And the main threat you face is somebody else like you with a gun which explains why I am 50 times less likely to be shot and 5 times less likely to be murdered than you are
We dont want guns because we see what it has done to your society. Any politician who advocated copying your gun madness would face instant electoral oblivion here. And rightly so !
I don't have to fear someone else like me with a gun, I don't go shooting people. You have just as much to fear as anyone else, people who are willing to do harm to you, except in your regressed land you better hope you are stronger and faster than them...
RE: Not so fast there. While I was working on an old house, someone stole a drill I was using so I used my 4" barrel Mod. 29 S&W .44 Magnum to "drill" holes through old, nail filled floor joists for bell wire. Naturally, I covered the revolver to keep it clean from the resulting dirt etc. My point is that firearms can be weapons but they are more commonly used for recreation like golf clubs & baseball bats.
. Here in the U.S. there are vast areas of wilderness, many places lack markets, other Countries, hunting was good, and as far as quality, Wild game is way better tasting than farm fed store bought meat. Hunting is a wonderful spiritual experience, you rarely have at a supermarket.
No, the main threat is someone not like me, The Criminal that would snap a neck like a carrot and laugh about it later. The knock Em out teens playing their vicious little game, want to chance a brain injury ?
Interesting perspective. Here are some stats from England and Wales (I understand you to be in Scotland but you know us dumb Americans we just lump you all together): https://rapecrisis.org.uk/statistics.php The total of those numbers is nearing 600,000 victims. U.S. stats on rape and sexual assault: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv16.pdf The total of these numbers is nearing 323,450 victims. So you tell me? Don't worry about being doomed. Your nation was in that situation once before but the U.S., with its guns came to your rescue. If you need our help again just say so. You're welcome. Rich

We have criminals too but thanks to our sane gun laws they cannot kill anything like as easily as yours can. You must be proud of their facility to kill so easily
They are also much less likely to be either raped or assaulted as a result of sane gun policies here as their attackers are far less likely to be armed
We ? As in the Royal plural We ? Because a fair amount of you lot, the "We" you refer to, have firearms certificates, largely in a figurative sense, inaccessible most of the time..... Still, some people there have some guns with limited access.....
Strange. As posted you make it sound, as if you believe, that were the better option. Thankfully, Women here in the U.S. can legally defend themselves and turn the tables on their attackers. Sane gun policies result in more assault and rape, hence why being armed is the supperior option.
Unfortunately their attackers will be far more likely to be armed than they are. Rape at gunpoint is after all much too easy
So prove to me that my countrymen secretly pine for guns but that big brother here is intervening to stop them because in my 56 years I must have missed it
Nice spin. Now let's see one where it's all violence against women. Oh, look, Mother Russia loves to rape women like it was a Third World shithole:
Women are some 11 times more likely to meet a violent end in the US than in any other first world country. Your children are some 17 times more likely Its the availability of guns that is the cause of this disparity .... nothing else You must be proud
Fear each other ? What fear ? I served in many capacities, as a LEO, and fear was not a factor as much as being perepared.
