So you have 30 guns. 2 questions:Quote:

I don't think he means he carries all 3 at the same time. Options :-)Quote:

And you don't need to show a gun to stop someone battering their GF. I find a can of Spesh in a plastic bag works just as well. Dealt with two muggers on the South Circular by Brixton Hill who threatened me with a knife using that. I was coming back from the offie and had a four-pack in my bag. "Your knife has a range of a few inches beyond your arm, mate. My Spesh in a bag adds over a foot to my range and if it connects with your head, I'll floor you. So I suggest you feck off back up the hill."
You like guns, I like Spesh. To quote Danny the drug dealer in Withnail & I "Why trust one drug and not the other? That's politics, innit?"
2 on the bench. Depth :-)Quote:

Ah, gotcha. So it is like girls and shoes.Quote:

Of course. But you have to bear in mind that you would think that. You're British. I've never even held a gun. They are completely alien to our way of life.Quote:

It's a conversation between two different realities. I am far happier with ours, but I don't have to live in theirs.
You are of course correct about the dysfunction in their politics. But we are hardly in a place to criticise that. Look at that ****ing bull**** in London at the weekend.
Knives, hammers, etc. It's not the gun that kills people, it's the person pulling the trigger. Unfortunately, with a larger population you will have more lunatics. Thing is 20 years ago, these nutters would have been locked up or not allowed to be such entitled bitches that think the world owes them a ****ing favour.Quote:

Do you reckon one of his guns is like Noni and after carrying that one for a few weeks, he then wonders how he'll still be able to carry it when his B gun gets back from the menders?Quote:

Genuine question - are they allowed to own field artillery? I mean, they have these bump stocks that turns a semi-automatic rifle into what's effectively a machine gun. That nutter used that when he killed about 50 people at a gig in Vegas. It would be safer for the Yanks if they banned the bump stocks and allowed them to have field artillery pieces instead. You wouldn't be able to get it up in the hotel lift for a start, so they'd have to start their killing sprees from the car park which would make it easier for the cops to catch them. It would be harder to load one single-handedly in a school corridor as well. Give the kids more time to leg it. And it would have a greater chance of taking out an Apache gunship full of redcoats than an AR15 would.
I am a fan of the old cannon, civil war era....Quote:
