Mmmm, that's different though. Your original claim was how they use individuals. What you just cited there were incidents.

Except Cruz, they absolutely lambasted the GOP based on who Cruz was, and then elevating victims of Patkland as political pawns

 

[dirty harry]

Yeah I think you're right actually. Isn't the biggest threat still suicide as well? I might be making that up (in fact I think I got it from Jim Jeffries. lol)

65% of gun deaths are suicide i think it is.

 

[McTallshort]

Not to be that guy, but handguns are semi automatic, one trigger pull one bullet. Very few are upgraded.

But this is the issue with gun conversations, brits generally dont understand what these terms mean (no im not blaming you) and there is a conflation, infact a lot of non gun owners or anti gun lobbyists either are ignorant or utilise the conflation.

Hand guns are 100% a massive issue, involved with vast majority of gun deaths.

Suicide is a different issue all together IMO

when did I say Handguns were not semi automatic? I know more about firearms and their uses than you do. I was also a UK gun owner until a couple of years ago so please don't lecture me on the technical side of firearms.

Suicide isn't a separate issue. The Police in the UK will not issue you with either a SGC or Firearms license if you have a certain history of mental health which includes suicidal behaviour.

But can you think of any individual shooters. Like I said Rittenhouse was definitely one

Ah apologies I didnt see the word rifles.

Oooh get her, the only certificate holding British on the thread, hahaha. I let mine expire when I moved to Cardiff, no use in south wales lol keep your knickers on, its not a flex.

Suicide gun death rates are 100% a separate issue in the US, why your trying to pivot to UK i have no idea. A suicide by firearm is not a statistic to be made against guns, suicide ideation is a problem, the means by which isnt an issue.

Mind you, same could be said of gun deaths in general, the means is only important when the destruction can be ramped up, a bit like ramming crowds in vehicles isnt the vehicle thats the problem

Cruz was the shooter mate. Hogg was the victim (depends who you ask lol) used by predatory politicians

Let what expire? SGC or Firearms?

 

[dirty harry]

Let what expire? SGC or Firearms?

Is this the part where we go through the entirety of my history, and knowledge of every intricacies of the different types until I slip up hahahaha I can fix that for you real easy

Firearms, owned a bolt action (Tikka cant rmemeber what model, but it was new about 2016) for a short period, but it expired and I moved.
Sadly I dont see another application going in to SWP, im all about the cross bows and bows these days, sad replacements really, but decent fun if making a weekend of it, in a very safe, sensible manner in the appropriate places with safeguards!!!!!

I am still a member of a shooting club in Bevaria, not that I get to travel there that often, in laws signed me up thinking id enjoy it, as a Xmas present after a discussion, but I was devastated when it turned out to be air rifles hahaha

So ye, shite experience and knowledge lol

You should patrol your hood with that crossbow and use it as a deterrent against those pesky litter louts Harold.

Were tou in a club? Or was it vermin and pest control?

I'd love to rejoin a real shooting club again, its not a cheap hobby though.

Bit of vermin control pigeons, Corvids etc but I was also on a small shoot which I really miss. I only had a SGC but could have applied for my firearms license as a farm I did rough shooting on wanted me to me to take care of the foxes but like you I moved and there was no obvious place for a cabinet etc so sold my gun and let the certificate expire.

Never been into clubs or ranges. Did all that in the army, went to clay shoots but it was only to keep my eye in. Miss the crack on the shoot and miss the walking isolation when rough shooting but not overly interested in getting back into it again.

 

[Which Tyler]

An awful lot of "but they're (labelled as) gang members" or "but they're suicides"
So what? are (alleged) gang members not people? is it okay if they're murdering each other?
Are suicides not people? is it just fine is someone can suicide in the blink of an eye? No need to do anything?

I know more about firearms and their uses than you do.

How DARE you?
There is literally no subject on which anyone here can possibly know more than DH

Can't have anyone who knows what science is, in a leading role of a scientific institution - they might care for things like "evidence" or "objective reality"

 

[Saintjay]

Just don't get why anyone needs a gun let alone an AR-15.

Americans don't need to hunt to get food, it's not like there's a short supply of Maccies or Wendy's.

The fact you have so many open carry states where you don't need a permit just to be able to legally own a gun. It's not The Magnificent Seven years any more

As USA law enforcement have found out most people can't draw aim fire in responce to a knife attack. With a reactionary gap of around 21ft needed. Which is impossible in a house.

I find guns just boring and just a mechanical tool the problem is people with them

Ive never managed a clay shoot, its on the bucket list, my missus keeps saying its cos im a pussy and cant handle a SG hahaha

I went out with local farmers on vermin walks, lots of silence, lots vigilance, but not the same with 2. I also did some hunting in the US, not that is a sport I could see myself loving...

Isolation, sat in a hideout, plenty of snacks and beers, just watching... waiting. I would love to have me a pick up, gun collection, sit around on the ranch, hunting on the weekends, NFL Sundays, yee hawwww....

If only the poxy country was rational when it came to health care or education for the kids lol, not to mention property ******* taxes!

STEPHEN MILLER, DEPUTY CHIEF FOR POLICY AND HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISOR: Look, we discussed this last time I was on your show. The Democrat Party does not fight for, care about, or represent American citizens. It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers, and illegal alien killers and terrorists.


The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.

I'm sure this is a totally normal, every day occurrence, that both sides have engaged in equally...
