We all know you are society's jewel in the crown Henry ;) .....but less guns are a good thing me thinks.

Me thinks you are reading the Sun/Daily Express too much Phil........scaremongering its what its all about....its the Culture of Fear thats getting put across in the media these days........:ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:


My brother had a handgun pushed into his face and had a large sum of money stolen from him and I've had a shotgun fired at me.

But I suppose it was only media scaremongering.

So you reckon people should be allowed to carry fire arms?

I don't know how it used to be in the UK (I didn't know anything about the UK before 2 years ago), but I can easily see your country following the steps of the USA. Come on tell me you don't want that...

Maybe that's because I'm a scared French bloke but I would be terrified living in a country where any drunk guy can shoot me between the eyes because I would have said something they don't like...

The world is definitely crazy, in some places more than in others.

The way it was is that you had to satisfy you local Chief Constable that you had a legitimate reason for having a gun and you had to keep it secure in your property - the only reasonable excuse was that you were a full member of a licenced gun club and could only use your gun on certified shooting ranges. You could be visited by your local police at any reasonable time and all your security arrangements checked along with an assessment made of your attitude and suitability to retain your licence.

Like America? - only nowerdays I'm afraid :(

Not quite right. I know plenty of people with legal firearms, it's only certain types which are illegal to own, i.e. pistols.

P.S. Only the Navy have guns.we have firearms :lol:
