we dont allow guns without strict regulations in the uk. and you need to have a reason to own one, self defense is not a reason here.
you can have a shot gun or a rifle. both need a license or you can get a hand gun wich is almost impossible to get a licence for.
I feel quite safe in the uk without guns, i prefer it this way to be honest. i know you can get guns illegaly, even smgs. but thats quite uncommon where i live. i dont want them to be made freely available, we have enough voilence as it is.
Your preaching a lie, I work with many people from the UK as well as my good friend was born and raised their. Although your guns laws are more regulated, many still have guns and crime is just as bad and more violent when it does occurre ( beatings etc ) . My friend just got back from visiting family. I hear about life their all the time. Just because you think your from somewhere that others aren't don't preach to people like they don't know what your UK is all about. Spare us the rhetorical non-sense ...
i have lived all over the uk. i know much more about living here than someone who doesn't, i have been randomly attacked enough times, i have been in plenty of fights, instigated by nothing more than glancing at someone., i have also had knives pulled on me.been chased by a shotgun weilding lunatic,shooting us . where i currently live there is violent crime, i never said it wansn't an issue. but this is about GUN crime, i have never felt unsafe about that('cept that one time). I can defend myself from an unarmed attack one on one. but have never feared being shot or felt really unsafe here.edit on 27-1-2011 by MR BOB because: (no reason given)

What is the difference between "bragging" about different weapons? Someone that can fight just know how to use the body as a weapon. Most gun nuts out there sharpen their tools, just as we sharpen ours. I personally like being ripped and in shape, it feels great. It is also to my advantage to have lots of weapons available, my body, and a few useful external weapons.

I dont think he was referring to people like you..
We do have a big problem in the US with a lot of younger guys who brag about their guns and wanna act gangster.
You just get the feeling some are itching to pull out their piece at any sign of trouble even when it is not warranted.

i'm not sure if you are simply fooling yourself or trying to fool others, either way, it's not working.

Guns have no place in the world now and they will have no place in civilised society in the future
Its all very well and good claiming a Gun is for defensive purposes but they arnt they are an Offensive weapon that should neither be Used or even seen because of the distress they cause, Dont like it? Maybe try making our world a better place that doesnt require firearms.
Guns are for people who arnt powerfull enough to use words to sort thier problems

yep, i've met those boys at the mailbox more than once.
one was silly enough to 'show' me the handle of the piece in his pocket ... then my man stepped out with one of our long guns. The 'neighborly' boy scurried into a passing SUV and hasn't been heard from again.
agreed, in this day, tooooo many ppl are 'itching' in places they ought not be.
