Very patronising, thanks.
Basically I just don't want more lethal weapons in the UK. I'm quite happy with the current laws.
I have kids, It's a personal choice, I've not been swayed by anyone.
I'm not particularly anti gun, just happy with the way things are.

I'm very aware of what the government is trying to do, thanks. They are regulating firearms. I'm not affected by it so I'm not bothered.

Alcohol? Did prohibition not happen in your world?
If you want to see democracy in action try banning Alcohol in the UK...
-Never gonna happen-

Grow a pair sonny? Who do you think you're talking to? That's just offensive and patronising and takes no account of who I am. You are very judgemental.

I wasn't particularly shocked no.
1st time it happend I was in a Post office, I was a customer, armed robbers came in, they had a sawn off, I just did what I was told.

2nd time was an attempted mugging. I didn't get shot, he didn't get my wallet. I think I broke his jaw but I didn't hang around to find out.

What? Are you serious? The reson we are havng this argument is because I posted an opinion that differed to yours. Which you then jumped all over me for! I've been patronised, disrespected, called names, had my intelligence questioned all by you because I dont agree with you. You should read your own advice. You are the very definition of hypocrisy. I never once said you were wrong. I just accept your opinion and carry on with mine.

I don't see why I should have to defend and justify my position on this to someone I don't know. I'm entitled to my opinion.

As for freedom, what freedom? there are 100's of laws you must abide to.
Do we just change or get rid of the ones you don't like? Why not get rid of them all then we'll all be 100% free.

Guns or no Guns is a question of preference, not right and wrong. You have tried to turn it into right and wrong and have been pretty offensive too.

You would not act this way if I was in the room.
