The strange thing is, my real name is Francis.
The crime rate in England is much higher than in the US. Anything not nailed or screwed down in England usually gets stolen and even a lot of the nailed down stuff. The theft rate in England is astounding. The assult and burglary in England is very, very high."""
Crime in Ms Peters home country, Australia, has skyrocketed since they took guns away down there. Lurkers from there need to address this with up close and personal with FR.
Actually, she's been O/S, working for Goerge Soros, long enough to be considered (like Peter Singer) to be an American.
any of you homos touch my stuff, and i'll kill you.
any body calls me francis, and i'll kill you.
I can kill with a rolled up newspaper or a ball point pen or even my bare hands.....I would venture to say that those instruments were not designed to kill, but could given proper human intent.
She errs in this manner. The purpose of a gun is to put a small chunk of lead exactly where you intend for it to go. Be that through a piece of paper, an animal or a human.....the key is the intent of the user.
Wrong. Guillotines and electric chairs are for killing people. That is why you don't see them in the backs of police cars.
But you do see police carrying firearms. Why? Because guns are the most effective tool for confrontations which could turn violent. As long as the police have access to a pistol for everyday carry then the law-abiding citizen should have the same access.
To say that guns are for killing people - and implying that they are only for killing people - is like saying that a blender is only for mixing alcoholic drinks. The way people like Peters have stretched this argument is like saying "Why do you need a blender if you don't intend on getting drunk and running over a lot of innocent people?"
Yes, I know the old saw "guns make it too easy to commit crime". Well, I grew up in Texas and have lived out west for most of my life and not a single gun owner I know has ever commited a crime with a gun. Just because a blender makes it too easy to mix up alcohol into a concoction that COULD lead to drunken driving does not mean the prevalence of blenders has any impact on drunken driving.
Sorry on how that came out - this was my first post and I thought the "Tag Line" came out on top of the post...
It was supposed to read:
"Guns are for killing people..."
WRONG.

Morons exist in real life too.
That is an argument well made. It exposes the paradox that resides within gun control logic. A "Socrates", Rebecca Peters is not. Good post.
Interesting site. I miss "FreeBritainia.uk"
I always like "FreeBritainia.uk" did it just end?
