Gun Control

[Dave]

This guy was a big believer in gun control.

This is how it goes here and works quite well.

but what about hunters? do they not have any right to possess a weapon?

and before vegans and vegetarians say no,hunting is cruel and horrible, last time i check it was not illegal to eat meat.

and i am playing devils advocate here.

And it's a very silly comparison.

vegetarian too.

And it's a very silly comparison.

how is it silly? i am simple asking what about those who hunt? they should not be allowed to own guns?

He was a vegetarian too, neither of which makes him a good person (or a good Morrissey fan ).

I had a conversation with a friend of mine from Glasgow who was entering the policy academy and he said the same thing; that knives are the even deadlier weapon.

The thing is the bad people would still always get guns as they do here in the uk. Its knife crime thats gone haywire in the uk total madness.

Only if it is regulated.

 

[Dave]

Only if it is regulated.

I will regulate it.

 

[jesuisbryony]

vegetarian too.

He wasn't vegetarian out of choice, it was some digestive problem he had. I'm sure he was all for killing animals.

Oh and in words of Bill Bailey "Vegetarianism - very, very good but in some extreme cases can lead to genocide."

See, this is what I would prefer. I would love to have it this way. We wouldn't have to worry about other people having guns as much, rendering owning one yourself pointless. But until then...

I'd definitely suport an outright ban on guns, but to be perfectly honest, if they passed a law making guns illegal for everyone but police.... in the short term I'd feel much, much, LESS safe. The law abiding people would turn theirs in, but the gang-bangers wouldn't. In the long run I do think we'd be safer, but for a while until they got most of the illegal guns out of circulation it wouldn't be as rosy as a lot of people think.

Yeah but the only way to combat that is through education, the state can't ban knives (I'm not suggesting that anyone would propose that) because knifes have several uses. Guns don't have any other use other than to kill things.

And to answer the initial question, passionately anti-guns

 

[jamescagney]

Okay, good, let me reword it: no guns, only for the armed forces and law enforcement bodies, seeing that we can't avoid that.

Those are exactly the people who probably shouldn't be allowed to have guns.

 

[PUNKturedBIKE]

Well, i don't really believe that stricter laws will iradicate the problem of street violence. If people don't have respect for another's life, how can they have respect for their own? Imprisonment for life or the death penalty probably doesn't mean much until maybe you get there and have the gravitas needed to understand.
I live in a county run by ex public school boys and this shit scares them, i hear they are looking for a New Austraila.

vegetarian too.

Actually, people THOUGHT that, but he was a fan of sausages.

 

[oye terence]

Only if it is regulated.

haha then it would not be a no,but a yes with strict laws and regulations.

He wasn't vegetarian out of choice, it was some digestive problem he had. I'm sure he was all for killing animals.

Oh and in words of Bill Bailey "Vegetarianism - very, very good but in some extreme cases can lead to genocide."

he actually thought eating meat was disgusting. he said it was "like eating a corpse."

he did not like hunters:

"Personally, I cannot see what possible pleasure can be derived from shooting. … I have never fired at a hare in my life. I am neither poacher nor sportsman. …[But] if I excluded poachers from the Party, we should lose the support of entire districts."

I have a friend who says his dad is vegetarian, he eats fish though. So I tell him "He's not a vegetarian-he's a pescetarian", but then he said "He eats sausages sometimes"

Anyway, anything to make him look good, eh? That's the reason they called themselves "Nationalist Socialists", so they could beat the communist party! It doesn't really matter whether he was or wasn't, but I just thought he wasn't!

 

[Dave]

He liked cocaine. and he did like sausages, but not the breakfast kind.

Surely, you mean dinner sausages were prefered? I didn't know he was a coke-head, but I heard that he was addicted to cake.. used to have it all over his face in the bunker!
