In an ideal world only the gov would have gunpowder weapons and regular people would be forced to fight with knives, daggers, machetes and spears.

If the government abuses its powers, all of the 0.22s in the world won't save you.
You're far more likely to be killed by a whackjob buying a gun at the local K-Mart than you are by your government deciding to start killing its taxpayers."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

If the US military could be brought down with handguns, it would be pretty useless. Of course America doesn't really need a useful military to stay uninvaded, but lots of people like to pretend it does.Comment

In June 2008 some Japanese guy killed 7 by using a knife, injured another 10.Originally posted by OneFootInTheGrave View Post

IIRC they had several other cases in Japoan of guys running amok using knives, sometimes without people being killed, 'just' wounded. Maybe the June 2008 guy was a ninja or something, but at least it's possible to kill scores of people with a knife.
That being said, I'm not really in favour of guns in private hands.....or at least be consquent and give out tanks etc too

This is ****ing retarded. A personal firearm is only useful against other citizens.Originally posted by The Mad Monk View Post
Also, a personal firearm doesn't protect against violations of the 4th Amendment. If you have a firearm during a no-knock raid, expect to be shot."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui
