quote: ORIGINAL: Kirata quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD PS the first time I heard your laws called draconian was by a person making a statement arguing that we should adopt them. I suspect we will never see a link for this bullshit claim. Maybe he's thinking of this: Guns Per Se didnt cause yesterdays horrific events but the easy availability certainly contributed. So maybe the answer is for tighter laws, at least for obtaining guns initially . . . I personally dont see it as draconian to limit certain liberties which danger more than the individual. http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4324886 K. If he did, he is as fucking stupid as you. I clearly said I dont see it as draconian which is hardly the same as calling it draconian, is it brains. And if you are going to quote me, do it in full or explain you have snipped a large chunk from my post, even if you did link to it. Your action kind of alters how it reads.

[:)] Guns Per Se didnt cause yesterdays horrific events but the easy availability certainly contributed. So maybe the answer is for tighter laws, at least for obtaining guns initially . . . I personally dont see it as draconian to limit certain liberties which danger more than the individual. Guess who that would be. K. The one I was referring to was a big shot in Hollywood calling for Europeans style gun laws in the 90's during the post Columbine hysteria after some people had been blaming violent video games and movies. Back then not everything went on the internet.

I doubt Ben Hur was advocating taking up our gun laws. [8\|]

Nevertheless, you're the one who felt it appropriate to inject the adjective "draconian" in that context. Nobody else had suggested such a thing. Apparently you just felt the need to deny it anyway. Funny, eh? quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 And if you are going to me, do it in full or explain you have snipped a large chunk from my post, even if you did link to it. Your action kind of alters how it reads. Quote you? Where? I didn't use the quote function, or even quotation marks, and I didn't identify the speaker in either edit of the post. I just reproduced some text, with an explicit ellipsis to show that I had skipped some intervening content. Should I have explained what an ellipsis means? K.

Now you are out and out lying you arsehole. Not only did you quote my words, at least the start and finish of my post, but you linked to it. You also said "Guess who that would be"....... Not much of a guess if you then pointed people straight to it you tosser. What is obvious is that you went to the length of doing a search to prove a point and all you proved was fuck all about fuck all.

It was a quote, of course, but I didn't put it in a quote box to identify the speaker, or claim that "Politesub53 said this." Yes it was you, but I didn't want to give away the secret up front. After all, who would have guessed? K.

~ FR ~ Here's an interesting find. On May 24, 2013, the UK Telegraph ran a "new law competition". Telegraph new law competition: vote now Last week, as Westminster discussed Private Members Bills, we asked you to provide MPs with some inspiration . . . The readers of telegraph.co.uk/politics did not disappoint, and provided us with a raft of ideas. These are the six that caught our eye. Now, it is over to you - vote below for the Bill you'd like to see debated in the Commons. There have been a total of 31,333 votes recorded to date, a stunningly huge sample, and here are the results: [image]local://upfiles/235229/10AF56BB33E7453D8116974D75419A54.jpg[/image] K.

Just googled that one. Wow, have so many sites leapt on it like hungry hyenas! The Telegraph is a broadsheet paper read by generally elderly conservatives. (Av. age 61, apparently.) And there was no 'No, we don't want guns back' option to tick. Still, that shouldn't put off lots of American gunsters zipping off to the site to tick the 'Yes! Guns are yummy!' box ASAP.

This survey seems quite suss to me. The overwhelming disparity in numbers, when considered in conjunction with the complete absence of hand gun ownership as a popular political issue in the UK combine to suggest that perhaps a great deal of those numbers were non-UK in origin. One might also note that this type internet survey reflects the views of the respondents only (ie respondents are drawn from the readers of one very conservative and right wing paper) and should not be interpreted as a reflection of the views of wider society. This type of survey is wide open to manipulation which seems to me to be the best explanation of the results.

He was giving his opinion so you should ask why they don't count to him. He then tried to imply that the voters had not choice because there wasn't a no guns option. Now I have no clue why he would think they needed a new bill to talk about a existing law but perhaps he will come back and explain that one. He also implied that there was no way of knowing if the votes even came from the UK which is a valid point but gets lost among the other bullshit.

No, actually I succeeded in implying it. It wasn't hard to find that there wasn't a 'No, I don't want guns back' because, unsurprisingly, I was quite keen to tick such a box. quote: Now I have no clue why he would think they needed a new bill to talk about a existing law but perhaps he will come back and explain that one.

The votes could have come from any old windbag conservative gunster from America. (I understand that the Telegraph Online is quite popular with such types your side of the pond.) As for 'a new bill to talk about a existing law' ... I don't know what that means. You'll have to rephrase it. The notion that lots of us, never mind a majority of us, want guns back here in the UK is massively counterintuitive. Which Brits - righties, lefties - here on CM's boards do you think would support this? The most I've ever seen is some guarded support for repealing the strict measures taken after Dunblane. We don't want a gun situation like you have in the USA. It's a fantasy.

You surely aren't suggesting that the survey results are representative of the UK population as whole are you? I mean no one is that stupid, are they ....? It would come as a great surprise to discover that the results of the survey are even representative of the Telegraph's UK readers. Outside of the US, gun 'rights' are a fringe interest and usually of no interest to the broad mass of the population. That is certainly the case here in Australia, where gun enthusiasts regularly gather about 1% of the vote. That's about as fringe as you can get without disappearing altogether.
