Gun Control

[Doss]

Funny thing is. that's the first thing i'd do.

Mmmm.

And you'd get yourself killed.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

You have no bloody idea what you'd do.

Run, Hide, Fight.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Run, Hide, Fight.

Good luck to ya pal.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Mmmm.

And you'd get yourself killed.

And I thought you were one of the sensible ones.

 

[GreyWind]

Good luck to ya pal.

Probably thinks he's John McClane.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Good luck to ya pal.

What's your plan champ?

 

[Doss]

You've convinced me.

I'm off to live in a good working example of a society with lax guns laws that is a lot safer than here and has absolutely no problem with gunmen going on murderous rampages ever. EVER!

I'm off to the US, guys.

That's because you're not a responsible gun owner. It's also the very reason why less guns is a solution rather than more guns.

Or you could live in France where they are absolutely shitting themselves atm, whereas the Yanks are sleeping with a gun under the pillow, I know where i'd rather be.

Probs gonna get heaps of guns just in case someone comes after me

Actually, in the extremely unlikely event that I'm caught up in a terrorist situation...or even a nutjob hostage situation like the Lindt cafe siege...I'd most likely do what I'm told (or pretend I'm dead, if possible) to minimize the danger to myself and others.

Of course, I'm not arrogant enough to assume that I know exactly how I will act in a high pressure, incredibly stressful situation like that because I've never been in one.

Ahh, the good ole US of A, where toddlers kill their siblings with guns because they're so readily available and their owners are irresponsible. What a paradise.

 

[ash_1050]

In b4 the ban.

 

[Doss]

You know what's funny.

You've started a thread titled 'Pray for Mali'.

You've then, in over ten posts, not actually even referenced Mali or what is happening there. Just used it as a convenient excuse to spout alarmist drivel about guns.

Then posts that the USA is safe because of more guns.

Don't need heaps of guns, just one, a handgun will do.
Sure it's unlikely you or me will get caught up in a terrorist situation but the odds are shortening.
Pretending to be dead sounds easy but what if you've been shot and the pain is excruciating, so brave not to scream, i'd be shooting at the ****ers rather than laying down like a bitch.

Night all, off to pray before bed.

How dare you insult the people who saved their own lives by pretending to be dead in terrorist situations?! There are several survivor accounts of people who have done just that, including one from Paris that was published this week. I can assure you they were a heck of a lot smarter than you and they were not "lying down like a bitch", they were saving themselves from being murdered.

You are either incredibly young and naive or old, set in your ways and arrogant beyond belief.

 

[ash_1050]

Hmm so prayer will fix things and guns will fix things.

Surely you should be praying instead of shooting if taken hostage? It's like scissors, paper, rock. God trumps guns.

Yet i've been insulted all through this thread for providing a solution to fighting terrorism, how are the law enforcement dealing with hostage situations now, shoot first and ask questions later.

Bloody hell what have I stumbled across in here.

More guns isn't a solution.

Can somebody tell me what the catalyst for this thread was?

A thinly veiled attempt to push the OPs pro gun agenda.
