My answer - probably would be to gub whoever tried to steal my purse. But that’s not a sustainable solution and would eventually lead to someone killing me, as eventually someone will need a gubbing but they’re tooled up.
I gave you a middle ground and you turned it down and didn't offer any of your own middle grounds even when asked.
So your concern is that we would slip and slide to everyone having guns?
Oh we are now onto ad hominem
. At least the other guy managed to last longer before throwing personal insults.that has to be a consideration does it not? unless you'd be happy in a society akin to americas where pretty much any half wit can own a gun?
nothing ad hominem about it. quite simply put, if we got the society you think you want, where joe public can just go round shooting people for purse snatching then the sane people will be sat at home crying their eyes out afraid to open their doors because the streets will be filled with armed idiots. you're talking about a society similar to the old wild west - you're off your head if you think that's going to be a fun place to live.Oh we are now onto ad hominem
Reading comprehension not your forte?
Accept that's not what happens in countries where it is every man for themselves and AFAIK thats not what happened during the wild west either. So I have no idea why you would come to that conclusion.
Yeah i am. If the police won't do their job then the people should be given the tools to defend themselves. Its not like the criminals in this country don't already own guns.
so you're advocating for a lawless society - sounds very much like it. sane people don't want to live in that sort of society.
say what you want to say, it won't offend me nor will i take it as an insult because i know what you will be doing and where you'd be be in the society you think you want.
Hyperbole really is the word of the day. You have no idea what a lawless society is and people having guns doesn't lead to a lawless society. But criminals going around robbing anyone they please without fear of reprucussions does lead to a lawless society. I think california is currently experiencing that problem
i may not know what a completely lawless society is like but having lived through the troubles in northern ireland i've plenty of experience of a society where violence is or rather was relatively common place.
i'm certainly not trying to act like your best bud, but experience tells me that people so glib almost blase about guns and violence usually have never experienced either. my apologies if that's not the case and you're actually quite the 'big fella' but i'd bet good money your not.
So after I call you up on this weird parasocial relationship with me you have going on, you decide to bring up your personal life that has nothing to do with what I said.
I'm not glib or blase about guns or violence. So.....
A rare treat for all concerned, I’m sure.
He means you think you’re hard, not fat, ffs.
So based off of my posts he thinks, that i think that I is a 'ard man.
it has everything to do with what you said....i was merely pointing out that i have experienced violence in every day life, probably more so than most others on here. that's not a boast, i was simply replying to your claim that i wouldn't know what a lawless society was. now i'm not saying NI was ever completely lawless but there were certainly areas of the country where it was pretty damn close.
but you are - you seem quite happy for every one to have a gun and to act as judge jury and executioner over relatively minor crimes
i'm not at all suggesting you are fat. what i am saying is that assuming you're a normal person, the reality of your armed civilian population coupled with your relaxing the laws on self defence would make for a society that you would not enjoy quite as much as you might think.
no, i don't think you are a hard man. i think you are full of **** and there's nothing parasocial about this debate but you keep trying to use clever words.So based off of my posts he thinks, that i think that I is a 'ard man.
Very parasocial of him.....
Also did that really grind your gears that much that you need a ffs at the end

okay
I think people should be given the tools and more laws to defend themselves from those who wish to victimise them, especially now that police seem to be struggling to protect the populace. I think too many people are more than happy to let criminals do as they please because it is a "minor" crime.
You think I wouldn't enjoy a society were people don't need to rollover and accept being a victim as a part of life. okay.
You've been hammering that point because you have been trying to get a reaction out of me (that's why you ignored my rebuttal to the point and continued to go on with the personal insult). I just decided to turn it round on you because i know when people want a reaction out of you (because you think you have some clever insult), ignoring there statement doesn't work.
