Guns Because

[SteveB]

Save that for PMs, isn't that right?

Eh?

[SteveB]

Yep.

[Pappa]

Yep.

Are you referring to me PMing you?

[SteveB]

Yes, and that veiled bell end comment in the anonymous thread. You were wrong.

Hey, I was just trying to offer you some advice. Well needed advice IMO. I find it a tad weird that you're still nursing that gripe.

[SteveB]

I just found your post highly ironic, given the way you do things.

It was really bad advice, by the way. Not conducive to the facts. I met my cousin twice or maybe three times, so I know her like the back of my hand.

Don't PM me, nor anyone else.

[Pappa]

Whatever.

It's still an undeniable fact that every gun owner is a potential murderer.

pfttt, I'm a potential murderer and I don't own a gun... sticks, bokkens, baseball bats, hammers, knives, but no guns.

Thank Darwin you don't have an American-style arsenal - Paris would be a bloodbath!

Indeed, you can't even count all the aggravated assault convictions I have to my name.

Although I suspect you're being facetious, and you can't count them because the actual number is zero, I do have to say that if you are NOT being facetious and you DO have a habit of unlawfully assaulting people with weapons, then it's high time someone legally armed with a handgun puts you out of society's misery, as a matter of public sanitation.

And I must also point out that someone in France who has such a record and hasn't been shot dead by one of his victims is able to go on victimizing people with impunity precisely BECAUSE France does not allow its citizens to be lawfully armed for self defense against such violent criminals.

In 40 states in the US, people who make a habit of attacking people with weapons on a regular basis stand a fair chance of having their crime sprees ended permanently and with emphasis, as is right and just. And violent criminals know it, and find other occupations much more often than they do in places like France, where they don't have to sweat getting blown away by the next little old lady whose pension money they try to steal.

Thus, more guns, less crime.

Very true.

Like a soldier or a cop, criminals know what they're "signing up for" so to speak. You are playing with your life. If you're not prepared to risk death or serious injury, you shouldn't be any of those three things.

Of the three, criminal is potentially the most rewarding - if you're good at it. I'm surprised there aren't more criminals than cops or soldiers.

There are, in places like the UK.

Around here we cull the herd to keep them manageable.

In Melbourne, in recent years, a fair proportion of the murders have been criminals shooting other criminals. One of the hazards of the profession...

What?! That's impossible! You're lying! There are no firearms murders in Australia because it has strict gun control laws....oh, wait, never mind...
