Anyone validate this?
They're quoting 8 for Great Britain. I suspect they're using the figure of 8 for handgun deaths in just England and Wales alone in 2011. So they've looked up figures, but been sloppy with them.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Originally posted by regexcellent View PostSpeaking of automatic weapons I got to work with a Mk. 19 automatic grenade launcher yesterday, which was ****ING COOL! Too bad civilians can't get those...although I wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. I also got to play with M249, M240, and M2 machine guns (.22 cal, .30 cal, and .50 cal respectively).
The Mk. 19 with its tripod weighs almost as much as I do and in order to rack it, you have to brace yourself against the tripod with your feet and use both hands. It's like using one of those rowing machines. That thing is a BIG GUN!
Back on topic though

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostDon't be an idiot. I know many gun owners. Virtually none of them feel the "need" to own a gun, for them, it's simply a hobby to go hunting or target shooting. It has nothing to do with a desire for violence or the bravado associated with having a firearm. It's just about simply enjoying a sport.

Of the ones I know that feel the need to own a gun, most are women who think they need it to protect themselves from things like rape."Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum."
