The Mighty Prawn Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 You are the reason we will lose the remainder of our gun rights. Why does everything have to be about needing a reason? You are wrong on handguns I can't have any for target shooting, unless you are part of a tiny olympic elite and even then the guns have to be kept at a range, you're not trusted to take your guns home with you. Everything is about "needing a reason" because that's what the legislation says! I am a target shooter too and yes I would love a pistol for target shooting and I can't have one, it's frustrating but I understand the reasoning behind it, an easily concealable lethal tool - my point was target shooting is not "good reason" for a handgun, but humane despatch is ergo those that can prove good reason can have one. By your rationale are you saying anyone should be allowed anything? Where would you draw the line then? Is an RPG okay if I want one? What about a good old LAW anti tank - range use only obviously? Could I mount a chain gun to the handlebars of my motorbike in this self serving utopia you dream of? I think I'm also the millionth person you've accused of being the reason we will all lose our guns so I'd like to claim my commemorative t-shirt if possible? There are several threads running on UK Gun Laws in other sections of the forum. Please post on those if you wish to discuss that subject. Soz, please feel free to delete my posts above as i am derailing the topic under discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I very much doubt that this chap holding hostages in Australia will emerge alive, I hope he is the only casualty! Gunman dead - hostages okay. You called it right - Tightchoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Compassionate cleric? From the BBC News Website; "Police say they believe the man who seized hostages inside a cafe in Sydney, Australia, is Man Haron Monis. The self-styled Muslim cleric was born in Iran and sought political asylum in Australia in 1996. He is well known to the Australian police and is currently on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife. He is also facing more than 40 sexual and indecent assault charges".

If it had happened here Cameron would be saying "it has nothing to do with religion" etc. You all know the PC spiel by now. You're being ridiculous. However you feel about Cameron you cant get by the fact that he has publicly outed religious extremism on a number of occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Call me paranoid, but I think this may well be the beginning of the end of public gun ownership not only in Australia, but the UK. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/11293694/Islamists-take-hostages-in-Sydney-cafe-siege-live.html PARANOID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
