mathematics Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 22 hours ago, Boo Khaki said: don't think it's possible to determine fitness or otherwise to hold a firearms licence based on the supposed mental wellbeing of the individual. There are too many factors to take into consideration as well as the complexity of trying to monitor and administrate such a system. I think it would be quite easy: Q. Do you want to own a gun? A: Yes. Prognosis: this person is mental. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Yeah, the "power" I suppose is on a gun by gun basis, but the ability to lay down much faster fire, rather than 2 and a reload makes it a significantly more dangerous weapon in the hands of a wrongun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) I wonder why someone would try to derail this into a "debate" about Muslims. Actually, no I don't, I think we all know exactly why he's done that. Edited August 16, 2021 by Bully Wee Villa 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
