  • why the hell did they ban semi-auto centerfire rifles and in 1997 why did they ban handguns

    ok lets say you have a car and a person is on the road and you want to run him over but you choose not why becuase about 99% of people are not sick in the head same with a gun lets say you own a gun you dont go outside and start shooting people do you its just stupid crime went up after they banned semi-autos and handguns

  • This is why we can't have nice things. Twat's like this ruin it for good innocent people.

  • Wicked person.

  • @CosmicDestroyer99 Also slide-action rifles were considered more dangerous than bolts.Why they thought this out,who knows?Lefties in one corner wanting outright bans and the Conservative right-wingers,turning their noses up at non-traditional sporting arms.

  • @CosmicDestroyer99 Yes,thats correct,but semi-auto centrefire rifles,so they were banned because of the increased pressure put on the government to ban them & also alot of hunters didn't use them & didn't want them & never agued the case for them,strong enough,so they were banned.Pump&semi-shotguns were used as tools for duck hunters & escaped the ban,along with .22 LR pump/semi-auto rimfire rifles.Handguns were seen as Olympic sporting pieces & so were left alone,until '97.

  • this incident reminds me of an old elton choon....Ticking

  • @MarineAqua45 Dunblane?..Yeah but you can still buy rifles and shotguns with a permit correct

  • I rang 999 once for the police and got told all lines were busy, but dont worry somebody will be with you shortly, after about 3 minutes I hung up. they rang me back after about 15 minutes and asked me what my emergency was.gun control doesn't work and the legal system in the uk punishes the victim just as bad as the ofender the shooter in the massacre also had a 9mm pistol and an illegal thompson submachine gun why didn't use it nobody will know

  • Ah, he shot his dog. Clearly not a good guy. Dumbass.

  • @rangers11000

    Too bad for you then.
