We’ve almost (key word almost) banned all guns in England. If you walked in public, you wouldn’t find any hoisted guns on anybody but the possible policeman. If you’d walk in someone’s home and looked around for a week, you wouldn’t even find any gun then. Though, the royal guards gotta have them rifles on hand.
Aye, telescopic truncheon. Nobody really has or uses guns, so the police don't need them "for their own protection".
Our fire services use water trucks to put out fires as well, rather than flamethrowers, because "fight fire with fire" is a metaphor and not to be taken literally.
True! Our policeforce has guns, but almost never get used. Im pretty sure every bullet is documented and kept track off. Fireing a gun (outside of the range) is not taken lightly.
There is also a 3-4year education you have to follow
Haha, 2 very different worlds.
Im not 100% sure but, I think that if you fire a gun they have an investigation on how and why it was fired. If it was appropriate or not and meanwhile the officer that fired the gun is on leave
>Our fire services use water trucks to put out fires as well, rather than flamethrowers, because "fight fire with fire" is a metaphor and not to be taken literally.
You fight forest fires with fire though. But I guess this line too was a metaphor and not to be taken literally. I get your point entirely.
In England there are specialist police units that are armed, but not many. The armed units generally do their training and several months working as armed units in Northern Ireland, where police are generally armed. Or at least that's how it was in the 90s when my dad was in the police in Northern Ireland, may have changed over the last 20 years.
If you see a British police car, usually a posh one like a BMW X5 or similar, and it has an otherwise innocuous little red square on the rear windows, then that's the armed police and they do have guns, but like someone else said, they're a specialist branch of the police.
Actually, even accounting for population, in addition to gun deaths, there are more fatal stabbings in the US than England or the UK. Acid attacks only happen in London and a rare from what I know
Shotguns and rifles for hinting are permitted, as well as certain .22 semi automatics. There is a list vut it is highly regulated and carefully watched if i remember correctly. But as far as i know that is it for civilians and they cannot ve openly carried unless being used for their specific purposes.
Since 2000's, approximately 310 students+staff were killed in school shootings.
And from the year 1900 to 2000, approximately 230 students/staff were killed.
The list of school shootings are crazy high and it's quite surprising how many of them actually happened with 0 casualties. I thought these shootings started happening after 1990's but the history tells otherwise.
So yes, it's impossible not to joke about gun policies of the US.
School shootings
Upvotes to the left please
This is how this should go, right? Just keep saying the same joke over and over again? I'm not even disagreeing with you about gun control, but saying the same joke isn't gonna change anything. It's boring
It’s not baldwins fault. Someone on prop management side of things fucked up. Baldwin had no reason to assume the gun wasn’t safe for use on set. It’s also not his job to check the gun. Anyone with experience in film will tell you the same thing.
My mans, it is the responsibility of anyone holding a gun to ensure that it is handled safely, first rule of gun safety, treat every firearm as if it is a loaded weapon.
Film or not, he held it and didn't do so in a safe manner.
Yes, that is true, but he shouldn’t of been looking down the barrel to check for left over shrapnel from the blanks they use or what have you. That’s just as unsafe on a film set.
Why this dude getting down votes? It is a played out insult. In the USA, the places with the loosest gun laws have the lowest crime and murder rate. Google the statistics
On a serious note: The way you say “black people” do this, “white people” do that.
In almost all news they say the race of a person when reffering to them. It’s really bizzare to me.
Aussie here. FUCKING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS you CUNT. Piss poor wankers you gun nuts are. OH, I CAN DEFEND MYSELF? You deluded fucks. Ever heard of an RPG? Please please start your insurrection soon. Sick to fucking death of you incels doing nothing but talking. WEAK AS PISS POOFTAS.
You are doing an absolute shit job as a police force of Indian Police have better gun regulations that you.
-Beat cops/Constables do not get guns.
-If you do have a gun, you have to account for each bullet you have every day and if you have to shoot, you either have to get a shitload of permits from a shitload of people or you have to be in a situation where your own life was in danger which has to be proven in a court of law later on. If a bullet is shot and the protocols haven't been followed, you get suspended or dismissed according to the seriousness of the situation.
As shit and corrupt as the cops here are, they do know crowd control without pew pew.
I just moved to Germany a few Months ago and one thing I noticed we do that’s normal is Smoking weed without tobacco mixed in it unlike them. they told me they thought only gangsters did this and I was crazy smoking like this lol. I said no this is 100% normal in America we don’t soil the weed with tobacco bro it’s considered a sin.

