[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I'm gonna give Frank the benefit of the doubt, and assume he means military service is required to own a gun in many European contrues, rather than saying that conscriptions been brought back while I've been dozing. I thought last time we all came to the agreement that banning guns in the US wouldn't do any good, as it's been saturated with them. On the other hand, countries like the UK should continue to ban them, to stop the number of murders getting anywhere near the percentage of the US. I did read some statistics to show how many children are shot each year in the US by guns, but I've forgotten it. Still, isn't even one too many? [i]'And a couple of comments by me: If a reponsible person owns the gun, there can be no "accidents."'[/i] Surely the very definition of accidents means that they cannot always be prevented. I am sure most people think that their gun is secure. Until their child shoots themself with it. Also, I don't normally get angry, but: [i]'So go ahead and hiss, snarl and fizz, you look cute doing it through a rifle scope.'[/i] I really can't stand that sort of shit. It's dangerous, idiotic, and really doesn't make people like you. BTW, owning guns make you less likely to be invaded by another country? What century are you living in? Jesus, you really think everyone in England lies awake at night worried that they are going to be invaded by the French or something, and wishing they had a gun to blow their heads off? You know, maybe if the US had tried [i]talking[/i] to other countries instead of either secluding itself from the world, or inventing a war simply to pump money into the military, some of its citizens wouldn't have this strange idea that 'hey, it's okay, I have the power to kill someone from 50 yards! What a beautiful world' Come on: Alcohol. 99% of people use it for recreation. Maybe 1% of people might act violent while under the influence. Minimum age in the US: 21 Firearms. Are designed with one thing in mind: to hurt and kill people. Minimum age in some states: 18 Does this make any sense? [/QB][/QUOTE]
