    This is true. He actually knows what he is talking about on this one.

    However... you don't get a working turret on it without lots more money, and a very extensive background check and licensing procedure. Funny enough, tanks are illegal to drive on the roads here in the US, but completely legal to drive on the road in the UK. So... the place that fears firearms, doesn't care too much about tanks.

    Yes, you can also buy grenade launchers if you get a DD permit, you can even find 40mm grenades. What's your argument about those though? When was the last time a gang banger used a tank, grenade launcher, 20mm anti aircraft gun, 50 BMG, or even a machine gun during a crime? None of those are valid arguments and are just hairs to be pulled for arguments sake.

    You can also buy working jets such as F-14's, F-18's, Mig 28's and so on.

    You know, I'll give you another one... Doctors.

    Malpractice deaths account for about 440,000 deaths a year in the US. Compare that to 8200 from firearms.... Now, we are talking about one person killing another person here, this isn't about inanimate objects anymore. I know only you can make comparisons, but maybe since it is a person killing a person you will see it as justified?

    Reading comprehension.... Some have it, some don't.

    I never said YOU said anything about the FBI. The original poster is the one who mentioned the FBI with a link, and then put up two quotes that were supposedly from inside the FBI link. I said one of the quotes he posted, the first one, was inside the link, and the other one, the one that mentions the percentages you quoted above, was actually not in that link the original poster said was a part of the FBI's link. Get it?

    So, now that you *might be on the same page... 88% is the total accounted for number in that text. You following? 11% is the number of those criminals that bought their firearms legally. You still with me? 37% is the percentage that got their firearms from someone they knew like a family member or friend. Did I lose you yet? Ok, stay with me. 40% of criminals said they got their firearms on the black market, illegally. Still with me? All of those numbers add up to 88%. That 88% is all that is accounted for in the text that was posted. Do you understand this, are we on the same page? Ok, now... you inferred that after that 40% the rest were bought legally which I said was already stated in the text, 11% bought their guns legally. Did you get all of that?

    HEROES. Not "hero's" but heroes. Learn your language.

    Got confused for a moment. But you don't see people robbing banks with 37mm cannons now do you?

    except he doesn't have a constitutional right to stop a law abiding citizen from having a gun......just like the rest of your posts you speak from emotionalism and not fact or proof. Keep throwing things though, something might stick. Your new nickname....whoflungpoo. :roflol:

    With thirty seven percent saying they acquired a firearm through a friend or a family member. That is what is referred to as a straw purchase, which is otherwise known as a felony offense. In other words, at least three quarters of all firearm acquisitions by criminals are carried out through illegal means, that are beyond the scope and reach of legal regulation authority.

    I inferred, so your saying that it is your impression that I said something. Unless I said , your inferred it's just what you want said. Didn't say it.

    Irrelevant. A lack of firearm-related homicides would not mean a corresponding drop in homicides overall. There is no evidence to suggest that if firearms were not accessible, those who are intent on committing murder would simply refrain from such.

    Is there? If a person can only use one firearm at a time, they can only use one method of transportation at a time. If a person has no need for more than one firearm, you do not have need for more than one method of transportation. If you have a bicycle, you do not need to have a motor vehicle.

    What possible reason could you have for even wanting more than one method of transportation, if you cannot use it?
