Guns at home

[Rodbouy]

Based on the decent discussion on the Gun laws of the US.

If given the option would you

Accept having guns at home for self defence

or

Ban guns from being able to be kept at home

Just a poll as we have another thread for that discussion.

Am really in conflict wae this one Rodders,, i voted no because if guns were allowed that easily then there would be a body count in most rough areas every Friday night and it would be taking another step towards the American way.
On the other hand, if some piece of scum decides to break into your house then a think your entitled to deal with it your way.

Take the Tony Martin case.
Tony Martin (farmer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This guy lived in terror and was burgled approx 10 times, he went to jail because he fired on the intruders as they were running away with their backs turned.
A think it was a disgrace that he went to jail, if i had been done 10 times there would be ~~~~in bazooka pointed at the door.
A remember attempting to take a burglars head off with a nine iron many moons ago, the fear running through you generates a helluva lot of anger and can turn your average guy into a ranting maniac in seconds.
You think of your families safety and a switch in your head flicks, from then on you are not accountable for you actions.
The law says you can use reasonable force to restrain them, i say you hit the b****** till he's unconscious.

After 10 times a have no idea what must have been going through Martins head, these people drove this old man to a point of rage where he fired 3 shots in the dark and one died.
The law should have accepted or taken into account his mental state and the fact he went to prison was wrong..

Now that's a case where i support the guy with a gun, but lets face it, if a gun was allowed in every house it would be mayhem.
People would abuse them and before you know it hospitals would be full of domestic cases with partners missing toes or other bits of their bodies.
You would need to arm the police, you couldn't expect a cop to address a drunk person waving a gun with harsh language and a truncheon.
Guns should only be allowed in the hands of professionals or sportsmen who know the potential danger of such a weapon.

that is not the full story tho hoppy m8

first up the gun was not licenced and he had no legal authority to be in possession of one.he had been previously banned from owning one after threatening a neighbour some time before killing (legal terminology) the burglar.

i vote no.

[super jumbe]

I voted no guns are very lethal.

A know he was no Angel fella, he was a strange fruit and the house did look derelict but when a saw the clowns that were trying to rob him my sympathy for them vanished.
Am gonna have a look at this Youtube video, a missed it when it first came out..

[gc1966]

agreed,he was certainly a strange fruit

there was a lot of sympathy for him at first regardless of the way he looked and how he appeared to live,if memory serves me correct the fact that he had an illegal shotgun with no licence only came out after several weeks and the fact that he had threatened his neighbours resulting in the revoke of his permit took even longer to hit the news.

so,it transpired he was as much a criminal in the eyes of the law as the scum he decided to dirty harry.

interesting how the truth is conveniently dumbed down to paint a picture.

The poll is aimed at the US policy where you can keep a gun for self defence.

We would be there all day asking specifics of personal gun use.

hence why 2 poll option.

It's a 1 poll option.. You didn't give the option in favour of guns..

[Rodbouy]

my god you should work in government

Wish I did, Id try ban them completely

the two choices seemingly being

are you a namby pamby liberal

or not?

Thats some assumption based around one poll.

You do hellava well for not being pro gun.

Thing is ppl like you when it came to it, would prob shit them selfs to even fire a shot at some one in the heat of such a confrontation.

Wonder if if you be a namby pamby liberal or not when you had to be !!!!
