I'm sure Ed would flip one back.

the flipping the bird is flat out uncalled for. Ed and the boys are up their busting their asses off, giving 110% the entire night. No need to be disrespectful and give a finger gesture because of your anger issues. :thumbdown:

Your whole attitude "I'm buying these guns to protect my family" is pretty f**ked up and wrong. The more you buy them for protection, the more innocent bystanders get killed.

Way more people die from smoking (uhem , Ed) then guns each year. Plus you're harming other people and the environment polluting the air I breathe. But hey, that's OK, right.

Im no gun owner, but stupid people do stupid things. If you smoke, youre stupid. How many people stand up and say?, "I want to thank God for this Nobel Peace Prize, but really I owe it all to the Marlboro Man and his cigarettes, without smoking I would have been nowhere." Is there a health benefit from smoking?

Our constitution allows guns. Im for tougher gun laws, but no law is gonna stop brotha man from buying his gun in the hood. Or using it either. No one wants school massacre or kids shot, but if someone wants to do it, they will find a gun whether its at Wal Mart or on the streets.

(Sorry, nothing personal to all you smokers here)

you realize we live in a country of more than 300 million people. no system of back ground checks or flags can be perfect. no matter what, people who shouldn't have guns get them. it's the 1% that ruin it for the rest of us.

So the United States lives by a document that was created in the late 1700's...it's not perfect but it is a living breathing document that can be changed as time progresses. I couldn't be prouder of the freedoms we have in this country. When is the last time the world looked upon the leadership of Ireland to lead through any sort of crisis? You might not like our laws and our constitution but be it republican or democrat, we have the greatest country in the world. People are jealous of it and die to try to get here.

and derry is officialy Londonderry. We both know it's officially in northern ireland. Trust me, I know about the "troubles" that occured in Ireland. I guess the troubles are over huh? http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/eur ... story.html[/quote]


- so does that mean that you shouldn't have any.

- is it always the 1%? or is it the culture that produces them?

- now this is where size comes in to play, people look to america for solutions because it is powerful, not necessarily because it is better than anyother country.

-some people would die to get here, just like a lot of people would die to get to western europe. this point also depends on what you define as great. if you mean its most powerful country, then sure yeah. but if you mean its the best place to raise a family. to grow old, etc then you are wrong

Yea and they are draconian you are living by rules made 300 years ago, thats daft, It'a derry to man and using that as an example shows how little you know about the troubles. In the 40 years of war in the north 3000 people died compare that with america in 2012 where 10,078 people died via guns. The deaths by guns in ireland since we have had peace is double figures yearly so you tell me which country has matured, there was a political violent war here.[/quote]

You sound very insular. A lot of the world do not view the US as the greatest country in the world, I am very pleased you are proud of your country and I have enjoyed my time whenever I have visited but it is only your opinion that it is the greatest country in the world.

Back to the topic, may I ask what is the need for automatic and semi automatic weapons in the us?
Also may I ask if other countries have tightened their gun laws and seen a reduction in gun deaths, why do people think that a similar result would not be achieved in the US?

A large portion of the world really do not understand how the US can continue to have the gun problems that it does and not do something about it.

Thing is you country lives in fear you think you have freedoms, you can't even have 'happy christmas' you change it to happy holidays. Ireland is neutral we do not participate in wars unlike america who start wars invade countires and murder children in Pakistan with drone strikes, we look upon you as the bully of the world and you sound like the typical brianwashed flag waving yank that spews the line 'we are the greatest country in the world' I would not be proud of a country that treat your sick the way it does and doesn't offer free healthcare.
Again I don't think you know anything about the war here, I call it derry it was the british who added the london part to it why would I recognize an additive by them, yes the war is over the IRA have got rid of their weapons there are a few people who don't want to move on but again I'll stress killings by guns here is extremely low unlike the US last year 12,078 yea that's a great number to be proud of.

Hey Ed.... is it ok for your bodyguard to have a gun but not me?

Then you have also misinterpreted what Ed is saying.

I am amazed at how much this theme pervades this thread.

Not to be a hippie, but trade guns with flowers... Make love not war etc. etc. etc. And lets face it, the first is much more fun than the latter.

One comment on hunters: They're not sportsman. You ever that term? Sportsman. Peyton Manning is a sportsman. You're shooting animals is what you're doing. And that's fine with me. My buddy kills deer all the time and serves us up the dear meat on football Sundays and it's delicious. And the less deer there are to run out in the middle of the road while I'm driving the better. But it's not a sport. If the deer had a gun too, that'd be a sport. A bunch of hunters in the woods shooting at each other....that'd be a sport. But shooting animals is just that: shooting animals. It's not a sport.

very well said

I think you should make a big poster telling ed why you are flipping him off. I think there will be a lot of people giving him the finger just because of how bad the new album is and he won't be able to differentiate between you and them.

If you do not want to comment that is fine, with your comment on requesting people to 'kill' this thread you have made it go top. If you really believe in democracy you will allow it to go on as long as people want to debate.
