"Additionally, I do not believe there is enough time for the cops to get to my apartment say if I were being robbed. They would get here in five or six minutes, but it would be too late. What if the person is carrying a weapon and is bent on killing you? Well there you go."
The chances of a burgaler in this country being armed with a gun is very unlikly, a gun just isnt standard issue for criminals over here. Not many criminals would like to take on an argy homeowner ether, chances are if you catch them in the act they will run for it. If they do try and attack you and you fear for your life, then you can kill them, you can also kill them without waring if you feel they put you in danger.
"Open minded to change? Redundant laws?"
This statement was badly placed, I intended it to be a general statement and not one directly linking to gun ownership. People in general, shoudol be more open minded about what is nessasery and what isnt. We for one, dont need the Monarchy yet we hold on to it for "traditonal" reasons. Its sad.
"Your country's monarchy has far less power then say the monarchy in Spain, which controls the Armed Forces. The royal monarchy in Spain however has done a lot for the country and should be kept. Well, yes I do think the royal family is a big waste of money.. but it brings in tourism."
I think the ability to declare war is a power that no wrinky old woman shoudl have.
The "tourism" argument is acctualy rubbish when you lookty at it, thats the conservatives argument for it
but back to the issue
"His figures are completely wrong at any rate."
I agree, I dont like Moore one bit, He makes movies for profit just like any other director, he profits from mass murder.
Another part of that movie that made me laugh was when he tried to claim an aircraft manufacturer (Lockheed Martin was it?) local to Colombine was in some way influncial, Im sorry Moore, but the kids did not walk into the shool with a cruse missile under ther belt, and these things have to be made somewhere.
So yes, I did not take these figures as fact (which is why I never brought them up)
"I'm simply saying you are simply wrong. In fact you provide no evidence"
My ownly argument is that kids got these weapons because they were readily avalable, and yesterdays shooting is evedence to this, he got the weapons off his grandad not from the black market. I do blame the partens too, for letting the kid grow up with some crazy alegance to the Nati party.
Incedently I found this artical quite interesting check this out,
