Buy her one of her own. Valentines day is right around the corner...Yeah, my wife ain't too happy about it.
I'm sure she'd appreciate that as much as the wetsuit I bought her hoping she'd learn to surf, but if I got her an AP 5, well if she doesn't want to use it…Buy her one of her own. Valentines day is right around the corner...
Over half of the people believe what the anti-gun "news" and entertainment industry tell them.
Like 114 was closing a loophole.I personally believe it's getting harder with so much misinformation so readily available on the internet and so few ways to verify what is truth and what is an agenda or just plain ignorance.
a. Yep, a well-placed 150gr Core-Lok .308 bullet will naturally cause death.I worked for a Dr. that was super anti gun and every Christmas he would give us a check for a gift . I would use that money every year to buy ammo I still laugh about it ! I thought it interesting that he hated guns but would eat elk I brought in maybe he thought it died from natural causes lol.
I honestly don't understand how anyone can cook that badly… i mean most food comes in boxes and all you do is add ingredients these days! LolI'm with you Andy, one of my ex's could kill an elephant just by letting it eat whatever was in the fry pan.
But, in the UK, the guns are already gone. I would fully expect lack of interest and unfamiliarity to prevail for guns.a. Yep, a well-placed 150gr Core-Lok .308 bullet will naturally cause death.
b. I really don't get the substantial and genuine HATE that some of your fellow citizens have about guns and shooting and those who take part.
Here in UK, if anybody asked what sports interest me, and I reply 'shooting', they usually whittle on about game shooting - grouse, pheasant, that sort of thing, as we live out of town in a small village community. When I mention target shooting, which is all I actually do, I get a glazed look, and a 'oh, that's nice/different/unusual' - if, indeed, it registers at all. Very few people follow up, but those that do usually say, 'I did a bit of that in the cadets' or 'I was in the Army/Navy/RAF and did a bit/lot
of shooting but never thought about it after I left - might be interesting to have another go, eh?' Hereabouts, we have a LOT of ex-Armed Forces personnel, with five large bases within twenty miles or so.
They can SEE that I'm a decent person, or else I wouldn't BE a parent school governor or member of the local council, so the instant hate that colours so much of your responses just doesn't happen here.
A general lack of interest.familiarity seems to prevail.
But without disdain or judgment. What some people really don't get is unlike driving, which IS a privilege, there is a constitutional provision about bearing arms. They might argue that the Supremes got it wrong in Heller, and quote some former justice's thoughts about it, but that's not the law. We might not like what the Supreme's have said about the right but they have the final say (frankly, I think the doctrine of originalism is bunk and ignorant of 200 years of jurisprudence before that theory came into vogue, but I'm not a Supreme Court justice).Not stupid, ignorant. Talk to them as if you were trying to explain it to a child.
with permission from the government.According to the most recent statistics, there were 1,438,399 shotguns licensed in England and Wales last year, and more than 550,000 firearms of other types also licensed.
Those figures exclude Scotland and Northern Ireland, also parts of the UK.
True. Not arguing about that. Just like every other First World country on earth except the United States of America.with permission from the government.
Our Constitution was written by revolutionaries. Even then, the Bill of Rights had to be negotiated and included in order for the Constitution to be adopted by the States.True. Not arguing about that. Just like every other First World country on earth except the United States of America.
One of the things that makes us special (better than the rest!).True. Not arguing about that. Just like every other First World country on earth except the United States of America.
Guess what? We all operate with permission from the government, or our moms.with permission from the government.
I would beg to differ on this, having to get a background check to exercise a right is in fact getting government permission.except the United States of America.
I don't actively follow threads where I'm not tagged - it's hard enough keeping up. Please use the reply or @ tagging feature; much obliged.Dear Mr Hueco - According to the most recent statistics, there were 1,438,399 shotguns licensed in England and Wales last year, and more than 550,000 firearms of other types also licensed.
Scotland - 'The information below reflects the number of certificates which were on issue in Scotland on 31 March 2021. There were 25646 firearm certificates on issue as at 31 March 2021. There were 45420 shotgun certificates on issue as at 31 March 2021.'
Northern Ireland - 'Detailed data provided by the PSNI includes the following key findings: In total, there are 153,459 legally held weapons owned by people living in Northern Ireland.
Hardly 'gone' as you suggest. Difficult, sure, impossible, nope.
Around 2,000,000 guns suggest that your assertion may well be erring on the side of, uh, error.
