Well, yeah. By not having any felonies doesn't mean that you won't commit any but private gun shop owners still have the right of refusal.

Parents just need to be more responsible by keeping their guns hidden in a secure place.

Why should guns be hard to get? They help to ensure ur survival through self defence in the event of a potentially lethal attack

Is this Kaczyński speaking some sense for once? I can't believe it.

Yeah, we have to leave some things to trust in life. It's just staggering when u read that over 30,000 people die a year from gun blasts. That's more than the death toll of US soldiers after 5 years of war in Iraq.

"America has this freedom and it's very difficult for non-Americans to understand why we feel so passionately about it. It is the most unique freedom ever given to a people," said Andrew Arulanandam, director of public affairs for the NRA. (Reporting by Daniel Trotta; Editing by Eddie Evans)

OK, so it's deeply entrenched in ur culture. That doesn't mean that there can't be discussions on it.

sbcoalition.org

please read this. I usually take an article and dissect it with my students. Rather than go round in circles, let's discuss sth meaty and substantial. I will concede that the situation is messy due to the black market so bearing arms is important as a counterbalance and defensive option. Also, cops abuse their privelege sometimes so citizens must be afforded a similar protection.

Let's discuss the article

Life / PATRIOTISM -- POLISH OR OTHERWISE? [23]

Patriotism is concerned with being loyal and proud of what your country represents. Poles have a right to be patriotic. They resisted oppression and fought noble causes most of the time.

Question 7

U shoot sb in self defence for fear of ur life. U feel there was an imminent threat. U kill them. What's ur penalty under American Law?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Running away, that's the Scottish approach, u MUST attempt this.

OK, one dead man, well done, u shot him first, he's dead. Expect retaliation and a second death.

Question 6

Isn't it ur bed time yet? LOL

Question 5

If you felt that sb was really gonna shoot u, then you'd shoot them first, right?

Well, u should comfortably answer my questions then

Question 4

Do Americans value human life as of the utmost importance?

Question 3

Why are there more gun-related deaths in America than in Europe?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

A little about guns is different from little about guns, dumbass

Yes, OK, I can tell you that the number is much higher in America.

Question 3

Why is that?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Let's ensure that wires are not being crossed tho. I taught a guy at Vattenfall and we often discussed his weekends hunting. It was interesting for me as I know a little about guns. I believe in responsible use FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

Question 2

Is the number of gun-related deaths in America higher than in Europe?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

OK, let me put it to u another way. Step by step, please answer my questions. Please give the shortest and simplest answer gtd

1) Guns DO kill, why?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Nice ducking skills gtd. Accidental deaths caused by sth that wasn't designed to kill are far different from intentional deaths caused by sth that was designed to kill, wouldn't u say?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

I also don't have a problem with this (as a right to be exercised). I just don't like animals being killed but it happens.

Hunting is a separate focus tho. This is not a bone of contention.

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Nonsense? What nonsense? U have completely ducked the most critical of differences. It's not a 'label', it's a reality. U clearly haven't studied criminal law.

Dawid, I don't deny that hunters have a right to do this. However, I think it's pretty clear that a huge number of gun-related deaths (of people) in America cannot be attributed to hunters. Am I wrong? I don't need to be Johnnie Cochrane or Barry Scheck to defend that one.

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Accidents, thank u. Do u know what that means? It means that u didn't mean to do it, u had no mens rea. Oh, I dare say accidents happen with guns too but users usually know what they are doing and intend to carry out the deed of firing. That doesn't appear so accidental to me.

It was a governmental response to a predicament that was spiralling out of control gtd. Like I don't profess to know about the prevailing conditions in America, u can't presume the lion's share of knowledge about Scotland (not that u did).

I think it was a 1993 statute in Scotland. The Carrying of Knives (Scotland) Act 1993 I believe. There has probably been subsequent legislation but that broadly encapsulated the Scottish approach. Glasgow was the primary focus. People were being stabbed left, right and centre. Sth had to be done. It was a measured response.

Butterfly knives are illegal. Swords are also clamped down on.

In Scotland, u'd have a problem gtd. The police can escort u 2 where u intend to use the knife, e.g workplace. U can't just carry one around willy-nilly.

Not being disputed? Well thank you!!

R u gonna spread butter with ur gun? Or let it take u 2 another part of town?

It's so easy for me to nullify ur argument above. What word do we use to describe car-induced deaths? Go on, tell me, I'm listening.

There are restrictions in Scotland, dunno about England

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

They are abusing the purpose for which a car was designed, nuff said

Then swords would have to have been taken away on both sides.

I don't deny that guns have other uses. They were still designed to kill tho

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

So does choking on bacon. Can u imagine the laughs you'd hear across the world if bacon was banned? Tobacco kills more people than cars. It's still legal.

It has a lot to do with legality. The car was designed to get people from A to B. Cars are entertainment for people.

In a criminal law sense, most people don't use cars to kill, they don't have the mens rea to kill. People with guns often do. What else do they have them for? Self defence? What, u gonna hit ur attacker with the gun? OR FIRE IT?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Cars weren't designed to kill, guns were. Simple!!

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

But look at how useful cars are. U keep raising the issue of self defence. The likely result is that u have to kill sb b4 they kill u, agreed? Sometimes there are those situations.

Crudely put, guns are more of a direct threat to life than the others. Getting hurt is different from getting killed.

People drown, they have a choice as to whether or not to enter the water. People often have little choice as to whether sb shoots at them.

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

I just wanted to make the point that we get by without guns OK.

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Oh, and we are devoid of 'bad' people in Europe? I'm sure certain mafia elements have them here but on a small scale. What are the laws of self defence in America now? I studied them way back but times have changed.

Then the right to bear arms was a mistake in the first place?

News / Is it time to tighten gun laws in Poland? [146]

Guns can provoke a response in themselves. If I walked into a black area with a gun, not looking particularly menacing, they would still feel intimidated and may resort to aggression. A sign of hostility.

My point is that I'd feel so much more comfortable walking into an area where I knew they didn't have guns. It would make things so much better if guns weren't there, needless to say.

I guess it stands to reason. The shop owner must use their discretion. Nobody said life was fair.
