More potential for accidents with guns than drugs. Your average citizen doesn't keep drugs in his house but keeps a gun... How many people have been shot by toddlers this year? Personally don't think you can compare drug control laws and gun control laws. There will always be people who break...

Yeah unfortunate mistake by Cav... Who has apologised and accepted blame... Interestingly however Viviani did not blame him and said the other rider was to blame. Team Sky are just dominant at the moment... As a Brit I love it and hope for more at the Vuelta starting Saturday :) As for Lizzie...

Really? This is the data for 2009-2013.... Granted the population in America is larger but in those years you had over double the amount of 'rampage shooting' incidents than any other country on that list... Stricter gun laws have restricted the number of incidents across Europe.

Yes I am UK and yes there is a difference in some respects as we have the Terrorism Act.... Boston Bomber was also charged with using a weapon of mass destruction which clearly points it towards terrorism. But in terms of the charges I would point to the Global Terrorism Database as to what is...

Wasn't a mall and again... NOT charged with terrorism so NO it wasn't terrorism. You seem to be very mixed up over what is terrorism and what isn't and keen to label everything that justify your argument as terrorism. I haven't redefined it once... I agree with you that school shootings can be...

O.....k somehow we've got Israel and Palestine into the mix which is a totally different situation. Again the other one is a stabbing not a terrorist attack. By your logic a drive by shooting in Compton where a group of people is sat on a front porch would be a terrorist attack...

From the article: "According NBC Philadelphia, the incident arose after two men got into a fight in the barbershop. An unnamed 40-year-old man fought with another customer then pulled out a gun and started shooting." Clearly this was a fight that got out of hand and unfortunately one man had a...

the charges leveled are the proof... the chap in question was not charged with terrorism. I specifically asked when the last time a terrorist attack was stopped by a civilian with a gun. anyway chaps... its been fun but its home time for me as my work day has ended... may pop back later. like i...

that could change.

I actually agree with you... but they aren't reported or classed as that are they.

That wasn't a terrorist attack it was attempted murderer as he was charged with 'aggravated assault and unlawful use of a weapon'. but if you had a ban on guns in all likelihood he wouldn't of had a gun to attack people with anyway.

i said COULD of been alot worse... did not say it WOULD of been worse. you commented about coloumbine been during the ban and I simply pointed out that no assualt rifles were used there. and as somebody who has lived under terrorist threat for ALL my adult life since before Bin Laden and then...

did I say they were?

to the best of my knowledge no assault rifles were used during columbine... if they had assault rifles given the damage they caused without them then it could of been alot worse. but thinking about it.. since most school shootings are by teenagers who are mad at the world or have mental issues...

so because for 10 years there was no 'measurable reduction in crime' you allowed them again..... probably because of lobbying from the NRA not because you needed them...... after 10 years without was it necessary to allow them again? did life change that much without assault rifles? and what...

please tell me the sarcasm I detect is actually sarcasm.

I don't believe they are much more violent than ours... ours just don't have easy access to guns. We still have small amounts of gun crime but its small because its so much harder to get access to them. I love America and if it was feasible I would gladly move there however I understand you...

Hi All, has anybody else had issues purchasing annual passes online from the UK? I kept getting redirected to the UK site so used a VPN and they would not accept my payment (plenty of funds left on the card and no issue with my bank either)... just curious if its just me! Thanks in advance!

As a Brit this thread has been very enlightening since i am fascinated with (and i mean no disrespect to anybody) what we over the pond see as America's obsession with Guns (I know its a second amendment right and all that) and many of us simply do not understand it since even a majority of our...

thanks everybody!
