Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2810]


Poland has no plans to change gun laws to those of another country.

You beat me to it. I read that late last night and thought of posting it here but had other thing s to do.

It's amazing that things like that can happen in a supposedly developed country. Doubtless some of the trolls here will say that they think she should have had a gun too. Perhaps they like shootouts with bullets flying everywhere.


Yes. The gun laws here work and of course there is no significant public opinion in favour of weakening them.

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [83]


One reason for making small interim goals and having a way of measuring if you've achieved them. Sometimes goals should be baby steps; setting them too high (or too vague) makes them harder to achieve.


Only Polish for us since we don't speak each other's first language, and after all, we're in Poland. It works for us. Among friends only Polish except for one person with whom I mix Polish and English because she's learnt English well but doesn't have an opportunity to speak it.

Perhaps less catastrophic than in your country (and Canada sadly has a high level of gun ownership too).

In Europe, people are happy the way things are.

Of course.

But he gets the coke and the hoes.


There are certainly some.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2810]


No, how things are.

You might notice that the people in this thread from Europe are not advocating for the gun laws to be worsened here.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2810]


Put your crystal ball down.

Opinion has been consistent here for a long time.


Sources?

And will they also explain what happens to franc-tireurs in wartime?

Because they like to show off and have a 'taste' for baubles rather than taking care of the people's money.

Meanwhile, their soldiers eat 40 year old ration packs.

So do our deer. So does wildlife in Poland. Yet we manage this without weak gun controls.


Why?

And in the highly unlikely situation that safety laws are weakened, there will be strict controls, for example not giving them to people with a history of felony, people who've taken Prozac etc for depression and people who haven't been screened by a psychiatrist or psychologist.


From tanks?

You are paranoid and weak.

I do.


Are they a capital city?

How's your state capital for crime, troll?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2810]


I do. Perhaps compare your town with the suburb I live in. Or your state capital with Poland's capital.

We have far less crime.


And it compares well with most European capitals too.

If Jim thinks America is crime free compared to Poland, perhaps he should look at gun crime rates.

It's bizarre to suggest Poland should worsen its firearms laws when they work well.

I can wiggle my ears though.

Hehe.

I've seen that often enough but far more often HWDP especially 20-30 years ago in Warsaw. It was written everywhere; you couldn't avoid it. It was something that stood out when I arrived.

We both understand each other's to a degree however it's worth remembering that when there are five countries, five languages involved in your life then you have to be practical, consistent and also to a degree economical. When communicating in languages that aren't your first is an everyday thing for you and sometimes challengingly annoying then you'd better to pick one and it's the one where both parties are fluent.

Why would we need or want a referendum on a non-issue.

Gun crime is low and we like it thsi way.


There's no reason for any civillian except for a small subset of farmers to have access to them.

We don't want things like this: metro.co.uk/2024/04/22/mcdonalds-customer-sauce-shooting-florida-20697665/?ico=mosaic_tag

Life / Giving tips in Poland [235]


It's also rare (as is tiupping other than rounding up by 10% or so, however as a new phenomenon (anti-worker) that capitalists are exploiting, it's good that the government are preventing it.


Gun proliferation is obviously bad, however surely it's better for workers to receive a good wage rather than depend on goodwill.

I don't see any change coming to the various tipping cultures of Europe.

What's with the spying for China thing? Arrests in your country, in mine, and I think in Belgium. Do you think they were caught at the same time through co-operation?
