Thread: Whats your opinion on automatic weapons?

Mick, So you're going for the wild west shootouts approach, as law abiding citizens crouch behind waterbarrels and upturned wagons shooting it out with the baddies?

[what, is everybody leaving now?]

Mick

I think your buddy is fine. The main reason I got so worked up about this is that a 3 month old baby was killed in cold blood.... I think ill stay! Too many are leaving!

Not so much wild west shootout Carl. More a cool collected individual with a well placed double tap.

Parker, I think Steph should be fine given the odds, but I would still like to hear it from the man himself. I don't blame you for being worked up over this event. I am too. I hate it when people do this sort of thing.

So what the prob with that? Rum in the coffee time...

Straightrazorheaven,

Your info is a 5x higher gun crime in the US than the UK. Am I correct in the population of the USA being close to 5x the population of the UK? 310ish million to 63ish million?
Which means it's about par. And if the USA and UK have equal percentages of gun crime while the USA has almost 100 million guns in circulation ...

I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this. It's almost 2am and I'm sleepy.

I understand that!
And yes, It angers me as well
Parker

The 5x increase is per 100,000, so it is a crime RATE not absolute crime. It accounts for differing population.

Now, see the term 'double tap' awakened the soldier in me. Me and my son went for a walk in a forest near here today. He wanted to walk through a forest bare foot. He's doing a fitness instructor course, is very fit, a full blown hippy and at least as weird as his father. He's adamant we should walk bare foot, and we should toughen up our feet. He walked 3 ks back to the car without shoes. He noted he was also silent. I told him when I became a partisan, I would make him my lead scout. I'm saying this because we all want to protect. I guess as a pacifist ex soldier there's a fair degree of conflict within the being named 'Carl'...
