Just curious?

[Dano Sverige]

As far as i know New York, Chicago and D.C. are fairly big places, which i assume contain lots of law abiding citizens?

So...why did THEY all give up their guns without this much talked about rebellion, unlike the rest of you "cold dead fingers" folks?

(Let's try keep this to sensible and practical comments please!)

You need to justify your statement.

Offer some evidence of everyone giving up their weapons.

I've not seen that happen.

The one's that did were frisked and taken away. Would you say not with a Question.

Dano, have you ever been to any of those places? I can just about guarantee that their fingers were cold if they were standing outside. I think they pried them out of their "cold frost bitten fingers."

I don't think they did......

LOL! Washington D.C. full of a lot of law abiding citizens That's a good one Dano.....If I laughed any harder you would have heard me all the way in sweden LOL!!! It's full of politicians.....

 

[releventchair]

Not likely those who kept them would advertise.

 

[Dano Sverige]

So, apart from D.C. which is obvious apparently...All law abiding citizens in Chicago and NY still have their guns, just failed to hand them in?

 

[releventchair]

C,mon Dano,how would anyone have a figure on that. When did anyone hand any in? "All" law abiding citizens. Seriously,good luck measuring with any accuracy who ever owned a gun let alone who is law abiding. Keep your gun ,join the non law abiding on equal terms when they break in, then not have gun after. now your law abiding,right?.his partner shot em i guess,it was dark. He shot right by me.

So all the decent folks didn't hand in their guns when the gun bans were enforced in these cities?

Hey Dano..... Is it true that most of the Bobbies (cops) in England still do not carry guns?

No Dano... everyone didn't turn in their guns. Most of the guns turned in were rusty, junk, or left over when grandpa died and they simply didn't want them anymore. The government bought a bunch of junk, and stuff from people who were stuck with a firearm they didn't want anyhow. The government gave them an easy opportunity to exchange the unwanted guns for cash, no questions asked.

Now then Dano, what is your obsession with us on this side of the pond?

Hey Dano..... Is it true that most of the Bobbies (cops) in England still do not carry guns?

Yup! Very true mate.

Ok G.I.B...let me try to explain this once again (I get asked this a lot and explain best i can). It's not so much an "obsession" as more a "hobby", much like metal detecting. Sometimes i go out a lot - Swedish summer beaches FTW! Sometimes i go out rarely - Long dark very cold Swedish winters and snow!
I go when i feel like going and it's the same here. I joined this site when i was first into detecting to see how you lot over the pond went about it. Minded my own business on here and just looked around, but then another Brit' member asked me to back him up in an argument on some thread or other, so i did. After that thinks seemed to snowball fast - "Ohh come to the "politics forum" Dano. Naw, i hate politics sorry. Oh c'mon it'll be fun!" So i went for a looksee.
I forget the details now but someone ended up throwing the usual "we kicked your ***!....we saved you speaking German!" rubbish, so i pointed out just how wrong he was (In those days we didn't have to worry about trivialities like "personal insults" or "Tnet ToS"....miss those days lol)....Many more Americans got on my case over time, and the rest as they say..is history!

I enjoy the banter, bickering and international rivalry here, but also during arguments stuff will get said and i'll go off and research/learn what i can about that subject if it interests me enough. An example being someone going on about the battle of bunker hill (think it was RJC)...something i knew little about so went off to read up on it.Now i'm a little wiser! I do this with subjects that crop up all the time, i believe it helps me to try understand American mentality, beliefs, feelings and the like.
I enjoy learning....i enjoy a bit of rivalry....i enjoy meeting new friends and new enemies...this site helps me with all of those and probably more. So.....That's why i come!
Hope it's helped?

I see. So in reality everyone in NY, chicago and D.C. basically ignored the gun bans and kept all their guns! Which means all the stuff TH and the gun club throw around about how banning guns has no effect and just disarms decent law abiding citizens the right to defend themselves, That's why the crime and murder rate is so high!....is all false and total rubbish because those folks STILL HAVE their guns!

Ok, i got it now thanks.

Mods can lock the thread now please.

Are you really like this or do you practice?

 

[G.I.B.]

Your signature makes it look like an obsession/political statement for a country with in which you don't reside, nor have any other connection to, sans the internet.

And no, I don't think you will ever actually 'get it' by basing everything you know from the internet.

Come on over, live here for a while. Then be critical of us. (which is another freedom)

Alcoholism amongst women in Sweden has increased by an astonishing 50 percent in the past 4 years.

Then you have people like Mittias Flink and Thomas Quick, and lets not forget about Anders Breivik.

There are a lot of issues on your side of the pond, but you focus a lot of attention on our side.

~ come on over. Learn our culture first hand, you can even become a politician and change our laws you don't like.

Dano is more than obsessed, this is why he bashes every chance he gets. Must be miserable to live that way.....

He is surrounded by gorgeous swedes in bikinis....maybe not so miserable. What are we doing wrong?

You are laboring under a false impression. No one asked or made anyone turn in their guns. We are all allowed to have as many as we wish. However, it requires a permit to carry a loaded one in public. The fear some have is anticipating a law that bans gun ownership.
