    Yes I live in NYC and there is crime, but there is crime everywhere. WTF type of a warzone do you live in that you feel it a necessity to be packing?


    HAHA

    IT isn't a warzone, I guess we just feel the safer the better. I do agree that maybe not everyone should own a gun. It's a huge resposibility and if you have children then that makes it even more dangerous!

    no crime in London either? WOW, you people lucked out!! :)
    Lots of crime, tons of it. I'm in south london too, full of those scary black people you guys feel the need to have guns to defend yourself from. People get caught in gang crossfire and die, just a few streets from my room. Do I pack a gun? NO. Would I pack a gun if the law permitted it? NO. Am I still alive? YES. Who the fuck decided mutually assured destruction was the best way to stay safe these days?

    Actually Austin doesn't have a huge "African American" population. There are a lot of crazies here and they come in all shapes, colors, and genders!!

    I'm not scared of "black" people. I'm fucking scared of EVERYONE!

    how does having crime warrant carrying a gun?
    if someone robbed you or attacked you, would you honestly be able to pull the trigger?
    I wouldn't.

    Only if threatened by a person with a gun!! That is all...you have to be careful!

    I'm sorry, I just cannot and WILL not ever understand the mentality that, if the shit hits the fan then it's ok, cos, y'know, we've got guns. Do you know which demographic constitutes the biggest gun problem in london? Young black males, probably the same as America. You know which demographic constitutes the highest number of gun related fatalities in London (and probably America)? Young black males. (this is not to get back into the race argument, there are reasons why this is the case and it's got bugger all to do with genetics)

    To get all Boyz n the hood on you again :) you live by the gun, you die by the gun. That shit isn't going to happen to me.

    So you agree that it makes no sense for you to own a gun? :confused:

    Never shoot at all hopefully!! You just have it in case some asshole breaks into your home and he has gun and BAM, you are fucking dead!! Over what?? Seriously, my husband and I go to the shooting range once a month because if I have to shoot to defend myself I have to be ready!! It's sad yes, necessary even a bigger YES!!


    You seriously go and practice shooting, so when someone attacks you, you can kill them?

    Holy crap. Do you like sleep with a gun under your pillow?

    I just can't imagine living like that. I live in a huge city. Lots of crime in cities.. I just can't see myself all armed up ready to kill some mofo that attacks me. I think that you are MORE likely to be able to save yourself and get out of a situation if you are not also pointing a gun at someone. Most people want to rob you, to take your shit, not to kill you. If you're pointing a gun at them, and threating to shoot them.. in my opinion, they are more likely to shoot you..

    But hey, to each their own.

    If I'm wary of anyone, it's these gangs of five foot tall, skinny white twats in tracksuits and baseball caps who lurk around street corners.

    Exactly, and those wankers wouldn't know how to get their hands on a gun if their life depended on it. A good old knife and a bottle of White Lightning does the trick.

    Nah, they bite your ankles until you bleed to death, while some gobby little cow films it on her mobile, for Youtube.

    i usually defend myself using the power of awesomeness... although i was drunk last time and some guy attacked me... my awesomeness was in a bar somewhere chatting up a barmaid.. i like that :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
