Where in any of my posts did I use the word 'stupid'?

Please explain what you mean by that comment.

Because calling someone else 'stupid' is the preserve of people on these forums whose example I would rather not follow. It's rude and unnecessary.

Your constant references to Germany, purely, it would seem, on the grounds that I happen now to live there, would be getting increasingly tiresome if they were worth taking seriously.

I'm a British citizen and I've never been in a situation where I thought I could do with a gun. I'm either completely useless at detecting danger or there's just no need.

Millions more people would agree. I'm also sure there are many (not all) who have lost loved ones in crimes who would also agree. It sets a dangerous precedent and we don't want it.

I feel sorry for you guys in Texas. You've gone so far down the 'tunnel' you can't turn back. You've lost all perspective on what life without your guns would be like, so you see the only answer as increasing their prevalence. A sorry state of affairs indeed.

This is my view too, and the reason why I no longer get drawn into these threads (unless this counts :p ). It's an ingrained cultural difference that neither "side" will ever truly comprehend, more akin to a religion or at least a cult. If Texans are happy with their lot then bully for them, if not then America's a big enough country that they can move away from it. I guess the flipside of being the so-called Land of the Free is that you accept this also means the freedom to blow one another's brains out. I'm content to leave them to it, and happy that there's a flippin' great big ocean between us and them. :s

feeling is mutual as to your side of the ocean, and then some. And in the last 25 years, i have not carried a gun anywhere, and never felt the need for it.

A feeling based on nothing but the ignorance you make plain every time you post.

Excellent, well-written post, though I am sure you will be accused of 'narcissism' or some such later on.

He is the one who said he feels superior to those from the left and right because of his superior stance from the center.
His opinion whether you like it or not.

So, your point is, you are an expert?

Merely quoting what an actual expert says, nothing more.

Any chance of us getting back to the topic...which was what exactly :confused:
