You get your act together before trying to take the piss.


And this means what, exactly???

Maybe I should have added a “/sarcasm” tag to my comment, but I figured my previous statement was rather obvious...And not directed at anyone on this website in particular...

It’s directed to you as you were the last poster in a long line of posters ‘taking the piss’ about what had happened in the UK - the phrase means “to mock” - look the phrase up on the internet and you’ll see that it is british slang.

The point is that, apart from rare occassions such as what happened in Cumbria, our gun laws are good laws. If you follow the link I provided, then you will see that in 2008/9 there were 38 homicides due to firearm offences in England & Wales. A remarkably low number compared with the figure in the USA. So if you doubt the efficacy of British legislation then you provide an alternative and if possible a persuasive explanation for the disparity per head of population.

BTW I’m not advocating gun control in the USA, the sitation on the ground is completly different from the UK - what works for us will not work for you. It looks like you will just have to live (or for thousands of Americans per year, die)with it.
