You grew up in a very different culture in many ways Dabutt. Personally, I'm glad guns are illegal here, I'd hate to think of more and more people owning them. I'm almost thirty and have never really seen a gun, apart from the odd Police Officer.
Actually, that's not true; when I was eleven my friend had a gun that shot out little chunks of potatoe; we shot a guy who was cleaning his windows and ran off. It was pretty cool.

I just can't understand why that would worry someone; it's not as if possession of a firearm turns a rational person into a raving murderer. I'm sure your neighbors have a kitchen drawer filled with sharp knives that are every bit as lethal as a gun, but I doubt you lose much sleep over Mrs. Henderson's paring knives or Mr. Smith's axe.

Different people, different ideas, different cultures.

Not for distances. And we shun the evil dictatorial EU-imposed restrictions anyway.

Indeed!

Better.

At 6:21, surely it's become evening?
I think I'd put a gun to my head if subjected to that kind of horror.
Quote: sootyj @ March 7 2010, 7:10 PM GMTThis doesn't make me as sympathetic as it shoudl.
"Look at me I'm working on my screenplay, stealing the wifi, generally being a cock and using the one nice sofa!"
Indeed. Those kind of people really should be shot themselves, and have their possessions taken.
Quote: EllieJP @ March 7 2010, 6:56 PM GMTYou can come over for dinner... I've got cold pasta bake in the fridge. Rose wine please!
Rosé wine and cold pasta bake. Surely the sign of a lady of luxury...

Ask me in about 2 weeks and I'll be able to help you out.
Don't be an enabler!
The trouble with guns is that until they can invent a gun with fingerprint recognition in the trigger, they can be just as deadly to the owner.
You not only have to know how to use a gun properly but you have to be sure that your fighting reflexes are better than those of the assailant, to prevent him distracting you and then wresting the gun from you.
Awww Bill. We have an avatar too.
How many will there be by the end...
