flamingjimmy   10 #181 Posted January 26, 2012 UK heading for Iran http://www.presstv.com/detail/222823.html Could we see another False Flag to start yet another great war? http://www.presstv.com/detail/222823.html  Firstly, you know you've linked to the same thing twice right?  Secondly, it's press TV, the entirely state run and controlled Iranian propaganda network.

Harleyman   12 #182 Posted January 26, 2012 That's exactly what did happen in the UK with the introduction of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997.  I'll bet all the dealers and homeboys fell over themselves to hand theirs in like good little citizens after that passed.

Cyclone   10 #183 Posted January 26, 2012 I'll bet all the dealers and homeboys fell over themselves to hand theirs in like good little citizens after that passed.  No, it was a stupid law that was only ever going to take guns away from the law abiding who used them for target shooting. On the other hand, there are a lot less guns on the street in the UK than the US and a far lower rate of gun crime, so simply handing them out to anyone who fancies it clearly isn't a good approach either.

History just repeats itself. America will not stop until it has control over everything.  Iran next.  Maybe if and when Iran does block the Strait of Hormuz then we should just let them do it. Perhaps when you can no longer get your car filled up and bus and train fares double you'll be singing a different tune.  We'll feel the effects in the US as well in the form of rising prices at the pump but we'll still be able to get our petrol supplies which is more than you will.  Go buy yourself a pair of stout walking shoes and be prepared in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Harleyman   12 #189 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) No, it was a stupid law that was only ever going to take guns away from the law abiding who used them for target shooting. On the other hand, there are a lot less guns on the street in the UK than the US and a far lower rate of gun crime, so simply handing them out to anyone who fancies it clearly isn't a good approach either.  There's no harm in a law abiding citizen having the right to own a gun. It's just a matter of common sense laws being in place when guns are purchased.  In California there is a three day waiting period before the gun can be picked up. During that time the prospective buyer's name is submitted to the FBI's main data centre and local police agencies for a criminal background check. There is also a written test on basic firearm safety to be taken and passed by the buyer.  You are also required to have that gun officially registered in your name  The UK is in a strange situation when it comes to firearms. A police officer answering a call to go to a high crime area to deal with an incident is expected to go there unarmed whereas there may be a number of people in that area who own guns illegally. Not a situation I'd care to be in. Edited January 26, 2012 by Harleyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

fake   10 #192 Posted January 26, 2012 One word that seems to be missing from the debate is alleged as there is no proof whatsoever that Iran are actively developing nuclear weapons. Its all just propaganda and guesswork.  They do not have the capacity or technology in place to enrich uranium enough for use in any bomb and even if they did it would take many more years to do so. Another point that has already been made is in order to do any damage to Israel, or any other country, they would need several high yield bombs to do so otherwise its Iran that would be wiped out.  Even with the resources and money available to the Manhattan project it took the US several years to get enough uranium enriched for just one simple low yield bomb.
