    Glad you're ok!
    Does having a gun really help? In that situation I think I'd just end up with them taking my gun..

    Of course it works, how else do you think anyone takes/keeps power? war of words? a convincing argument? No, power is behind the trigger, the subservient at the end of the barrel. The situation would have been completely turned around. Until next time when they returned with two guns.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    For leaders sure. But give someone like me a gun and I don't think I could really shoot anybody.

    And despite male bravado I think most people are the same. 8 out of 10 people if put in a threatening situation would resort to pleading and begging rather than fighting back imo.

    Bilbo I think that is more indicative of decades of gun prohibition in the UK. The U.S. has a tradition of gunownership dating back to its inception. By all means if you don't feel comfortable with a fire arm I would never suggest you own/carry one but in my circle of friends and family gun ownership is long standing tradition and most would be able to use a fire arm competently.

    Yeah that is a good point actually. You are probably correct there.

    It's not just leaders, you have superior fire power you don't need to fight, they're not going to die just to get your stuff.

    glad you're ok mate

    On a completely different note did anyone go to any of those demos in certain towns and cities in UK today. A group of chefs were demonstrating the new Samurai Chef Kitchen Knife. Chops so fine at speed I was amazed at the one in Leeds. Best bit is when one of the guys asked a passer by for a cigarette and then tossed it to the guy with the knife who diced the fag into about hundred pieces at the blink of an eye.


    fucking amazing

    Sorry - tangent there ICB , but again am glad you are ok
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
