have to review them again, but 2 and 3 looked similar.

Excellent point. I was somewhat narrow in only referring to the US. Yes. If it was legal and "normal" then I'd certainly own a firearm.

Ideally a couple of BIG firearms

thanks for the pictures. I've already forgotten the questions I'm not supposed to interfere with.

Yes there were. Some of the weapons are massive (like the Bazookas). See attached. Study the pics carefully.

OK... New questions:

1. How many of these posts do I have to make before Tunaplanet finally sees guns?

Or has Tunaplanet gone inexplicably blind (and how could this have happened).

2. Does anyone think that there may be something wrong with the search engine I'm using to find all these pictures of weapons?

Better question is why isn't he concerned about the ban of what he does see?

Inexplicably? Did your momma tell you what happens if you kill too many kittens?

"If you moved to the US would you own a firearm? Why?"

Okay, I spent a little time living in Texas, I didn't own a firearm because I never felt at serious risk.
I felt more insecure on the roads than at home, crazy assed wrong side of the road drivers......

If I lived in a community where I thought that the risk to my personal safety was outweighed by the risk of my son (toddler) being injured by that same firearm, I would abstain.
If I felt that owning the gun was, to my particular circumstances, risk beneficial, I would acquire the weapon, and the skills required to safely and responsibly operate it.

But I'd probably procure a Harley way before a sidearm, or re-assess my circumstances and move.

Nice pics, I'll have a Glock 36 DD please Mike.

Conditional Yes.... but I would keep it at a gun club. I like to shoot (ex-military) but can see no reason to keep one at home.

Yes, if I moved to the US I'd own firearms. But then I own a limited selection of firearms in the UK and used to (back when I didn't live in a bloody city) enjoy shooting on a regular basis.

They'd be owned for recreation, historical and aesthetic reasons though, not for home defence; the same reasons I keep them in this country. They would be kept in a locked gun cabinet when not in use, just as they are kept in this country.

If one day they happened to be of use to me to defend my life or the life of another... well, so be it.

a friend and i used to enjoy weekly handgun target shooting here in the UK before large bore handguns were banned, following the Dunblane shooting, when it was legal to apply for a firearms certificate to hold handguns, as it is in the US.
I still enjoy shooting when i get the chance abroad, but it's not something i actively seek out - i'd rather be jumping, but if it's a bad weather day, then sure, why not.

As for owning one - would depend on a number of factors. If i was living by myself, quite possibly - if not, i would have to take into account whether my partner was happy to have one (she has already said she would not want to have a gun in the house - she is from NYC), whether there were children about etc. I'm not anti gun per se. Shooting can be fun, and it can certainly provide a source of security, but too many guns is just not a good thing, especially when mixed with the volatility of human nature.
