"I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left" - Seasick Steve
I do find it strange how no one raises the issue of gun control anymore when these things occur. Is this because there is no hope? Because you people genuinely think giving guns to the inmates of the Asylum is a good idea? Or are you just bored of discussing the issue?
I don't know, it seems buying cigarettes is harder than buying guns. When you see all these stories about ranomd nutters shooting other random people, surely you'd think the damage would be lessened if they only had knives.
I know it's a cultural thing, I know it's (not) in the constitution, I know the NRA is powerful, but still. Let's face it: Lots of Americans are crazy. Sme are crazy in a good way, but loads are crazy in an unpredictable way. Allowing them to buy guns just seems wrong on so many levels.
Anyway, I'm jsut curious as to why no one talks about this.
Secondly, I read a book called "let's talk about Kevin" which was very intersting, eventhough it was quite distubring. I also saw an interview with the author, talking about the whole "fame" and "attention-seeking" issue with people in the US. And then there was the guy who was friends with the Columbine killers, talking about bullying. It's all linked, undoubtedly. But in the UK, we also have lots of crazy people, lots of violence, lots of fame and attention-addicted people, and lots of bullying. If anyone could legally own a gun, I really think I'd move back to France.
I think a Sling is the most technologically advanced weapon they could pack. Still, those things really hurt.

Also from the BBC, in an article a few years old:
No-one knows how many illegal firearms there are in Britain, although estimates range from between 200,000 to several million. Whatever the true figure, it is said to be growing daily.
I'd start packing anyway, Frenchie.

Of course there are guns everywhere. And in England, they're not hard to find. But there's a huge difference between knowing that carrying a gun is ok, and knowing that you might go to jail just for carrying one.
And of course, I'm not naive enough to think that banning guns in the US would solve all problems of violence. But it would be a decent start. I can't think of any justification to allow anyone to posses an assault rifle. nor even a handgun. Not only does it send a very strange message, it makes killing people extremely easy.
Knives are bad, for sure. And it's a big problem in the UK. However, you can run away from a knife. It is two different scale of weapons.
I don't know. I just find it crazy, and can't understand how the "arguments" of the gun lobby actually prevail. So much so, in fact, that no one seems to think guns will be banned any time soon. People are not even talking about making guns illegal, only to make it slightly harder to acquire one. It just seems crazy from this side of the pond.

you think getting a gun is easy!?
shoot, I had to wait 12 whole days before state police sent my paperwork in so I could pick my baby up
easy, pah
and then all that signing.... you have no idea how hard it is to remember all those places where the clerk points to and just says "sign here , here and here", i mean, he might have made the "X" a little bigger.. jeesh. Good thing I didn't actually have to read any of that stuff!
and THEN, I had to get my Firearms Training Course Completion certifcatcate, and LET ME TELL YOU, that little 15" screen TV that was up on the wall of the back of the store was NOT easy to see or hear, especially while the guy was in the process of telling me where to sign and waht check boxes that I shouldn't check off and started making small talk after he pressed play on the VCR...
He did make it alittle easier to hear him though after turning the volume down a bit. Only after all taht did I become certified to use firearms.
Easy my *****

Well, sure, if you're going to be all LEGAL about it.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
yeah, I feel jipped that if I ever want to shoot somebody, I'd have to go through all the trouble of ordering a new firing pin online so the police can't trace it back to my gun.
bloody facism!

You don't even have to do that... Just get a really stiff barrel brush and rough up the inside. The rifling won't match the bullets anymore. Or you could just use a smooth bore weapon and switch out the firing pin.
I'm just sayin'....
I'm reading your OP as a slap against the prevalence of weaponry here in the States, Nobby. As opposed to the more enlightened stance of Englishmen, perhaps, where even the cops don't pack heat?

Yeah, or you could just take the empty shell casings you fired and use a smooth bore weapon. Then you do not have to replace anything!
I would rather replace the barrel than ***** up the rifling, if you did not the weapon at a later date the accuracy would be the suck.

I'm so good I just catch the shell casings in my teeth and dig the bullets out of the corpse.

Unless you seriously rough up the inside (as in you may as well replace the barrel after that) they can still match the 'coincidental' matching marks and just say in court that you tried to change the characteristics of the markings in the barrel with a stiff brush. Easier to use a weapon you don't want to keep and destroy it.

I bow to your greater evil intelligence.
BTW do you inform the hero of your nefarious plans just before you tell your lackeys to 'take care of him' and walk away to?

I like the fact that Nobby wasn't filtered, he actually typed the word "skeeterphile."
