Makes you wonder why terrorists are still trying to get on planes and not raiding their local gun and beer store.

Because the people running the gun store have guns?

Define "military grade weaponry".



Just about everything these guys touch.

Detroit? Didn't you said that you had lived outside of the US?


And your point is?


My point? You characterised "the rest of the world" like this:

Quote:
The rest of the world? Let me see what I remember from my 33 years of living outside the US:

* Steel windows.
* Steel doors.
* 8 foot tall fence (including front patio) with barbed wire on top.
* Steel gates on all windows and doors.
* Steel cages for the air conditioner units.
* Reinforced concrete (no cinder blocks), even for the roof.
* Despite all defenses, still had the home invaded twice... with all the family inside.
* Cars robbed from inside the garage, 5 times.
* Home burglarized, 12 times.
* Robbed/Mugged while entering/exiting the neighborhood, over 20 times.
* Stabbed... once
* Shoot at... lost count

Hum... I think I'll rather stay in gun-lovin' Florida... with my glass windows, my dry-walls and mah guns.


As i happen to live in "the rest fo the wold" and what you say doesn't apllies to my neck of the woods, and also as my country is way safer than the USA, I am wondering where did you live and why do you pretend that your experience depicts the real world outside of the USA and not some godforgotten crime ridden country.

No no no... your point is that you trolled the USA and when I trolled you back you got butthurt.

The "rest of the world" is a pretty big place. Some locations are safer than USA and some are not. USA itself is rather big. Some parts are safe some aren't.

About your own "neck of the woods", I'm sure you have your share of crime.

I've been watching some of the related videos about this guys and they're hilarious in an awkward way... the turret on top of a SUV, firing at targets with planted explosives completely killed me... Lol

And you sitll hide from us the truth about your experiences outside of the US and why you pretend to characteise the world through them.

OMG the butthurt is strong with this one...

Dude... read the thread again. My point is that when you restrict civilian gun ownership, crime rises because criminals know you don't have guns. I've lived on places with many gun restrictions and this is usually the end result. If you want to have a discussion about it, feel free to list countries, along with their gun laws and their crime rates.

Crime in the UK has fallen for the past 2 decades. So long as you dont live in the poor parts of london, Birmingham or Manchester you should be ok.

Oh and all of Glasgow, they beat up terrorists on fire with fire extingishers.

Hey aren't guns and ammo and all weapons illegal in Mexico?

Look what happens there, the crime rate sure is low. Hell, they even let people go outside after it gets dark.
Makes you just wanna run up to the police officers and tell them how good of a job they're doing.

I read a book recently of how at a certain camp we all read about in history, a bunch of people fresh off the train saw a truck roll by with a pile of dead bodies on it, and the people STILL marched to the gas chambers.


Meanwhile, some questions about what kind of adult-sized children we have become.

Of course we're a great community just as long as you don't go here, here, here, here, here, here, or there.

So what happens if you do live in these poor districts?

I googled and The Telegraph said:

"The United Kingdom is the violent crime capital of Europe and has one of the highest rates of violence in the world, worse even than America, according to new research."

This is no killer

I have met killers - people who would shoot up a crowd and enjoy it if you paid them enough. This is not one of them.

He's a patsy, and the official line of "lone gunman" is starting to have as much credibility as Fast & Furious.

it's simple. hunting rifles and shotguns are for hunting, pistols and shotguns are for defense against individuals, and "military-grade weaponry" is for defense against the government. hell, if the founding fathers had it their way, there would be local militias all over the place. guns don't kill people. they're just tools.

Nope, "military-grade" weaponry isn't for self-defense against the government, it's for the affluent minority to defend themselves from the masses of the poor.

In most of the US, schools get their money from property taxes. End result is that schools in poor areas get little funding, which results in poorly educated people who can't get good jobs and thus can't increase the value of the property in their neighborhoods which leads to less money for schools, which makes the schools worse, etc. etc. Basically it perpetuates failure. Normally I wouldn't care if you can't afford to educate your kids, however, sex is free, and at the current rate, my concern is that the masses of the poor will overwhelm our societal institutions.

In short, the poor tend to have a lot of kids, poor kids aren't getting the education they need to break the cycle of poverty, therefore I will need an AR-15 will a large clip to defend myself in the coming revolution/societal collapse.


tl;dr I can afford an AR-15 with a large capacity magazine to combat the waves of the poor with their cheap short-range handguns. It also helps that a lot of the poor are diabetic which means they'll also have poor eyesight and thus poor aim.


For those who don't believe this is a problem, I refer you to the statistic that "50% of US households don't pay federal income tax! That's 50% who don't pay their fair share!" It turns out that half of that 50% make ~17,000 dollars or less and the remaining half make less than ~33,000 dollars. The poverty level is ~23,000 dollars. The 50% don't pay federal income tax because they can't afford the basics or can barely afford the basics.
