How's your crime rate?

Also it seems that most people really don't realise just how many legally or formerly legally-held guns there are in Ireland.

You can own a gun in Ireland, absolutely, just not a handgun I beleive. My friend owns a rifle and he goes out shooting targets on a regular basis.

Also @Overheal. I lived in Florida for a year. To be honest I didn't really feel safe even though it was a middle class area I was living in. Over 50% of people I knew owned a gun yet most of those only owned a gun "because everyone else has one".
I'm delighted to live in a Country where I don't feel the need to have a weapon.

As for not being able to fight back against an attacker/intruder, that's not true. The latest defence bill clearly states you can use reasonable force against someone which could result in death.

that, and the other tens of millions of privately owned firearms. It is after all one of the key intents of the 2nd amendment, in order to prevent any form of dictatorship from taking shape

I've heard the US government has access to tanks, fighter jets and helicopter gunships. But never mind that, you go fight the power with your Glock!

I'm still waiting for him to say
"Can you tell.... What Barrack ..... is cooking"

I will be protesting against his visit to the island with my confederate flag.

Killer Wench · 13-04-2011 07:26PM

How much are they charging for tickets?

I'll just go ahead and express my thanks to to the Irish people for further supporting our economy.

If Obama was playing GAA he would be playing for Tipperary - Moneygall players play for Tipperary.

Believe whatever you want. It's a bittersweet thing for me when I read about people getting mugged in Dublin that can't defend themselves, or protests that get shrugged off because the people in charge know you've got no teeth.

Ah here now..c'mon..that's a bit much; most of us have at least a few teeth.

A Minnesota chiropractor and rising mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter says he was questioned by the Secret Service after declaring that he wanted to face President Obama in his next bout, MyFoxTwinCities.com reported Thursday.
Jacob Volkmann told MMAFighting.com he wanted to take on Obama because of his position on health care policy -- and his challenge was not taken lightly.
He says he was coaching a youth practice on Tuesday when a police officer and Secret Service agent questioned him about threatening the president.
The agent allegedly told him authorities in Washington, D.C., had received multiple calls reporting that Volkmann had made threats against the president in the wake of his UFC 125 victory on Jan. 1.
The agent had a copy of the interview and a picture of Volkmann and the fighter said he confirmed that he had blithely mentioned wanting to fight Obama in the cage.
According to Volkmann, the agent expressed embarrassment over the investigation after he confirmed that the Minnesota man was not planning on traveling to Washington to harm the president.
“People were misunderstanding the point of view I was going for with the health care plan. That’s why they were getting so upset,” Volkmann told MMAFighting.com in an attempt to clarify the comments he made in the original interview.
“I’m thinking about the provider, I’m a chiropractor, so I’m thinking about my point of view, not everyone getting insurance. They don’t have to worry about getting denied, which is good I guess, just not good for health care providers,” he said.
Volkmann’s next fight is more likely to be against fellow lightweight contender Clay Guida, not the Head of State.
The fighter said the Secret Service considered the matter closed as of Thursday

So muggings don't happen in America?

Never said that?

Tea Party protests don't go ignored?

Simply asking that question demonstrates how very much they are not.

I've agreed with you on a huge amount of things before. I'm quite surprised you're coming out with this stuff. I thought you were above it.

I'm not sure I follow, above supporting gun rights?

It's a bitersweet feeling for me each time I read a story of a gun attack in the USA. Every day it's the same story. Here's an article from 3 hours ago for example.

:rolleyes:

While tragic, there's no denial of a problem when a minor gets his hands on a gun. Minors get their hands on a great many things they aren't permitted.

On the other hand when righteous Irish posters appear to be under the notion that they can stroll around Dublin for instance without the risk of being shot I find it laughable. Though I am sympathetic to that other Dubliner who knows they may not be safe and knows that if they get in trouble, and someone pulls a knife or a gun on them - or just physically overpowers them - they are fcuked if they are short of a boxer or a martial artist because you the law abiding citizen are not allowed to defend yourself with - anything. A whistle? It's that person I feel sympathy for and whish that they had the right to defend himself (or herself).

Anyone else reckon there'll be some CIA lurking around this thread at some stage? That's the kind of thing they do isn't it?

Wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure this thread is already being monitored for mention Obama and Guns so many times

If this happens and i highly doubt it. It would be the most cringeworthy thing in the history of Ireland and we have had some seriously cringeworthy moments. I expect news in the coming weeks that Mr Obama was "desperate" to speak in Croke Park after hearing about all its history blah blah blah the usual GAA spun crap but secret service wouldnt allow it.

This....
This entire thing will be one of the most massive cringefests of all time.

Overheal · 14-04-2011 03:28AM

whats he even going to talk about?

ElaElaElano · 14-04-2011 03:52AM
