When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

If you imagine that the UKs gun-control laws prevent terrorists from obtaining firearms then yes, you do advocate as such implicitly.


Obviously they don't prevent them. What's your point

Maybe that's where a disagreement comes in.


Not to be too much of a dick, but that's likely because one of us has experience with these people and one of us doesn't.

But I also don't think bladed weapons being throughout a book where firearms didn't exist at the time is much of a coincidence.


Of course, but I think you missed my point, which was directed at your specific example and my specific experience.

OK, I get that, but when articulated properly, that is a valid point.

My point is that your argument is based on a poor understanding of gun-control laws and their history. You simply have an opinion and little applicable education to support it.

well could have been a situation in Europe when they couldn't get a hold of a gun due to their strict control policies.

I would argue that your understanding of my argument is poor, because if I asked you what you think my point is, I'd be surprised if you were right

Call it will, call it connections call it availability or funding means, but no I don't think the guy that tried to murder people in the lourve could get a gun when he wanted to.

It isn't, you just can't accept your argument is flawed and lacks a proper understanding of the topic.

If you want a gun, you can find a gun. Anywhere.

but shitty nail bombs and knives are NOT what the terrorists want to use. They want Paris. They want Orlando. They don't want 2-3 people here and there



Ummmm. Wrong. Using nail bombs and trucks are MORE detrimental than guns. Why? Because you're around cars much much more. You look over your shoulder. Much much more. The thought of a bomb being made out of stuff you have at home, or the thought of being run over walking down the street by the 10000 cars that pass rather than the 2 or 3 guns you see.

The use of items we use in our daily lives in unusual ways strikes more fear than a lame old shooting.

If one radical Islamist could do a Paris attack any night of the week what's stopping him?

Why even take the time to put together a shaky fertilizer bomb with trial and error?

I know your point, an unoriginal one that's frequently made by those that know less than they should before making it.

Listen I love to learn, got a lot of people saying "you're wrong" but no one actually explaining a point. Would love to know yours since you've dealt with them more than I have. Or you assume.