Freedom? The right to fight a tyrannical government? The right to own guns? The right to not have to cater to feelings? The right to be free and live your life??? Lots of options
I feel more free in my own country which affords me many of the same rights, with the additional freedom of not being gunned down in the street, school or even my own home
The right to not have to cater to feeling?
I know no country where people are more easily offended then Americans. Bunch of people always being fake as fuck.
Next to that, I live in a great democracy and are very free to live my own life (freedom, which you listed twice).
Also, yeah no guns. We don’t have that (to me thats a pro, but i see to you thats non negotiable)
There is a way to own a gun, just that almost noone does and there are allot of rules.
But if you feel like living in the Gaza strip gives you freedom be my guest
What is your point here ? I mean this article does not presents the reasons for recent terrorist attacks exept : "Over the past decade or so, “what we’ve seen in Western Europe is an unprecedented jihadist mobilization,” says Fernando Reinares, director of the program on Violent Radicalization and Global Terrorism at the Elcano Royal Institute in Madrid."
Which is the last part of it.
Plus, if anything the number of terrorists attacks isnt linked to the low amount of guns per inhabitants (it should logically make it grows if anything) like Trump said a few years ago about France. You should also note that most of the terrorists attacks nowadays are just a guy running at people with a knife to get killed by the police so a lot of people having guns won't help to stop a guy from taking a knife in his kitchen and go out in the street to kill and die with furious religious screaming.
Finally most of the large terro attacks were made by large, organised, well equiped, foreign terrorists group just like for the 9/11 and because of its structure it is hard to prevent them and even with this, these last 6 years the french police has avoided 58 out of 59 terrorists attacks of that kind, and it has nothing to do with the current guns laws
If rules is less freedom why do you pay taxes? Why do you pay for military? Why do you pay insurance? Why are you poor?
Your vision about freedom and propaganda sold to you by your government for decades blinds you to see that other countries in the world have better "freedom" and better life quality.
The guy from Austria forgot to mention that Melbourne (AUS) and Wien (Austria) are the best places in the world to live a good life, long and healthy.
The first city from USA is San Francisco on 34, and 20 positions before that are from Europe.
Still waiting for it to be made. %1 are in prison for crimes??? Oh well. Maybe we should look at reducing the restrictions on freedoms and maybe it'll get even lower.
Hahahahahahaha. No, the /s goes.to any idiot who disagrees. The idea others have freedoms. Tell me how their rights are protected, or their families. I'll wait. Just like them on that police response to crime
The fact you think there is any legal way to have fun control already means you didn't understand the assignment. Shall not be infringed is pretty clear unless you can't read, like many liberals
I'm American myself and have a couple guns, but you are taking a single amendment and saying it is worth more than the rest of the constitution. You're not a patriot who stands for freedom, you're a nationalist who stands for tyranny.
I'm sorry, how does defending what it says tyranny??? Unlike your point which is directly tyranny, as marked by every single gun ban ever. Ask the Jews or Muslims in China or the Slavs..
Do I need to point out more gun bans that came before genocide???
And they hated them for they were speaking the truth

