Gun laws will not work in this country, for only outlaws will have guns. Some only take that at face value, but when analysed, the truth is, there are more illegal (non-registered, non-licensed, non-serial numbered) guns in the street, than those of of us who have legally licensed and registered guns! Therefore, "most" of the gun crime that is reported is to registered guns/owners. If one were to really delve into, and attempt to understand US gun issues, they would find that more gun crime is in the city, and less gun crime in the rural areas. Yet, most cities have gun laws, and rural communities don't. The simple answer to that is, were I park my Benz, my gun is law. Where TL parks his Caddy, his mobile calls the law while he plays bitch to some crack head. And back to topic, when said crack head has pulled his gun, nobody is going to step up with plain street clothes on, and few will intervene if there is a lull in the firing, as in the AZ shooting! Therefore, that 'dude' is the tard in that story! P.S. My memory is fading, did I ever ask what part of Denmark? My bride of 26 years and I were married in Odense.

Re: Norway killings
Nice Felix I did not know that - I live just outside Copenhagen - but I had a girlfriend from Aarup ( just outside Odense ) and my father used to live in Odense in his youth ( looong time ago ).
I agree completely with the analysis of how crime is done in the US - I just find it an easy excuse to say that people need guns because the criminals have them - do you think that criminals in Europe come at us with hammers and knives - ofc they have guns here too - difference is they are not as trigger happy because they don't risk their victim will pull out a shotgun and blow them off the ground. ( I kinda like the charm in being able to defend myself - but I like being alive much more ).

Regarding the events in Norway, it has opened up a scary debate. Many are "seeing his point" regarding this man and his shootings. Basically, though they aren't justifying it, they are tempering his actions by pointing out the racial tension going on in the EU at the moment with their immigration crisis. I think this is a dangerous line of thinking. |

Re: Norway killings
Ironic....they are gonna outlaw gun-looking toys, but the real deal can still be purchased with a license...idiots. And classifying WoW as a "shooter" doesnt make any sense either.

Re: Norway killings
WoW as a shooter? It's not even got the graphics to support that. BTW, working on Rags atm.

Re: Norway killings
Think they targetted wow cuz he played wow "so it must have had something to do with it". Pity they didn't target the shows he watched on TV or the music he listened to.
