Lazs
You should become a ventriloquist. You could speak without moving your lips. All you'd have to do is talk out of your arse - you're good at that.
I never said you couldn't talk in any thread; what I did make
abundantly clear in this thread is that I was interested
only in the opinions of non-American folks living outside the US. You're disqualified on both counts.
as for the other people "knowing what you mean" by unrestricted... I beg to differ... you changed in mid stream...
Bollocks. I didn't change at all. I asked a very simple question. And
everyone to whom it was directed understood it perfectly. Seems like of the 40-odd people who replied, you are the
only person who didn't. But that doesn't matter. I wasn't asking you anyway, so no need to discuss that.
your poll is loaded and misleading and you keep changing what you are asking.
More bollocks from Lazs. In point of fact, I asked only two separate questions: I asked my original and
very simple question. After about 24 hours when most people had had a chance to respond, and it was clear that the VAST MAJORITY of folks don't want an unrestricted supply of guns where they live, I asked why they thought that was. I then presented a list of 16 countries represented by those folks. I also answered Tarmac's point. My only other posts have been to refute your BS.
Look, Lazs. You're not in here in search of an "unloaded" poll. The only reason you're in here is because you've got an axe to grind. You can't stand the fact that people from 16 countries can stand up and say NO to an unrestricted supply of guns where they live. So then you have to use semantics to interpret the word "unrestricted" in an attempt to skew the poll. And it's BS. No-one here for a minute thinks I'm asking if the general population should be armed with anti-aircraft guns and/or belt fed machine guns. But the mere suggestion of that from you provides an indication of how desperate you are to force this poll to go according to your own agenda.
also... I am probly one of the few that will respond to your thread (if we use your restrictions) that has any clue about firearms... most of the people who you are "polling" well..... it is like asking monkeys if they think it is better to rent or to buy a tuxedo.
Ah yes, we're almost getting to the point where you start ranting about womanly men, and women's voting rights. I don't think the people from the 16 countries who voted NO in my poll would take kindly to the fact that you're insulting all of them. But then again, as it's you, they might have had a good larf.

As I've said before, you don't need to be a smoker to understand the dangers of tobacco usage, just as you don't need to know anything about guns to understand the folly of doing what America has done in creating a guns free for all.
But, as it happens, we have Curval who, if I read it right, has been a firearms instructor, and farmers like Angus, and FOGOLD (in your thread) who own guns themselves but can see the total folly of guns for all as in the US, and have expressed their views on this BBS.