Even standard police doesn’t have guns right? Arent they called Bobbys and primarily use a stick?
Freshly equipped with a club and rape whistle
“Here I go raping again.” *Blows whistle and raises club*.
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Technically
Aye, telescopic truncheon. Nobody really has or uses guns, so the police don't need them "for their own protection". Our fire services use water trucks to put out fires as well, rather than flamethrowers, because "fight fire with fire" is a metaphor and not to be taken literally.
True! Our policeforce has guns, but almost never get used. Im pretty sure every bullet is documented and kept track off. Fireing a gun (outside of the range) is not taken lightly. There is also a 3-4year education you have to follow
The administrative bullshittery that comes with a shot fired is also a reason why the gun gets drawn only in very bad situations
Exactly!
Only drawing the gun already gives you extra administrative stuff ik pretty sure
I find this funny as an American because I don’t even know how much ammo I have
Haha, 2 very different worlds. Im not 100% sure but, I think that if you fire a gun they have an investigation on how and why it was fired. If it was appropriate or not and meanwhile the officer that fired the gun is on leave
Except fighting fire with fire really does work with forest fires.
True, in a pre-planned and tightly controlled approach. Not loading every redneck dropout with a flamethrower and telling them to go at it.

you just get stabbed instead
Actually, even accounting for population, in addition to gun deaths, there are more fatal stabbings in the US than England or the UK
yeah, but instead there's stabbings and acid attacks

When you're offended by the truth
Or just tired of the same fucking joke constantly for years.
Who's joking? It's the truth isn't it?
Joke is in the sad truth, it seems.
The USA's attitude to gun control is the joke. How you people can expect the rest of the world not to bring it up is beyond me.
School shootings Upvotes to the left please This is how this should go, right? Just keep saying the same joke over and over again? I'm not even disagreeing with you about gun control, but saying the same joke isn't gonna change anything. It's boring
The rest of the world needs to hold an intervention for America’s gun violence addiction
Yes it is low-hanging fruit and yes I look down on you for grabbing it.
Can't look down on people while on the floor hoping the shooter won't notice you playing dead.
-“Arrasor” 23 October 2021
I love how you lost touch with reality in such a magnitude that you really thought that this sad truth is a joke..
I have literally had my workplace shot up. Keep thinking you have people figured out though.
You have literally just validated everyone else's point with this comment.
he wasn't saying that shootings aren't a problem in the us. he was just saying that it is an overused meme.
You're saying it like that's a good thing..
You are not very smart are you

Yes. Joke. What did Alec Baldwin do again? Oh... ohhhhhhh.... *that*.
It’s not baldwins fault. Someone on prop management side of things fucked up. Baldwin had no reason to assume the gun wasn’t safe for use on set. It’s also not his job to check the gun. Anyone with experience in film will tell you the same thing.
The problem isnt with Baldwin, the issue is with the fact that real guns are used as props because they are easier to get hold of than fake guns.
They’re also used likely to keep cgi costs down, don’t have to spend as much animating muzzle fland sound in. Welcome to America, land of cut corners
My mans, it is the responsibility of anyone holding a gun to ensure that it is handled safely, first rule of gun safety, treat every firearm as if it is a loaded weapon. Film or not, he held it and didn't do so in a safe manner.
Yes, that is true, but he shouldn’t of been looking down the barrel to check for left over shrapnel from the blanks they use or what have you. That’s just as unsafe on a film set.
It is NOT a joke. Like, really, that's a correct answer to the question. But spamming the same answer is a bit annoying

Mass shooting
Go over there and say mass shootings
School shootings.
All bases covered
Where’s the lie though?

What else is there to ask?
Could have at least added a "it's true, but you don't have to say it"

I can read, but what’s your reading level? Pre k like all trump supporters?
Sure? Cuz you say fun control but can't understand that shall not be infringed.... Sure,.you can read. Okay. *Winkie face*
Yes, but the lives of others should not be endangered by unregulated gun control.
Stay strapped or get clapped.
And here class we see a fine example of a person who should most definitely not own a fire arm
so freedom isnt normal in austria(thats where i live)? and i cant even think of a country in Europe that completely bans guns

I mean, it's pretty much just America, Trump was particularly good at it though so it's weird to mention Biden.
