I am sorry, I thought it was okay when inside the EU parliament the speakers were telling the MEPs that those EVIL KALASHNIKOVS are used right at this moment, but I guess standing on top of the dead is okay if it is for your team

There were a thousand different ways you could've made your posts, and the one you picked makes it blindingly obvious that you put disgustingly higher priority on gun control than you do on the actual terrorist attacks and the people that died in them. Take that attitude elsewhere or elsewhen.

Hey, I know exactly where you're coming from. If a personal freedom you have gets removed due to some lovely terrorist attack and in no way a fault of your own, it's always lovely (that kind of poo poo is what makes terrorists actually win, if you ask me), but holy poo poo is your excuse for wanting to have a gun dumb, and possibly more importantly, can you at least wait until such a proposal even exists in the first place? I don't have much faith in this world but even I think nothing is going to happen to your lovely gun collection.

The proposal exists and is actually going through the motions in the parliament, they were discussing it during the arrests in Brussels earlier, and even used those arrests as a context for the ban.

Its not the time. Wait until those politicians actually open their mouth.

Agreed, I am sorry in the way I brought it up.

Isn't the Finnish containment zone thread pretty much meant for this? Take your awful poo poo there.

I mean Jesus loving Christ dude, how you manage to take a terrorist attack in Belguim and make it about militias in Finland is beyond me. I'm happy Finland doesn't have a latent terror problem, but it sure as gently caress isn't because the islamists are afraid of a bunch of hillbillies with AKs.

Not a militia and not just about Finland, as Finland is not the whole EU.

I do place personal freedoms higher than terrorist attacks, but I did bring that out in a bad way, I had posted about the gun ban earlier in this thread.

I thought all the replies ITT were about the latest attack, and thought: "*sigh* Figures...let's see how the thread handled it..."

And I come in to find a Finnish hillbilly derailing it into a one-man stand to advocate his gun rights.

Just stop posting. Don't reply to this post, just zip it. Or, like others said, take it to the Finnish containment zone, if you really must bitch about this. You can extrapolate it onto the EU in there just fine, I'm sure.

Following the EU gun ban process, yes, absolutely this will be used, just like the arrests days before we're used. The whole process has been locked due to opposition by countries like Finland and others, and the compromise suggested by the chairman country Netherlands was to ban something, anything, just decide on what to ban, nothing that is based on facts or actual research, just fear and feelings. Besides that, the Finnish constitutional court has already declared earlier when we had our school shootings which led to tightening of gun laws here, that there is no need to tighten them further. And I am just going to laugh at your remark of a small militia, maybe do some research first, or do you consider an army of 230 000 active reservists plus non-active and second tier conscripts to be small? I do not look for a chance to relive Winter War, it is about deterring it, hth.

Piss off. Your guns suck, your hobby sucks, your concerns suck, ergo you suck. If all gun nut "hobbyists" need to melt down their weaponry and that gets us peace and harmony and all that kumbaya poo poo then that's a sacrifice you'll have to swallow.

Go away. In fact, hang on, I can fix this

The gun directive started out great actually, it was going to bring gun parts, deactived guns and starter guns more inline inside the EU as a whole, only after Paris did they stack on whole bans on semi-automatic guns and going after collectors.

The guns used in Paris and most likely what the guys had in Belgium originate from the Balkans and most were purchased from company called Kol Arms in Slovakia, where they deactivated them, but this, unlike deactivations in other countries, only was done so that the barrel was welded shut, the guns can be made working again after changing the barrel. The original directive would have dealt with them. Instead now you have fear based legislation that does nothing but hurt legal owners and in Finland's case the training of reservists. I posted earlier in this thread about what the directive entails with the associated links.

IN OTHER NEWS, and not only because I can't loving brook gun debates spilling in threads where they are irrelevant, the French Cour de Cassation (highest court there is in matters of justice, in short) has just validated the legality of the wiretaps on Nicolas Sarkozy's phone conversations with his lawyer in which he discussed his plans for peddling influence for the benefit of a judge of that very Cour de Cassation, in exchange for insider info on some other affairs.
This is a severe blow for him, and will hopefully take him out of the presidential election. loving crook.

For what it's worth he's probably fistpumping right now because there is literally no other news than the Brussels attacks on TV today, even though news of the ruling would have been the first thing out of Pujadas's mouth on any other day.

Small potatoes dude. And they come armed with actual military weapons, not whatever AK they could scrounge up.

But at the end of the day: They are not coming, and here you are whining about your loss of gun rights over a terrorist attack. Its not the time, and its not appropriate.

Actually a good response. It's sad a couple dozen people got bombed, but all of Europe making GBS threads itself and making life suck more than necessary for three hundred million people is the wrong response to terrorism aka a method used by losers to have disproportionate effects on their victims.

Sorry, what I had in quotes was a notorious response from some gun fanboy in GBS after another mass shooting in the states.

Though that works too!

I don't think abolishing civil liberties as a response to something that resembles a natural disaster is a reasonable response. These things just happen occasionally nowadays, and there is precious little to be done about it.

Keep pigs in the all the metro stations and airports in the country. Charge money for petting them to finance the pigs, Kids pet for free.

In fact, everyone should keep pigs and have them around at all times. What about these micro pigs, that George Clooney keeps as pets? We should ask him where he got these micro hogs.
