and also my dad owns 2 shotguns.. i have fired both of them..uuhh, Petey is so cooool!!1
Umm.. A real shotgun with bullets which you can kill people with?Maybe it as no bullets. To kill people you have to run after them and beat them ehehe...
ROFL ask a car not shotgun or ipod (( cheap car xD ))I would go for that too...
-.- Americans
kids with shotguns -.-
yes I know I am American. but where I live I dont know any kids with guns

(apart from in Airports, or where the Police came into our School with M4 Machine Guns. :) ):wow: HOLY $H1T :wow:
Protect yourself from bad guys - frankly, I wouldn't want a pile of dead man in my hallway. Whats the likelihood that you could actually get it loaded in time to surprise them anyway? Just hit them with a Baseball Bat or something.What if they have a gun? They can shoot you before you hit them.
Hunt - don't go there.What? hunting is a good hobby, without using guns to hunt, it would be hard to get meat.
Shoot at Targets - You don't need to own a gun to do this, you could do it at commercial places.Why waste your gas and money driving there when you can stay at home popping squirrels with a .22?
Learn to use a gun - Why would you need to?It's a fun hobby
Protect your family - Same thing, hit 'em with the bat!Same thing, what if the bad guys have a gun?
Now, this is coming from the mind of an British person, who doesn't get the concept of using a Gun to shoot someone in defence in your home; so I can't exactly comment on the society of a place where criminals are highly more likely to have a gun themselves.

I thought they used the MP5...?
Well, I'm not exactly 100% sure it was an M4, but I don't think it was an MP5 (it looked more like an assault rifle).
If these are the guys you are talking about, then it's an MP5.

ok ok...ipod, that will probably break eventually or get stolen or something OR you can get a shotgun that you will remember forever!
Actually, you'd be surprised how crappy the courts are for cases like that.
There was a story where a robber was robbing this farmer, the farmer shot him in.. I think it was the leg. The farmer got sued. I think the case actually took awhile, and the robber didn't even hide the fact he was a robber.
Maybe its different in America, maybe every single criminal walks around with a Minigun under their jackets, I don't know, but I'd certainly rather beat the hell out of a robber with a Baseball Bat (if he wouldn't be knocked out easily :D ) than shoot him. And with a Shotgun? Thats one dead man.
Which:
When I was a Child, a scary man came and stole some stuff from my house!
Or..
When I was a Child, a scary man came and so I murdered him (in self-defense!).
Or even better..
When I was a Child, a scary man came into my house. I knocked him out with my Baseball Bat, and he went to Prison. :)

Yeah I agree with Watahell.
The world doesnt get better if we get more guns..
schfifty, out of interest, do you agree with the death penalty?In some cases, I do (a serial killer for instance).
schfifty, you think that having a shotgun means you are fully capable of killing a robber? What about if the robber kills you first?
Reacting to a robbery not only puts you in danger but the people around you too.
What if a stray bullet/fragment hits someone you care about? What if that bullet/fragment comes from your own gun?
Ever thought about that?
But seriously - with any gun, but especially a shotgun, the whole stray bullet/fragment factor is high risk, particularly in a small space.
Can never have enough guns, shoulda got a shotgun, but I live in a rural area of the USA, Maine, I don't know about where you live.. Guns are for fun, not always for death of another human being, find a squirrel, or a crow.

Again...if guns are outlaws, how are we supposed to protect ourselves from the people who do have guns? Are we supposed to cower in a corner while the man steals our precious items? I think not. Simply, if guns are outlawed, only the bad people will have the guns.

