Then I said "here" I meant the United States, not SubSim. Think of it that way and maybe you'll begin to see the connection.

It doesn't matter if it's twice as many or half as many. If the only solution to the gun death problem is to ban all guns (as so many here in the United States claim), then why don't they also claim that only solution for the car death problem is to ban all cars? Goose and Gander?

Do you see the connection now?

I took control and purchased a gun before the control said I could no longer purchase a gun. I replaced the original stock with a tactical adjustable stock and added a tactical light. Then purchased 100 rounds and plan on purchasing more.

Bring on the zombies.

Bacon anyone?

That was indeed a language related problem, my apologies.

I can see the connection, as you put it and I paraphrase, from the American POV.

Consider me on your good side then. She certainly looks formidable with the assault rifle. Dowly has " dibs " on her anyhow as he has said she is his type.

With her red hair and the rifle, I'm wondering if she was the inspiration for the rock group " guns and roses " taking their name

Again, it's a question of accountability and being a responsible gun owner.

Should the parent be held responsible ? In most jurisdictions, sanctions in the form of the filing of criminal charges will most likely be filed for failing to secure the weapon used. It's simple, if you have weapons which are relatively expensive to own, invest the same amount of money to make sure they are secure.

This is a different matter relative to holding a legally authorized gun manufacturer or seller legally responsible for a death or accident once it has left their respective factory or store and beyond their control.
Thanks for the answer

[QUOTE=HunterICX;2384567]Thanks for the answer

You are more than welcome. It was a good question. It's also one the courts have grappled with for some time.

I would, that stuff looks nasty! And lobster for breakfast is just not American!

This is more like it (think of the guns being present, just not in the picture.)

I recall talk of political correctness gone mad in America, and how some university lecturers were advised against mentioning certain subjects for fear of the reaction of the students.

I see what you mean now:
