We were off for a weekends mountain biking. However, they had plenty guns, between them. A weekend in Keilder is not quite the same as a weekend out there lol. |

You should try 3 weeks hiking the Appalachian trail by yourself, the section I did went very close to where Deliverance was actually filmed, I had a little penknife and not much else, surprising the wife wouldnt go with me

I don't know of the source of this information for the graph but may I suggest it is incomplete and inaccurate without a mention of South Africa, which has the highest murder rate of any country with a population greater than 35 million according to UNODC data. If I returned to the U.S to live I would have a firearm again as my folks did without a second thought. If I was in South Africa I would be carrying at all times to protect my family. A total of 17,805 murders were committed from April 2014 to March 2015, an increase of 782 deaths from the year before in a population of 54 million. The U.S by comparison is a haven of tranquility and peace.

I didn't realise the data was selectively supported and restricted to 'civilised' countries but not including eastern European countries. The point I'm making is that the graph only represents a conclusion that the author wants to make. I suppose it has some value if you want to make a comparison between certain dissimilar countries.

The graph show the American average. New Orleans has twice the gun death rate of Columbia.

Look at all those UK folks, afraid of guns. Let me send you some blankets and hot cocoa.
I still have not heard the blood in the streets comment.... The reality is that this legislation has been long overdue, it gives the good people of texas the right to choose how they carry. I have yet to see a gang banger open carry, a good person go on a murderous rampage because tool A was available and not tool B.

I am all for open carry when it's suitable, in fact at times it preferential to concealed. Doubt you will hear a blood in the streets comment, the blood is mainly in people homes, at schools, in cars etc. For what is supposed to be a civilised country, the stats quite simply point to anything but civilised. |

I live in Texas and yes I have my LTC and I carry my weapon almost everyday and almost everywhere I go there is far less crime here especially when criminals know that most people are carrying a gun

I love the US and I've had many great trips there and met lots of great people. However you start talking about regulating the guns and it all gets a bit out of control. I don't understand why sensible people would have a big issue with filling out a few more forms, waiting a little while before you buy your massive hand cannon or machine gun, maybe doing a few training courses and having someone check where their guns are stored? However suddenly they start quoting one part of the constitution that they say is so important but they've failed to pipe up at any point previously when their government ignores loads of other parts of the constitution such as freedom of speech and religion, the right to a fair trial by jury. Madness

Because I own a number of rifles and shotguns (in fact, I've only just put in my application for a new .308 rifle for deer stalking), and know people who lawfully own (and use) pistols too. |

You can legally fire and own 0.5 cal and .308 etc. Some decent ranges for long target shooting. Admittedly some fuckers that use them for hunting can't shoot for fuck all and should be banned, then again some fuckers should not be allowed staplers For info. http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/wp-content/...3_firearms.pdf |
