That is the whole point, you could not stop the bombs, why not? aren't there laws against this sort of thing?
if as you say, you couldn't stop the bombs well then you need more bomb control laws? (see how silly this logic sounds?) wow your arrogance is amazing.
How come in America we don't have bombing like in London, are the US of A's laws against bombing stronger or something??
see how silly and arrogant this sounds? amazing!!

Your point made no sense in context to this thread mate.
And quite frankly, if you are going to finish a post with a sentence that is so ignorant and ridiculous that it is actually insulting then as far as I am concerned your opinion is something I wish to have nothing to do with.edit on 22/12/2012 by Kryties because: (no reason given)

'hehe'? Clearly you're not thinking about this as an adult, just a child imagining playing with toys. Do you imagine yourself on top of a jeep with a minigun or something? If I ever have to use a shotgun in self defence and three shots (the standard non-license holding amount) is insufficient then I don't think any weapon is going to save me.

and far as insulting, you can go back and see several posts of yours, that do the same thing.

I really don't see what is so bloody wrong with taking a deeper look at the issue and whether or not it is a valid excuse for Americans to be able to buy machine guns in Walmart. I never said ANYTHING about banning guns outright, just using a little common bloody sense and controlling the issue so some nutjob doesn't grab a machine gun and blow away a cinema, or a classroom, or a lecture theatre........

Do you live in America? Then your safety is entirely dictated by your government. From their regulation of consumer goods to their regulation of air travel. They're what protects you from aggressive nations and corporations alike. Do you really think as civilians you'd be able to defeat even the UK for an example? We have warships and modern generation bombers, ICBMs and nuclear weapons. Without your army a civilian militia poses no significant threat.
I agree your ICBM against my rifle is a win for you....lol
You say these things as Governments continue to reduce their militaries. US military is the smallest it has been in 100 years and after Afghanistan is done it will get smaller while China maintains a 600 million strong call up army. Do you think Europe could handle a Chinese invasion, do you think the human race is past such events? What would happen in America if the Chinese invaded and not only faced our smaller army but a civilian population with a few 100 million guns. If the Chinese invaded Europe it would be a repeat of Germany's march from town to town with little or no resistance.
Internal and external wars are not over with and people can be sheep or wolves as it is their choice, and it is obvious the choice that England has made.

Precisely why did you mention bombs at all then if not in reference to guns preventing bombing? I even asked you that before and you never answered - leaving me to believe that is what you meant. Your fault, not mine.

again, Citation please, which gun show sells "machine guns" do you know the nomenclature of which you even speak??
an automatic weapon is one that you pull the trigger once and it fires multiple rounds ( common name "machine gun")
a semi automatic weapon fires one round each time the trigger is fired..
do you even own a weapon, or have you ever handled a weapon??
if you can't even get what it is you want to ban correctly why would anyone pay any attention to your opinion in the first place?
