Why is it a law in the US that cell phone companies must be able to pinpoint 95% of users to within 300 yards.


Note: I'm not in this debate. I don't care about UK gun laws.  But I will answer this question for you.  We have that requirement to aid emergency responders in locating a 911 caller.  A lot of people have cell phones now, and it used to be impossible to locate a 911 emergency caller's location if they were unable to tell the operator.  I myself don't have a landline and exclusively use a cell phone.  So it's nice to know they can find me if I need help but can't talk for some reason.

But regardless of gun laws dont criminals still get guns illegally? There have been many raped and murdered during a home invation. A person should be able to protect themselves.



How many?

Can you provide any documentation, or should we believe it is a tremendous problem that requires us all to sleep with a loaded gun within easy reach?

Thats exactly why there are so many cameras in the UK. Im not a fan of them, but shopkeepers and home owners feel safer with them. There is no doubt they have cut crime and prevented terrorist attacks in London and elsewhere. Many people feel safer if they know they are in an area protected by cctv.

You know what? I just came from a movie in which some of my people(the jews) took to the forest and protected themselves and did what they had to to survive. They learned to kill people.

So if you have had all your guns taken away from you and your country is invaded what will you do to protect yourselves?

Oh, dont worry. We'll save you.

You really think I have to provide documentation of people getting blown away and murdered in their own home? Jennifer Hudson had 3 family members attacked and murdered in their home.Thats in Chicago where their is a handgun ban. Thats a famous person. I'm sure plenty more but no, I'm not going to provide the data. look it up yourself.

As I recall you couldnt have won without The U.S. We were allies remember?

If I was around then and living in Europe, I would have either been armed or led like cattle to slaughter.

My perspective as part of a persecuted people is different. During Holocaust rememberance week Jews have a Hebrew word that is the motto.

Yes.

I'm just astounded at the number of people who post undocumented bullshit here, then tell everyone else it is their responsibility to prove it is not true.

Since  you are bringing up this Hudson story, would you care to elaborate on the facts, instead of trying to pretend this was some random break-in?

The point I am making is you own the gun to protect your family but also have said you don't need a gun to protect yourself therefore I assume you don't need one to protect your family? Unless you are saying it's easier to protect yourself than to protect your family because a gun is required for the latter?


If 4 men break into my house at night, I may be able to take 2 of them before the other two get me. With my gun i could likely kill all of them before they made it upstairs to the bedrooms. Or at least hold them off for the 5 to 10 minutes it will take for the police to show up. I highly doubt my grandmother can defend herself against them. Neither would my sister. But with my gun their chance improves greatly. Right now i am about 500 miles away from the house. Who is at home protecting them? Mr 45 that's who. And he is ever vigilant. And yes protecting 1 life is easier than 3.


That's assuming that (a) the 4 men aren't also carrying guns and (b) you can produce the gun, aim and fire quicker than the other people can.

But you know the way I see it the reason a lot of the guys on Death Row in places like Texas are there because they were able to use a gun quicker than the homeowner.

And you call that protection?


4 men with guns break in and me without my gun is safer for me? How so? I should not have my gun because they might be quicker on the trigger than me?

We stepped in (eventually) when lloyd george couldnt put it off any longer. We were attacked because we declared war not because they wanted to invade.

Status: offline 		Just a thought, I know for me growing up in the era of the IRA, the threat of bombs going off was far more an issue than worrying or being paranoid about someone with a gun invading the house, I grew up with rifles and a shot gun in the house(dad was a hunter) and learned from an early age how to shoot. My old man told me that a gun wasnt gonna protect me against a car bomb.
In 76 our school was cleared about seven times after bombscares, we literally spent the whole of the summer out on the school field
I was in brompton road when the harrods bomb went off and at victoria station when there was a car bomb detonated by the police.
traumatised? sure, but it never made me think I needed a gun to protect anything.
I dont want one, even living in canada, I dont feel the need, I have kids and would have to have the guns locked up. thats about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.. a baseball bat and a knife, not so much.
The other day I called it a mentality, but i used the wrong word, its not  mentality, its totally different culture belief.

...no, because being bombed by air will not be prevented by any number of citizens with handguns.
