So, whats your arsenal?

[Angus]

Oh, that's a nice link. TY.
Did you check armed robberies and rape too?
Did you notice that the US is on the top of what we used to refer to as the "western" nations, or the first world.
We look at ourselfs as a coutry, so do you. Being that small, just a single murder a year might double the rate. Looks like a high one if you ask me.
No guncrime though. Not even a single wound.
Well, there is space, USA still has 250% the rate.....

And Lazs:
"My guess is that you are young and in fairly good shape. The trap most young men fall for is that they don't see themselves as victims of violent crime because.... well... criminals are cowards for the most part... they go for weaker victims... old, infirm, women, children etc.. You have never felt the fear that these people have felt.

My parents used a handgun to stop what could have been a very bad situation by a very bad man who had no gun. Just not having a gun did not make him helpless against a 77 year old couple tho. He was quite willing to attack them both until the makarov came out."

Young, yes (40 ) and fit, sort of. Don't lock the house, and only take the car keyes out on party weekends. No fear.
(In the Capital you don't do this though.)
And as for your parents, - were they in or out? Well, they were lucky that the punk didn't have a S&W in his pocket.

From Brenjen:
"It all boils down to the old saying, "guns don't kill people, people kill people" A gun is only a tool & is as bad or good as the person using it.

Personally I'd rather be shot than bound at the hands and feet & shoved through a wood chipper...does that mean I would support banning wood chippers? Or locking away psychos that would like to shove me through one? "

Firstly, the bullets kill people (sledge hammer )
Secondly, there is no reason being afraid of people with a wooden chipper in their pocket. Let me guess, you watched Fargo too often?
Thirdly, would you rather prefer bein attacked by some punk sporting a magnum 45, or a punk with nothing than his fists?

Angus, we'd rather be allowed to make that decision... rather than having the decision made for us by government.

Here, we've learned that firearms is the guarantee to free will the hard way.. and won a revolution. The presence of several million guns in the population gives pause to any illegal ursurpation of power over the people, foriegn or domestic. Lastly, For us, punishing the criminal makes more sense than punishing the gun... a mere tool; in itself no more dangerous than a knife or woodchipper.

In some places the local government agrees with us, others it does not. It's a very, very big country (comparatively ).

Regardless, the fact remains.. criminals don't like victims capable of 'equalizing' the situation, and will move on if the prey can defend themseleves.

I'm glad your little country is secure in it's domestic affairs.. sounds like a very beautiful and safe place. It also sounds very vulnerable. You must be very glad the United Nations and Denmark insure your national sovreginity.

Seems to work rather differently in the old 1st world then.
NB, they all have guns, just less. And yet you seem to have more deaths, crime and people in jails. Bugger!

Then:
"Regardless, the fact remains.. criminals don't like victims capable of 'equalizing' the situation, and will move on if the prey can defend themseleves."
So, are you talking about in the streets, or at home? Now here's a thought, any home up here might actually have firearms, you'll never know.
But handguns? nope.
And does the bandit have a gun? 99%+ no.

Finally:
"I'm glad your little country is secure in it's domestic affairs.. sounds like a very beautiful and safe place. It also sounds very vulnerable. You must be very glad the United Nations and Denmark insure your national sovreginity."

A little info.
Safe place yes, but so are many other, as some parts of the USA
Vulnerable? to what?
UN and Denmark? You're joking, you must know that the US was here, but they left the patch they were on. Our independence came without a fight on our side, - the Danes were conquered by the Germans, but the Brits beat them to catch Iceland. So, TY Brits
Maybe that's what you mean by vulnerable. Vulnerable to hostile paratroopers? Well, there is the Police, the Special force (oops, armed and trained worldwide somehow) and our coastguard who actually faced a threat some years back...(funny story)
Would a lot of handguns make it safer?

Lazs do you have to troll in EVERY gun thread?

[Brenjen]

Sweet BGBMAW! I like it, is the stock aftermarket? .308 is my favorite calibre but it easier to lug .223's around; Plus my M-14 weighs as much as both my M-4's put together lol

[lazs2]

angus.. not sure you are getting the point.   Are you saying that if we took away the handguns that our homicide rate would decrease by that amount?   That would make us one of the least violent countries in the world.... less than yours.   Nope... if we got rid of handguns our rate would probly increase...  If your people were allowed to choose.... your rate would not go up.

As for my parents..  it was in their yard.   If the bad guy had a smith and wesson then it woulda been whoever was the better gunfighter I suppose... certainly the old man would not have been better off to NOT have a gun.  

I don't get the arguement... are you saying that if handguns were illegal that the criminals would just say.... "ok.. I better obey the law." ?

or... are you saying that there simply would not be any handguns to be had?

or.... that no criminal would chop up a rifle or shotgun to make it concealable?

for whatever the reason... we have a large group of very violent lawbreakers in our country...  Right now... firearms stop from 1.5 to 3 million crimes a year.   they are worth it to us and... we believe... a human right.

you suck at putting doors on.  why has it scraped a big line on your nice floor?

[Brenjen]

I'm not the one you are asking but, are you talking about the throw rug the dog is sitting on? Or is that a scrape in the linoleum?

[Hangtime]

Looks to me like a FAL clone.. carbine length. Nice folding stock.. who's rear sight is that?

Brenjen.. there's no hiding from a .308  The extra weight is worth it.
