  1. GardenState2012 apart from being wrong - you're wrong. Having shot my SMLE all morning....

  2. How fascinating! Are the British better shots? Ah yes I see your edit, and your lack of medical knowledge is at the same level as your crime rate knowledge. Please see posts below re comparative murder rates crime rates and murder by firearms rates to educate yourself.

  3. You go get your machine gun /assault rifle etc to 'defend' yourself and be democratically happy then but I'll bet my boots our murder rate is somewhat lower than yours.

  4. Robert, an emergency surgeon will tell you that any wound's severity depends on its size location etc not just the mechanism that caused it. I have not stated that one type of wound is more dangerous than another, simply because of such variables.  My first point to Mr Obama is firstly that his allegation that there is more violent crime in Europe than (I am guessing) in the USA is poppycock. My second point is that for someone who claims to be a medical professional,  their knowledge is as questionable as their spelling and criminological research (eg a 'full body laceration' - a term I guess they invented...)

  5. Intentional homicide in western Europe is about a quarter of that in the USA. And you claim to be a medical professional? I wouldn't like you treating myself then as gunshots, especially high velocity or high energy ones are very complex compared to blade penetrations.  I'll leave it there.

  6. I know - this was simply about gun control in the UK and western Europe having a significant and notable affect on public safety. Then we have people saying that we're all killing each other with knives and clubs instead, and cuts are more dangerous than firearms injuries. Good old www - lets you pretend to be anyone you want to be!

  8. Stick to singing Johnny, you make a poor criminologist.....

  9. +Richard Maunder Handguns are banned in all of the UK*; a few are owned on a Section 5 ticket for very specific purposes, and this is nationwide, not on a regional basis. So could you share the source of your information - or I will be tempted to think you are making things up. I am ready for your pithy response and looking forward to seeing you spell some four letter words correctly. *Edit - I neglected to say Northern Ireland has its own system.

  10. Tiger Custardman Tiger - I see Richard's posts seem to have vanished; will he have removed them himself or is there active moderation here? Maybe he's calmer now I hope...

  11. +Barack Hussein Obama II By all means clarify it for us then if my reply is based on a misunderstanding; my apologies if this is the case.

  12. Barack Hussein Obama II as per several posts on this thread, the statistics are quite clear. That's speculation is it?

  13. pancholom and additionally the issues around machining costs etc would have been dealt with if it had gone to mass production. It's slightly odd to criticise this when modern equivalents sport scopes, lasers, night sights etc - you want the best or the cheapest?

  14. Ritchie Wolf Sure - procurers always try to get the best deal for their £, and I have never said that cost isn't a factor. I mean it in the sense that these cost differences between one weapon and another are small change; the major cost of a personal infantry weapon per year comes from ammunition expenditure. I wasn't clear - hope this helps
