"Ms Peters, an Australian, told him that good and bad people only exist in the movies"
This is a very revealing remark which explains this lady's problem. I wonder if Mr. LaPierre also pointed out that it was armed citizens who persuaded King John to sign the Magna Carta?
It's incredible how far disconnected the leftists are from reality. It amazes me every time I see it, even though I've seen it countless times.
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.
I've been looking for a conservative British forum, do you know of one?
"Many of the British pro-gun audience members were sport shooters. One of them told her that he had a great deal of firearms experience, and no criminal record. He wanted to know why she was trying to take his gun and ruin his sport."
What a sheep! How about his RIGHT to self-defense against criminals and an abusive government? If a gun owner speaks like this, it is proof that the indoctrination has worked. I pity England, it is but a hollow shell of what it once was.
"Ms Peters was very arrogant and patronising at this point, and told him that there were plenty of other sports to choose from!"
My head nearly exploded when I read that quote. I'm afraid that if I'd been there, I'd have been dragged out of that hall by a bunch of cops. That kind of arrogance, that kind of a patronizing attitude, is EXACTLY the kind of behavior that the 2nd Amendment is designed to prevent (or end) when it is displayed by a government official toward the people. What is next, deciding where you can live, what food you can eat, what jobs you can take, etc.? [insert Dean Scream].
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.
Officers from the Mets Operation Trident, which specialises in black-on-black gun crime, are investigating.
Morons exist in real life too.
