Where did I say that?

You think there aren't laws designed for people like this not to acquire firearms?

Please please wise one, tell me how you plan on enforcing your ban on a country with 450+ million firearms in circulation

Well, funny, I thought we had whole body's of professional lawmakers to handle the details like that, didn't realise I had to do it personally. But OK. A staged approach over 5 or 10 years, with increasing severe penalties for possession, starting with amnesty and buyback, ending with life sentences.

Considering that (I'll point this out ....again) alcohol kills more people...yep you're damn right I'm not giving my firearms up until you can magically fix the issues in this country starting with the fascist fucks who are in power.

How does alcohol kill more? Are you talking health effects or drunk people killing people? Number of firearms used to prevent the fascist takeover which is currently in progress in the country: 0. Number of firearms used to kill a mother and cause life changing injuries to a teenager on Christmas eve: 1 (at least. Let's face, there were probably more)

So...again. You don't care how they die just that guns were the cause. Knives and hands/feet kill more people a year combined than all rifles do...but like I said above you'd be for another AWB.

Guns are the most common murder weapon in the US. Combining several categories to obtain a higher rate is disingenuous. Stating that other weapons are also used in murders does not detract from the fact that guns are overwhelmingly the murder weapon of choice.

So...again. You don't care how they're killed, just that guns did it, so they're bad.

Your comprehensiom skills need some work. A swimming pool is not the go too murder weapon in the majority of cases. If it were, we could and should discuss how to deal with that. But it's not.

Just swerve into civs...one more dead person...just grab the kitchen knife...one more dead person.

Most murders are perpetrated against a specific victim with whom the murder has some sort of grievance. Not random acts of violence. Even so, if cars were being used to murder people at the rates guns were, I'd expect action.

Everything you're listing has one thing in common that you can't seem to focus on. Why they did it in the first place. Your bandaid solution is "ban all guns" (because let's be honest, criminals don't follow laws, so making more restrictions matters zilch to them, they'll get one from the black market).

It doesn't really matter why though. A decision is to kill, and the means to do so, against which the victim is completely defenseless, is instantly available. Moreso than any other weapon. Even if you decide to stab your girlfriend to death, you still have to at least get close enough to do it. A gun is just instant murder. Which means there is no time for second thoughts or changes of heart. The US has a higher murder rate than any comparible country precisely because murder in the US is so easy

So your argument is 'the law is ineffective, so we best just give up. Maybe focus on some tangental issues, but don't do anything to solve the actual problem, which is the ease of obtaining a firearm, legal or otherwise." Because all of the homicides by firearm are a n acceptable statistic for you as long as you get to keep your guns.

And the difference, by the way, between pool deaths and road deaths and all the others you cite, and guns: intent. The number of people who just snap one day and decide 'I'm gonna drown my entire family on the pool' or 'I'm gonna drive my car through that bitches house and kill her' is so statistically insignificant that there is no cause to protect society from it. Whereas guns allow such easy access to death that the homicide can be perpetrated before there is any time for rational thoughts. Just pick up a gun, bam, one more dead person.

So what, this woman and her 13 Yr old should have been strapped? Whilst chilling on the sofa on Christmas eve? Then this never would have happened!

End of the day, you believe that a few hundred shooting deaths per year are a price worth paying for your gun fetish. Just out and say it "I don't care how many people die, I like guns".

I had them break into my vacant house, which I was selling, because of an unpaid electricity bill. They claimed they had made every reasonable effort to contact me (which the law requires). Which apparently did not extend to phoning the estate agents number on the 'for sale' board they walked past to serve notice, and again to actually break in. After I threatened them with the ombudsman, Shell Energy agreed to replace the PAYG meter they illigally installed, paid to repair the damage and wrote off the £45 debt that prompted the action.

True day!

My guess is a 'turncoat' in the DoJ 'accidentally' let this one, and other similar ones, slip through. Or they're all just fucking incompetent. Take your pick.

Not that I pay particular attention, but I have a high-school age daughter and from I've noticed, there seems to be an even split.

It's not like I pay special attention, but I have a high-school age daughter. I'd say from what I've noticed there is an even split.

I'm pressing you for one reply, to justify or defend the position you have argued yourself into. But you can't, can you because you know you're wrong. Or you like looking at pictures of schoolgirls.....

The only information you have given me is that 1) you think I'm a peado and 2) you like looking at pictures of schoolgirls.

The one thing I have actually asked you: why do the newspapers so so many images of one particular type? And you refuse to answer. Whilst defending the practice.

😂. So you've finally understood my point. You could just say 'oh, yeah, that is weird!' but you got too invested in implying I'm a peado didn't you? So now your pride won't allow you to do anything but slink away. Bye!
