"I'm a former firearms user, and still now shoot PCP air-rifles for rabbit control. I've been shooting since I was 12, and have competed at a national level. The US gun laws are ridiculous, but unfortunately driven by a very vocal lobby group who've twisted the Constitution to justify all sorts of weaponry. Guns for sport or hunting can be justified, even in the US twisted logic a sidearm of personal protection size, a .22 for example, could be justified. A full automatic assault rifle, or high-power pistols, are not protection - they're for killing people. The whole US gun regs need rewriting to stick with the much-loved Constitution, but limiting the type of weapon and licensing properly." We are talking about the permission to carry concealed hand guns not full auto assault rifles in your eyes The US gun laws are ridiculous, but the majority of U.S. citizens see it differently | |||

"'Merica....... ![]() In a liberal society 'need' is irrelevant. It's all about want. I want a gun, so i get a gun. In a truly liberal society there is acceptance of this fact by all regardless of agreement. | |||

There is that word need again. NEED IS IRRELEVANT in a truly liberal society. Now if we all want admit what kind of governance we live under then you can start to justify rescteicting what people 'need'. | |||

"The biggest armed gang in America come equipped with semi automatic hand guns and long guns, tazers and pepper spray. They kill people for minor traffic offences and various misdemeanours. They are not accountable to anyone. They are of course cops. They are definitely exacerbating the situation in the states atm" And there in lies the true value of the 2nd amendment, and also is an indicator of how misunderstood the amendment is. The police in almost every country have no oversight, no connection to the communities they serve and no incentive to work for the people. Under that scenario you could argue that powerful personal weapons are needed. Otherwise what restriction is there on the police when it comes to say, protest control? Only the army? The lines between the two are blurred beyond recognition by now. And yet the top arguments used by gun advocates are socialism, islam and "thugs". Completely ignoring who the real threat is and that the admendment already gave them the rights and tools they need | |||

"the problem is that the NRA which at first was a sensible, social conscience and liberal organisation has been hijack by the right wing and turned into what you see now... there is absolutely a conversation that could be about sensible gun control measures that could be taken... again, how many guns does one person need? buying ammo from the internet, banning extended magazine rounds (in what situationd do you really need rounds of 30-50 bullets when a round of 6-10 wouldn't be sufficent) there are measures that could take place and wouldn't impenge on peoples rights.... but they want no part of any conversation" Extended Magazines are still legal here in the UK (30+ rounds) never mind usa. . You don't even need a licence to purchase shells, primers, heads, powder or a press, its only when assembled that legislation is required . | |||

You are sounding super left right now. Everytime there is a speech about gun control, sales spike. The neo politic forum loves this. Both liberals and conservatives ( even prominent ones like the Clintons ) have ties to arms sales. Both sides of the aile make stupid amounts of money from private prisons. Biometric gun tech exists, but because of states rights and convulted legislation adoption by New Jersey( the state to put the leg forward) will automatically make all over guns illegal. The leg doesn't need to specify this but it was added anyway, specifically so it would encounter mass opposition. Once again this benefits both sides of the aile. | |||

"In the great wisdom of USA, some states have decided it is now legal for students to carry guns at school . Despite the success of these gun-free policies, an increasingly extreme pro-gun movement in the USA is promoting legislation and litigation to force colleges and universities to allow concealed guns on campus. As a result, schools in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin have now been forced in different ways to allow the carrying of firearms on their premises (i.e. campus grounds, classrooms, dormitories, or parking lots). sounds good; A further 10 states not including the above consider it fine for kids to take their guns to school as love as they are left in their car (wait a minute you twat, im going out to get my gun from car, call me that again when I have my gun) . A further 11 states, outwith the 20 above leave it for the individual Schools decide weapons policy . When Semi Auto handguns were legal in UK, I owned a .45 Colt Gold Cup, this would shoot straight through a 1/4 inch steel plate on practical shoots, same guns and larger calibre are now okay for kids to carry in class . Would you be happy for your kid to head of to school, college, university and sit in class with a firearm? ." Insane policy,but in a country obsessed with guns,sadly unsurprising. A scaled down version of the nuclear deterrent. | |||

Think there are still clubs in Ireland for target shooting Personally I'd just get a firearms ticket and buy a rifle to be honest | |||

If memory serves wasn't it a court ruling by a case some deer shooter in Scotland brought because he considered it unsafe to put the deer out of its misery at close range with a rifle, so the judge allowed him to use a handgun for that purpose?. | |||

I'll stick to my clay pigeons thanks lol There's a reason black powder has nearly died out, had a try of a .45 black powder rifle, wouldn't fire because it had rained once in the past couple of months and when it did fire you had no idea what you had hit because of the smoke! Lol | |||
