Born Hunter 17,639 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 IMO what's left of gun rights in the UK hang by a thread. We are being marginalised by the licensing authorities and they are taking harder stances on anything suspect in the name of 'caution'. All it'd take is for a fella with a 243 and a screw lose to set himself up at a similar population centre in the UK, a music festival, city centre, football match and set about it and I reckon owning a rifle for sporting purposes will be gone for good. They'll be treated the same as pistols for HD, only professionals will be permitted. There'll be no argument of liberty because nobody gives a shit. That's the deal over here, that's the culture. God forbid you ever need to defend yourself or your country. We'd be sheep queuing up for slaughter in that respect. I was in Oklahoma in summer and chatting to a Canadian (US resident) about the culture and he hit the nail square on the head for me "When I was in the UK last they were asking what the government were going to do about this tragedy, demanding the government do something. I asked what were YOU going to do about it!". We don't want that responsibility, the yanks do, even if it costs em. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hes a nutter plain and simple. Guess thats the downside of allowing folk to hoard guns with no checks mainly a health check. But that would infringe on his freedom though. As far as I am aware, America is a big fecking place pal.A mate of mine was going through a divorce, proper upstanding chap, head of a hundred million turnover firm, not an aggressive bone in his body and not so much as a parking ticket to his name. His ex simply phoned up and said "I'm worried because he has shotguns" and just like that they came round and took his guns away. She only did it to be a c**t. Now let's take Chris case here where he has said he is at least an hour from 911 assistance, if you had a British system and someone made a totally false complaint and they take his guns how will his family defend itself? Who is going to tell that man "sorry about your family but there may be a nutter amongst the 300, 000,000 other Americans and we can't take any chances" Nutters hurt innocent people, no need to make their life any easier. My FEO advised me (and most of you too, I'm sure) not to let neighbours know I have guns - "The first time you have a fallout with them, they'll be on the phone, saying you threatened them....." Who is you FEO it was a lady called sue curryer when I lived up that way. She wax very helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 you can legally purchase an automatic if it was registered before may 1986 That's not true. Nowhere in the states can you purchase a fully automatic rifle. You can apply for a licence which is costly and a long process. No fully automatics have been produced for the civillian market since 1986. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
