Basically, M1 Garands, M1 carbines, 1903 springfields, etc. No crime that I'm aware of has ever been commited with these rifles.

Yeah right, lets take a famous one from your neck of the woods that made really big news to make you aware.
What gun did little miss Stockholm syndrome rob the bank with?

The odd school shooting, whilst tragic, is not enough to cause that kind of change, but you're right, that's not going to stop the age old battle.

So you whine when there's a bunch of topics on the same subject and you whine when someone tries to keep it to one thread which BTW is already a several thread merge.

Apparently there's just no pleasing you foreigners.

Ignore them August, as they have no bearing on what we want.

They cannot understand certain things, like our attachment to gun, due to the fact they lived all their lives thinking guns were bad.

I lived all my life shooting, and never thought once about turning my gun on a human unless it was in defense of my family. I never wanted to rob anyone, no impulses to murder, yet the legal gun owner is held in the same template as some gang member who buys out of a car trunk.

It is too hard to actually police criminals, they might have to give up the sitting in intersections with thier headlights off to catch speeder ticket revenue, than go after a gangbanger with a gun.

God forbid, they risk their lives, oath or no oath. It is all about the fat pension.

(edit: live one week where I live, I am sure most of you do not have to be careful on what color you wear when walking down the street)

What was the purpose of that?

Other than to mock August, and me, since I believe the same as him on this matter.

Your trollbait failed. You lack understanding on our culture, just as I lack understanding on your silly royal family.

I get killed for mocking your Princess on this board, yet you are allowed to smear our second amendment in the same way.

That's fine, I said that to make you realize we have cultural differences, and what you find rediculous, I can find as many things to find as silly, if not sillier.

No guns in your country, so the tabloids run wild with Duchess stories, and King willy feelgood crap, and how messesd up we are for not being complete tools to the government.

No thank God that's not very likely to happen, apparently much to the chagrin of several foreign members of this forum. You will just have to deal with us talking about it incessantly.

You won't be saying that when the UN are walking down the streets grabbing the gunz.

You should have quit while you were behind. You display that you have no clue what you are talking about again.

They won't let me bring my ar-15, and ak-47 on the plane, otherwise I would try.

No malice intended, just us Americans are hardheaded, you all know that.

We want our rights and have been watching things get yanked away from us, that is why we howl.

You'll talk us all to death before we can take them.

Mostly likely of course not. Different country, different cultural norms. But it doesn't help any of us to be antagonistic about it. (August.. just sayin' man) The best thing we can do is help them understand by laying out our case in a rational manner and not look like the stereotypes that are pushed by the anti-second amendment crowd.

All part of the secret plan.

I was not being malicious I do not think, I pointed out cultural differences.

You find guns silly, I find royal family silly.

You can critisize me on my views, as much as I could yours, culture, which the other cannot understand.

No malice intended, just pointing out how culture and upbringing can change opinions, based on how it effects you personally.

Man if Brits were armed, I bet your government wouldn't try half the crap it did.

If Americans were unarmed they would have done twice the crap to us than they did.

Way off the mark again Soopa.
I like guns, I like shooting, I just find gun nuts silly.
Big difference isn't it.

I am afraid you are making a huge leap of very faulty logic there.
