Animal, go to your room with no dinner for thinking the SA-80 is cool.  Ever wonder why the SAS use M16 and M4?  SA-80 is a piece of junk.

Besides the fact that there is no way to show that your statement is true, what I was refering to was the constitutional debate over the interpretation of the 2nd amendment.

But please expand on how my "right to bear arms" has maintained my right to gather and speak freely.

why does everyone always seem to focus on the isolated instances of firearm accidents that occasionally occur? Lets think about the positive aspects of firearm ownership for a moment.

There seems to be a certain feeling of security that comes from knowing you can defend your home with lethal force if necessary.

Imagine an alarm system that gave silent warning to the sleeping occupants of the house. It could wake you up, giving you ample time to load your weapon before the burglar gets near your bedroom. Silently creeping through the house in slippers and wearing a robe, you can ambush the burlar when he turns the corner into the hallway.

A .22 revolver will do if big guns are scary. You just point it at the face of the intruder and let er rip. One 22 round might not be too bad, but I bet 6 in a row could hurt someone.

I don't think we are concentrating on the isolated accident, N1kPaz.  I think we are cocentrating on the relatively vast number of assaults and murders, using firearms, in the US.

Has anybody forwarded this thread to the French yet? No doubt they'd surrender and Anamal would be named Grand Pierre.

I've been there many times. I enjoyed each visit. Like any major city, it has places I wouldn't go in daylight, let alone after dark.

Note you concentrate on London only, which has always attracted the most violent types for many years.


So you're saying that since the confiscation in February of '98 that violent crime has only increased in London? The rest of the country hasn't seen a significant increase?

In terms of showing any kind of trend as a consequence of the banning of handguns I think it's far too early to tell either way.


Well...three years post-confiscation and the violent crime rate is up each year... seems to be a bit of a correlation rather than an abberation to me. After all, you pick up all the guns (or even just register them), you'd expect violent crime to go down right? That's what all the anti-gunners "sell" their registration/confiscation platforms on anyway. So far... not happening. It's not happening in Australia either, IIRC, since they confiscated.

Gun ownership levels in the UK in the nineties weren't high enough for banning to have any significant impact on firearm crime.

The handgun ban was simply a knee-jerk reaction to Dunblane.

Legaly bought guns weren't a significant problem in the UK, because unlike the US, they were registered. You couldn't sell a gun without transfering ownership to another licenced owner, so there was always a track on where a particular gun went.

The rise in crime in the UK (and yes, the rises are worst in London) has more to do with the lower numbers of police, the constraints placed on the police, and the very poor clear-up rate for crime.

Even then, then murder rate in London is a third that of New York, and abouth one fifteenth that of Washington DC.
