If the speed limit is 55 mph, shouldn't we only make cars that can go that fast as a maximum speed? Cars that are faster should be locked up and only used at professional races on the weekend by professional drivers. That would save thousands of lives a year.

hmmmm....maybe I should start a activist organization called Automotive Control Inc. and call for the ban of all cars that can go faster than 55 (70 in some states). We also need a seven day waiting period on purchases of cars so that we can do the background check to see if the driver has ever gotten a ticket (although this information can be obtained instantly by any policeman). I also feel the need to force every driver to put a boot on the tires of his car every time he parks it, so that it can't be used by an unauthorized person. Then I'm gonna sue every car manufacturer for every wreck that has ever happened because it is their fault that each of these wrecks occurred. The driver behind the wheel will have no responsibility for an accident in my perfect world. He is a victim of the evil automotive companies, who seduced him into driving this car through their advertising and mind control.


hmmm....where is my list of Congressmen.... I've got to start writing letters.

have you ever gone out shooting? It can be a fun and safe sport. Ripping off a 30 round mag is a blast. Who says handguns fire slower than a semiauto rifle? You dont have any knowelge about what you talking about.[/quote:1c5f5]


Glochs are mad fun to shoot. I got a shell casing right in the fucking eye though.

Goddamn that's an ignorant statement if ever I saw one. Our gun laws are similar down here to the UK, and I'll tell you what: It's fucking sweet. Cops don't even need to carry guns. There's pretty much no gun crimes at all.

Ok, let me jump in since i live in the US. While it's true we have our share of "gun" murders, it's not as insane as one would believe. As far as i know, fully automatic weapons are illegal here in the states. Only law enforcement and military have full auto. Again, i could be wrong about that but i'm almost sure it's illegal for citizens to own such weapons.
Here in New York, the gun laws are probably one of the strictest in the country (I believe Washington DC is the toughest). In order for an average NY resident to own a firearm, they must apply for a permit....wait 6 months for the process, pay for 3 sets of fingerprints to be taken, and have your background checked. After all that, you get your lil' piece of paper saying you can now "own a gun" and can only carry it concealed TO & FROM an authorized firearms range. Thats if you didn't get a "business carry" license (which even more stuff is required...business license, bank notes...etc)
Now, you have your license and it's time to purchase your handgun. Well, forget about going to "Sports Authority" or "Wall Mart" like you were able to do some years ago (The liberals took care of that for us !!) You now need to go to an authorized firearms dealer. Ok, you go there, pick out your "insert maker here" and put a deposit on it. Now, you have to fill out paperwork to give to the agency that issued your license. So, you leave the gun store and go to the "Pistol license section" to show them (on paper) what you would like to purchase. They go over the paperwork and give you a "purchase order" (which you have to pay for!) that allows you to buy the gun. Now, back to the gun store with said purchase order. Ok, in the gun store you fill out more papers and fully pay for your gun. It's yours right?...no, not so fast. You now have 10 days to RETURN to the pistol license section to have the gun completely registered on your permit so........back to the pistol license section to have them man handle your new machinery and type the info on your permit. NOW you can go home with your new gun.
Seems a bit of a pain eh? The problem we have here in NY is the "black market". People aren't shooting themselves with registered guns, it's guns purchased from other states with laxed laws or stolen guns.
I have 3 registered handguns and haven't purchased that beloved .45 because it's, 1. a $1000 gun i want, and 2. The process is such a pain in the ass.


The world is my urinal

You didn't need to post the definition of Ignorant. I know it, and I still standby what I said.

I'm seriously lmfao at this...You think our rights are under threat? Anyone that knows about my country will understand just how nieve that statement is. Proven fact my ass.

....and our cops carry guns in squad cars but don't walk around the streets with guns in holsters unless they're experienced or of certain rank....

Under these rules we don't have any "accidents" where people are shot 40 times for reaching for a wallet by a bunch of rookie cops with itchy trigger fingers...
Cops aren't infallible superhumans. They make mistakes too. It's alot harder to make a fatal mistake when you don't have a gun.

The cops don't need 658678676876 guns because there are VERY few criminals that have access to guns...If that's because of our strict gun laws, who knows....(I'm guessing it is)...

Anyways, as soon as the word "firearm" even enters any kind of call to police, the "armed to the teeth" cops come, The Armed Defenders Squad (Our SWAT equivelent). They rarely need to enter the situation.

...Also, when our criminals have firearms, it's usually antique rifles, hunting rifles or shotguns/sawn offs....And unless you have a huge muther fucking trenchcoat, it's pretty hard to conceal a big fucking musket...Let alone do any damage with it.

We manage pretty well, with around 40 - 60 homicides a year for the ENTIRE nation. I don't even know how many of those would be firearm homicides....Probably no more than 20.... I feel pretty damn safe.

rofl @ rights under threat....
hahahahahahahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha... ..I would laugh in your face if you said that to me in person....


Now I'm not criticising the U.S here, Instead I'm pointing and laughing at the idea/proposition of the same gun laws being employed in ALREADY "gun safe" places such as the UK, Aussie, NZ, etc....

its much easier here, go to the police station. Pay $10 for purchase permit. Go buy handgun. Take handgun back to police station where they double check serial numbers and then go home with your new handgun. For rifles and shotguns you go to gun store, wait for "instant check" (this has taken up to 3 hours for me) and walk out with your new rifle or shotgun. If you want to carry you need to apply for a permit and wait. Michigan is a "shall issue" permit state. If you have no criminal backround and have gone to your CCW class you get a permit. Since the "shall issue" permits have become availble crime has dropped. NOT ONE person with a permit to carry has commited a crime.


PS there are full auto guns in some privite citizens hands but the permits are almost impossible th get. There has NEVER been a legally registered fully automatic weapon used in a crime EVER in the US
