Why is it that in Ireland, we are not allowed guns?

EMOH

I find it absolutely waste that guns are illegal in the Republic of Ireland.

We have hundreds of thousands of Irish nackers/pikeys/skangers/scumbags in our underrated country - why is it that we cannot use them to defend ourselves??

I'm not talking about being able to hold a glocc 45 to the supermarket, I'm talking about having a handgun in your home, so you know you are safe against all the terrible things that happen, here in Tallaght (sigh).

Don't say.. "well look at America, people kill each other" (go watch the movie by Michael Moore *forgets name*) seriously don't, if you look at Canada, you're allowed to buy guns, yet Canada has one of the lowest gun crime ratings in the world.

So, I, ask you Boards, does our government expect us all to be pro MMA fighters and take on these god-forsaken scum travelers?

I've travelled threw the United States and I remember one time where I was at a friends house (real sausage party that was, that's how I role) this guy had around 10 guns. Shotguns, handguns, you name it, he had. Even a grenade (no pun intended). Trust me when I say, he had the safest block I've ever seen.

ha, just noticed this. bye man.

minidazzler

Because you are supposed to use force relative to the threat.

I think firearms should be legal, but TBH, even if they were, the second someone used a Pistol to rob a shop or a post office it would be the legal ones outlawed (Again).

Why not just purchase a shotgun? just as effective TBH, or a .22 rifle.

Canadians are (generally) reasonable people. Irish people are (generally) reactionary hot-heads. I don't want the latter group of people running around with guns in their hands. Plus If an Irish nackers/pikeys/skangers/scumbags thinks/knows you have a gun under your pillow guess what he's gonna bring with him next time he comes to rob your house.

Becuase 40,000 people are killed and seriously injured in the US every year from firearms.

Trust me, having no guns in Ireland is a good thing. By which I mean, giving Padraig Nally farmers access to assualt rifles would be more dangerous that the knackers having a few sawnoffs

Then it should be sold to people who have a good background?

Well these "scum travelers" could probably buy guns too...

Also we're a nation of drunken idiots who act the maggot and adding guns to this mix would be very irresponsible

...just a generally stupid idea all together...i would feel safe though with a grenade under my pillow. If anyone invades my house i could blow a whole in the wall trying to stop them

So if they background check boards and see that you will probably shoot all the "nackers/pikeys/skangers/scumbags" you won't get one either.

doesn't matter where you live, there's always a contingent of cnuts. if you don't have faith in your ability to use just your paws to defend yourself, buy a baseball bat and keep it under the bed. simple as that. nobody is going to enter your house with a gun in this country unless you're a drug dealer.

I live in Tallaght, I worked in petrol station next to jobstown for 3 years. I got in the odd scuffle and lots of slagging for being a "rocker" but i'm glad guns weren't widely available and I wasn't shot.

If Macauly Culkin can stop 2 grown men from robbing his house then maybe you just need an imagination and some xmas decorations. Not a gun.

I wouldn't only say entering your house. What if you went for a stroll out and stumbled across 5-6 chavs, you're gonna use your paws against 6 people. 1v6?

We are allowed to own guns. It requires a gun license. Ireland has restrictions on who can own a gun.

No, we can't walk into a local supermarket and get a free gun with every 500 euro worth of shopping. Why? Guns would be more prevelant in society, resulting in more armed robberies, more armed gangs and generally - more shootings.

So no - We're happy as we are.

DonJose

Thats all Ireland needs at the moment, a couple thousand Trent's, "Peeeow, peeeow!!!"

You* are allowed guns.. there's just far more stringent requirements for getting one here than in other places

Your idea is terrible, reactionary, not thought out and appeals to people who harbour Walter Mitty fantasies about dispensing "street justice".

Enjoy being post of the day.

"Grenade" must be some sort of homosexual slang?

So the OP's name is "EMO" and he wants Gun laws to be more relaxed?

Well maybe instead of a gun you use a paint can, custard and a candle. I made a pretty good bomb outta that in transition year science. Maybe you could make nunchucks from some xmas crackers and tinsel?

if 5 or 6 lads start on me, then i will try to run. if one or two start on me, i will try to run. if i can't get away, then i will fight. i'll most likely beat the one or two, and i'd certainly outrun most lads. I'd certainly be battered by 5-6, but either way, i don't see this being so regular an occurence that i need to pack heat for a routine walk to the shops. did you get a hiding last night OP?

Irish people with guns is not a welcome sight for some countries so its probably for the best.

Full sympathy for you. My 14 year old nephew has a scar on his cheek from being jumped by a loada guys in Killinarden... I was pretty angry at that but not to the extent where I think it would have been a good idea to have him carry a gun to shoot them.