thats still evil. why kill an animal?
Have you ever heard about guys that are called cops ?
Oh wait I have seen the US cop chase shows :rofl: Guess you are right...they are worthless so people have no protection at all from guys with guns.
that is quite a conservative view, isnt it?
well, in poorer districts, they feel the impact of this crime a lot more than you probably do.
that is the problem with politicians, they attempt to get to the root of problems and change things, but they generally dont understand what theyre trying to change.
out of interest, is there much gun crime in your area?
Well, I got an iPod nano...
I needed it for running and drumming so I dont mind, My dad said he would get me a gun next christmas anyway.
INstead of a gun now, i have a razor sharp pocket knife in my room so when a guy comes in at night, go jackie chand and throw the knife at him (trust me I know how to.)
ANyways my dad offered me a 20 gauge gun, so that wouldn't do much. ANyways my family already has a gun, so my dad would be first to react.
Off topic, IM training my self how to take a pistol out of a attacker's hands when he points it at you, and its going well.
Oh and to watahell, the world won't get better, it's time to accept that. Our math class (me, this kid, and a teacher.) were debating on how to stop war.
I went strate up and said nuke untill we get our demands :evil:
No nuking in Uk or Europe, im saying Iraq and shit places like that.
For one, I can't say that I do feel the impact of gun crimes...however, I am fairly sure that the people who do feel impact would want to have some protection. Number two, you are calling me a politician because you think I don't understand this matter? So you probably then, wouldn't understand outlawing guns as a liberal politician. BTW, there is not much gun crime in my area, however I live in a town of 10,000 and a lot of those people are old or children. Most people have a gun, but never have to use it.
It's Schfifty Ronnel, not Shifter :lol:
thats still evil. why kill an animal?hypocrite.
hypocrite.
You eat meat, don't you?
i was a vegetarian for 2 years and then i ate some chicken, i stopped eating meat caus it upset me to see an animal get slaughtered so i decided if i don't like that i shouldn't eat meat:DAnimals are not only killed for meat... and besides that we are predators. A lion is much more sloppy in killing than people. ;)
in 2006 there was a voting to decide if guns would be outlawed or not in Brazil. The answer was an utterly uber NO.
The main reason is that there was no point to forbid it to people that follow the laws, while leaving criminals getting those guns illegally. HOWEVER, it's VERY unusual to see a normal citizen in Brazil that has a gun.
I can understand the purpose of having a gun IF you live in a rural area, since it's rare to see the police there, and also hunting there is understandable if you do it for a living or to protect yourself from agressive animals (Which is very rare situation). Hunting for fun/sport is totally against my conception (which of course, is different from other people's) as I think that is one of the factors that contribute to ruin our fauna. Also, think it this way: (this may be really hard): Imagine I'm the hunter and you the animal, I think hunting is fun and I have no respect for your life, and you have to run like hell if you don't want one of the bullets on your ass. Good Luck.
I'm glad you understood my point and made a wise choice. :hurray:
Except... for that last paragraph...
Iraq isn't a shit country. Actually, no country is. All countries have their importance, culture and individuality. No country is superior than another in those aspects. (Maybe importance, but only on some cases).
* Plants have feelings too..
Animals are not only killed for meat... and besides that we are predators. A lion is much more sloppy in killing than people. ;)1. Yes, we are predators. This is the nr.1 reason why I am a vegetarian, and have been since I was 9 years old (yes, my own choice.) I am the only vegetarian in my whole family, and I only know one other vegetarian, but I'm never with her so doesn't count.
* Think of ho many polyesters are killed for one sweater....
* Plants have feelings too.. no more cotton or using fig leaves....
They close european market to brazilian food cause they were molesting the animals too much.
if plants have NO feelings, then why do they respond if you talk to them?Omg...
Abraham, I hope that you are a Vegan, not a vegetarian. Otherwise it is kind of hypocrite.I'm a, I believe it's called... "lacto vegetarian" or something like that.
For instance refusing to eat meat because of farming, but wearing leather, eating fish that are farmed as well or eating eggs.
If you keep it real, my respect to you, it is always good to do what you believe in.
If you are serious about being vegan/vegetarian, check out the Hindu and Taoist food. They have a very long history of not eating meat or even fish, and have great taste and variations of food. As for cheese/butter (as long as you need it) with a little effort you might be able to find a farm where this is produced 'old fasioned' style. While the animals there will still end up on a plate, the small scale makes that the farmers care for the animals better, and the products will taste better as well.
I think it's really wrong of you to accuse me of being a hypocrite, as unlike you or most of the people here I actually try to do my best.

We all live of her salary (Very small, it's just above minimum) so even if I wanted to be a vegan at this time, or eat "good" cheese/butter, I couldn't. Cause we wouldn't afford it :P
we went from talking about ipods, to gun crime, to eating habits. :devroll: lol...One thing leads to another...
the best vegetable is you:Pawwww....
the best vegetable is you:PLook at my avatar stiffler...see the guy with no stomach anymore? He called me a carrot... hehe jk dude...but seriously if you really are going to call me a veggie...which one would I be?
