Based on this assumption, should British people as result shrug and go, "well, might as well go all the way, throw out every bit of legislation concerning guns lads!".

I have it on good authority that the crown outlawed guns so they could overthrow the masses if the British public ever got too French-ly.

because of the stricter definitions of what's considered violent crime. Under UK law, all "crimes against the person' are considered violent crimes, whereas in the US only aggravated assault and forced rape are considered violent.

Good point. We should really quit inflating the number with rapes. That would reduce our violent crime significantly.

Young people continuing to own bones. WaPo - David Hogg rallies a "die-in" at publix, the protest gets results immediately It's not because they are NEW internet news, or a flashy story, or today's mass shooting to talk about. This is still powerful, and NRA-types continue personal attacks. Why? Hard to argue against a message when it's "sensibility and reason." Assault the messenger.

I know this one! The difference between a semi and a fully automatic weapon is a 5 minutes polishing the mechanism with a q-tip. Or maybe they got a spring installed crooked and it tends to brrrt all the bullets downrange at once. Or they bought a BATF legal "paperweight" (Google that one yourself, I'm not linking it) for $85, filed off the casting marks and dropped it in their AR, making it an illegal full-auto with no NFA registration.

I'm picking on glock here because glocks are notorious for "accidentally" going fullauto over the most minor issues.

Here's a fun passtime: read gunhumper forums for how many times "good guy with gun" does something insanely stupid. My favorite is the cop who dropped his service weapon, made a drunken grab for it by the trigger, and blew a hole in the arm of an 18 month old downstairs. He claimed he "dropped it and it went off", of course, but they always leave out that "tried to catch it" part. 5 posts later a guy defends glock by saying "Yeah, I left a loaded gun in my overnight bag when at a friends house, forgot it was there and threw it hard enough it took a chunk out of the floor. It didn't go off though :downs:"

The best people, who should absolutely be allowed to own whatever killing machines their heart desires.

I don't get why Americans glorify cops. Right now even lily white kids get gunned down by trigger-happy or flat-out idiotic cops for no good reason at an alarming rate, so there should be no demographic left that thinks of cops as anything but the biggest gang on the block.

"You're gunna break it!"

Even if you don't fully disarm the police they shouldn't have service pistols because they'll pull them on literally anyone when they arrive on a scene where they believe there might be a weapon, cell phone or god forbid, minority.

They've been watching too many cop procedurals.

Personally I think we should just round up the gun lovers, stick them in pools with turbines over them, and then tell them their guns are in the process of being taken away. The impotent thrashing and red faces should be enough to create enough steam to power a city.

Yes, because rational people are stating that this would take a weekend. :rolleyes: It will take a generation, at least, to simply get the weapons of war out of civilian hands. That does not mean it's not work worth doing. And a first step to the destruction of the idolatry of weapons.
