ORIGINAL: Aneirin There we have it, excluding morons, tell me, what defines a moron, do you in the wild west have any requirement in place to ascertain a person's suitability to own and carry a firearm ? Mental health history perhaps ? Or is it, literally anyone, morons included can purchase a firearm and after a course which you say is easier than that required for a driving permit, own and carry a gun, a gun which unlike a vehicle has no other use than to kill. But say you weed out the morons, it is from my experience morons can be made and often morons are made by them disregarding rules and regulations they once adhered religiously to, they adopt a laissez faire, easy going attitude, and that is where the danger is. Sure this woman who is the subject of the OP must have gone through the required firearm handling courses, but what caused that stupidity to disregard all that training and do what she did, did she in fact evolve from a responsible person into a moron, or was it she was always a moron and why then do you allow morons to carry and brandish deadly weapons in the public arena ? But I wonder just how much your need to own and carry a deadly weapon reflects on the US's militaristic attitude, perhaps it is the gun owners reluctance to rely on authorised peacekeepers and do the job themselves, is the American military machine on the world stage, in that fuck the UN we will do the job ourselves and here we are America involved in how many wars that arte not going to plan, if there was ever any plan aside from the wild west posse charging in guns ablazing ? What are you on North American's back for? Unlike in the UK where a six or seven year old can get a gun permit, tell us how that inspections process works there, for in any part of the United States and in all parts of Canada, the law is a bit tougher then the UK's, on unsupervised minors owning any sort of firearms. A CHILD aged seven has been issued with a shotgun licence, it was revealed yesterday. - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3489991/Figures-reveal-children-as-young-as-seven-hold-shotgun-licences.htmlAnd Child is the youngest of 153 under-18-year-olds in possession of a licence to use the weapon across Lancashire - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/dec/01/uk-shotgun-licence-child And you let convicted felons own weapons too, that Moat fella was a convicted burglar and you let him have a silenced rifle. (well Canada does to after years of staying out of trouble and some legal work.) And giving former IRA members permits to buy and carry pistols? They were blasting your azzes off the streets a few years ago. You Brits need to tune up your own gun laws, before you go working on the ones in Canada or the United States.
