All violent crime is falling. Homicide actually spiked after the ban on pistols. 608 in 1997 then creaped upwards to 944 in 2002

What do you mean what is the point? Are you simple ? You go to the gun club and shoot targets with it. Same as you do right now with a rifle, or a shotgun. I just got back from shooting about an hour ago.

I despair of your naivety to be honest.

DaGaffer, I can wave around internet links as well as you can

Granted there are ups and downs but the only point of banning legally held hand guns is to stop their owners from shooting people. Something that very very rarely happens anyway.

So a libertarian US website quotes a Daily Mail article from nine years earlier to illustrate a rising crime rate? No massaging of the facts there, no siree bob. The crime rate after Dunblane could rise because illegal guns remained available, but the supply of guns (guns that could be nicked from gun owners basically) was effectively cut off, so you get a lag in crime rate after the ban but then the long-term trend is emphatically down (and NOT higher than it was pre-ban as you claim, certainly not per capita), and since Dunblane, the only multiple murder spree has come from a registered gun owner...

I knew one of you would try the correlation v causation argument. Fuck off, that's bullshit and you know it, because irrespective of an overall fall, the gun crime rate is still down proportionally more, and you only have to compare to other countries to see more guns=more deaths. Everywhere (yes, even "responsible" gun ownership countries like Canada and Switzerland).

Really? Odd that. They are talking about returning to licensed hand guns, exactly the same as it was for decades before the knee jerk legislation after Dunblane. And I suppose you're aware that gun crime has rocketed in this country since the ban are you? No, didn't think so. It's amazing that, because handguns are illegal now aren't they? How can it be happening?

The return of licensed handgun ownership would be a great thing. It would not mean firearms flooding the streets.

I noticed how you dodged the gay marriage question. If you want legal firearms bugger off to the states.

Firearms are already legal you twat, except pistols. I couldn't give a toss about gay marriage.

DaGaffer, the murder rate now is much the same as it was 25 years ago, so what difference did the ban make? None.

That was actually a nice way of calling you a twat, it's all in the interpretation.

So assuming handguns are legalised when are you going to start up that clay pigeon shooting range using nothing but handguns? or going hunting with nothing but handguns?

oh wait a minute

that's right, handguns aren't used for any of that, so why the fuck do you want them legalised?

No, it isn't. Same number, more people, rate is lower.

Gaff, this was made for you:

As I have said before, pistol shooting is an Olympic sport ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics


Honestly, if your suggestion of setting up a clay pigeon range for a pistol is the only use you could think of, you're either trolling or just fucking retarded :(

Or a product of this politically correct country I suppose ...

They should allow handguns to be held legally, though I stand by opinion that for the vast majority of gun enthusiasts they are simply penis extensions, those wankers you meet in the pub who go on about their guns because they think it makes them really cool.

what a load of bollocks, you just want to sit around a table with a bunch of like minded gun nuts bragging about how you've just bought the latest Pistol and now worship it like some sort of pagan god.

Throdgrain: look at my shiney new Glock, isn't she a beaut Alan!
Alan: Pwoar can I touch it Throdgrain, please can I touch it?
Alan: Oh god that feels so good!
Throdgrain: Gorgeous isn't it!

People in enjoying different hobbies shocker.

I enjoy various hobbies as well, those hobbies don't involve the legalisation of something that can and will be used in various murders. I have an opinion, I really couldn't give a toss if you or Thord agree with that opinion, gun nuts = twats by nature.

Like cars and cooking and rifle shooting and camping and carpentry and gardening?

All of which supply something that can be used as a weapon and far more freely available than a pistol.

Put the daily mail down for 5 minutes.

A piece of string can be used as murder weapon, comparing it to a pistol however is just plain stupid as is much of what you listed. Hunting rifles are hard to conceal, pistols can go in your pocket, sock, up your sleeve, bag, glove box in a car (road rage would be interesting then I guess huh?) many other places, see USA for further information on handgun shootings.

What's happened to you recently, it's like you've gone through some spiritual awakening.

I am just tired of the daily mail or Guardian fueled bollocks that people spout. People seem unable to form an opinion of their own. Things aren't always black and white.

Come to think of it, I shudder with fear of the thought when the potential speed limiting black box comes to the UK together with legal pistols.
