    Default Largest ARMED robbery in UK history?

    http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0...213144,00.html
    But i thought you guys outlawed handguns and now the UK is inhabited by hobbits living in Hobbiton with only the occasional ruffian acting up during a football game? How on earth, if there are laws against the ownership of handguns in the UK, did this happen? Is it because when laws are passed, only people that obey laws will obide by them? Hmmmm....

    Shhhh!!!!.....you aint seen me, right?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Hmmm, I don't know, maybe a little "amnesia money" would do the trick.

    The BBC said £25 million...

    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    It does cut down firearm crime as it is harder to get one and they are more noticible.

    Say for instance. How many Deaths are there in the USA from crime Military weapons(Eg. M4a1, AK47, Carl Gustav Launcher, M79, Barret etc)? Lets say the number is x. Therefore because of x deaths this shows that limiting these weapions to only criminals is silly and so we should allow the people to have as many as possible.


    Silly argument, yes, but just as silly as the argument against limiting firearms to the public.

    "A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mudwrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn."

    And how would different gun laws have made any difference at all in this case Dave .
    Oh I know , the manger would have reached for his gun after he was handcuffed and put in the back of what he thought was a police car , or even better his wife and kids could have shot the people who they thought were police when they were telling them about the "accident" .
    Yay guns for all , its the only way to stop this crime
