dude, go back there if you want to own a shedload of firearms. if i want to smoke pot all day i'll move to holland. if i wanted to be teetotal i'd move to the UAE.

Another BNP advocate.. sorry, I need to be here and contribute to your welfare society by offering my specialised work skills, paying taxes also to pay a lot of our fellow citizen who live off the state.. I dunno if this "you don't like it? You go back where you came from!" is because of the keyboard hero syndrome or because you really think so, well if you do you're not thinking in a democratic way. Where do you live exactly? In the countryside or in a big city? Pot is all over the place, fortunately illegal firearms aren't.
Again, I can still own and shoot most firearms here, so I don't see what you're on about

also, ftr, the politicians acted after people with licensed firearms went mental and killed dozens of people. this is when you could own firearms if you wanted, so you can't even say that is why people died - because no one else was armed to intervene.
|
"people that went mental" was 4 cases in god knows how many years, the fault is not only of the killers, but of the system with which you assign licenses here, there is not a proper psychological assessment. After it happened now the Police shows up at your place and checks on you and the way you store your firearms. It's always
after that they adjust things, there is no pro-active thinking. As for why nobody else intervened, read about the scenarios and times when this was done, don't blurt out sentences that you think will go in favour of your argument.
Again, another uninformed sheep that wants to win an argument with nothing.

hmm.
not sure you're quite aware of the changes tbh.
it used to be that you could defend yourself with whatever came to hand, and as long as they a. didn't have their back to you fleeing, and b. you hadn't ejected them from your property and then gone back inside for the first thing that came to hand. if you either killed or injured them, and neither a. nor b. was the case, it was classed as self defence.
now you can have a baseball bat or whatever by your bed with the express purpose of defending yourself. a. and b. still apply.

nope, you would get arrested if you killed the guy or wounded him (cos yes, he could sue you for assault and say "I entered cos the door was open"), again, read your things better. Remember the Indian family in Birmingham who attacked the intruder with a cricket bat?

it is something that happened 70 years ago which we recreate with pixels. not sure quite what your point is.

there you go, denial. Why you think they're putting age ratings on games? Do you think it's morally correct to play games about crime? Or let children play with it? You need to be able to discern from reality and fiction, but some people cant, getting more and more de-sensibilised in front of death and destruction.
Think of GTA series, is that a "good" game? And what if they made a game about rape or paedophilia? would that be ok cos it's only pixels? It should, since you think that homicide is ok if it's a videogame..

seems you're off on it as well. the british public called for handguns and assault weapons to be banned. democracy in action, pretty much.
|
the British public was
brainwashed cos it was convenient to the Government. You really don't get it do you? They don't trust you, they don't want you to be armed, there's cameras everywhere, but they're not there to
prevent crime, they're there to gather evidence. It's all an
illusion, and the unpredictability of the recent riots shows what could happen.

you have a right to exercise your hobbies where they do not contravene the law, nor spirit of the law of the land.

My hobbies don't contravene the law nor the spirit of the country, but then we're talking about a country where regularly some extremists burn poppies (symbol of all the fallen soldiers here in the UK) and your flags on the streets and you don't do anything about it.. it really boggles my mind!
Quote:
and then to cap it all you start calling people 12 year olds, whilst simultaneously missing the difference between playing make believe pew pew computer games... and actually shooting someone dead.
jesus.
given your display here, i'm damn glad they restrict your access to firearms.
|
You, being raised as a selfish individual who follows the flock, think there's no difference between the message given by a videogame and real life, because it's convenient to
you, just like the way people get driving licenses here, it's a case of "hey, I
need a car" not "hey, driving a car is a responsibility, maybe we should be stricter about it"..
Uh and btw sorry to disappoint, I still have access to firearms, and potentially I could bring most of my own collection here too, if you're not happy about it, talk to your Government..
