You want to know what that bill did?

Clearly they dont.  Seeing as they learn so much about guns but somehow manage to not pick that part up.  It's an intentional ignorance.

In the latter case having an illegally owned handgun would immediately bring up suspicion because we are a paranoid people whose CCTV blots out the sun, and someone illegally holding a gun and showing it to you is obviously trying to get you done in for something / is an OAP who's got bad memory

Well yeah, it's an illegal handgun. Not much good you can do with an illegal handgun. But that right there is what I mean by the cultural attitude.

I don't know many people would be cool with a brick of cocaine but not a handgun who aren't kids, who are cool with everything

Mainiac, stop being such a prick. If you think the whole debate's stupid, then don't post: Simple!


Also, everyone, calm down or I'll be locking this. I have had to send Toady a few post reports already.
