please take this with the best of intentions, I know this is a sensitive issue for you.
I think you would shoot that gun because you are hurt, angry and full of grief. I think that if you found yourself face to face with them, even though your brother is gone, you would pull the trigger even though it won't bring him back. That's why I hate guns. They turn people into something they don't want to be.

I couldn't go to someone's home if they kept a gun in it. Outside of an obvious collector who has them in proper locked display cases. Even then I'd have trouble keeping myself from making a comment of distaste.
They'd be welcome to visit my home but I couldn't visit them comfortably.
eta: God help the person who brings a gun into my home unless they are an on duty police officer. They'd find themselves on the doorstep in seconds.

The feeling of holding and firing a weapon that can cause such destruction and change lives in an instant is an awesome one. There is a 9mm in this house but its disassembled at the moment and I feel safer that it is.

Of course if you witnessed somebody being Raped i don't think many people would judge you if you then went on to shoot the guy. But, the fact that you where carrying a weapon would make the crime premeditated . I doubt you'd be seen as innocent then .

It's impossible to know.
Again, I think it is the anger, hurt and grief that makes you willing to consider it. If that is what guns bring out in people then I want them well away from me. There are better ways to heal.

My very mild mannered son, who was always very anti guns ( having been reared by me) was convinced by my macho police officer brother in law, to get a gun. The premise was that the neighborhood has had minor incidences of crime, and so the gun was needed to perhaps protect my daughter in law and my grandaughter. I was strongly opposed to my sons having the gun. I am very angry that my brother in law " helped" him get one. My daughter in law has displayed behavior at times, that would be labeled emmotionally unstable. She is often irrationally jealous, and there has been some marital discord between them this past year. Try as I do, I cannott stop imagining her mistaking her husband for an intruder, or irrationally losing her temper and firing that gun. You get the rest of the scenario. There have been so many people who have looked back on gun related deaths that wished a gun hadnt been available to use. Guns are ugly, cold, instruments of death. I have no problem with hand to hand combat. During the heat of a fight, the participants have a chance to think as they see blood, or hear bones break, or look into their opponents eyes and see remorse or submission. There is time to stop before death occurs. Not so with the quick immediate, path of a bullett hitting its target.

he was not found guilty of murder uk law exampleThat's the same chap as "Anthony Edward Martin (born 1944) is a farmer in Norfolk, England who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, but his conviction was reduced to manslaughter on appeal"?On April 10 2000 Martin was charged with the murder of Barras, the attempted murder of Fearon, wounding with intent to cause injury to Fearon, and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.
The jury at the trial were told that they had the option of returning a verdict of manslaughter if they thought that Martin "did not intend to kill or cause serious bodily harm". However, they found Martin guilty of murder by a 10 to 2 majority. He was sentenced to life in prison, the mandatory sentence for murder. The case had attracted considerable media interest and the life sentence shocked many.
An appeal was lodged and was considered by three senior judges headed by Lord Lane.
Submissions by the defence that Martin had fired in self defence were rejected by the appeal court. However, on this occasion the defence submitted evidence that Martin suffered paranoid personality disorder specifically directed at anyone intruding into his home; this submission was accepted by the Court of Appeal and, on the grounds of diminished responsibility, Martin's murder conviction was replaced with manslaughter carrying a five year sentence, and his ten year sentence for wounding Fearon cut to three years. Both sentences were to run concurrently.

Angel Eyes... That is one of the most horrible traumas a person could ever go through in life. I dont know if I could recover. But because I believe in fate.. I have to recognize that had you had a gun.. the rapist could have taken it away from you, and killed you. I am unable to see a gun ever as a solution. I always see it as a man made device that has the potential to back fire, and mistakenly take the wrong life. I would that I could go back and not have you suffer. But I am glad you survived.

I made my point that a person shouldn't do something just because it's legal.
I'm interested in what the UK law actually is on the matter though. The bit he posted doesn't specifically say that guns are ever considered reasonable force. And it certainly didn't mention illegal firearms being acceptable. I don't quite care enough to go googling.
The point has been and remains, is it worth becoming a killer? Do guns turn angry people into unintentional killers?

If someone doesn't accept PMs, that means they probably aren't interested in personal conversations. So then you should either let an issue go or take it to admin. You don't need to bring it out in a thread to the rest of us.

it didn't cross my mind that they would seriously look for a member of the forum with a gun in hand. It is the way some people seem able to fling it about in conversation with a sense of "coolness" or power in the fact that they own a gun or are capable of using it.
Just the thought of owning a gun gives me a sick feeling. And the idea of pointing it at anyone is horrifying. For me.

Arriving late, I only have a couple of things to say about this. I think
where it went "astray" was the posting of the links. Be assured, I read
it through carefully 3 times before posting. I'm trying to be fair with my
statements.
My thoughts are, first, the posts in that thread should have been reported.
If links are asked for in this one, maybe a pm for direction would be
best. As it is, I find it very likely that whole thread will be composted
or deleted entirely.
I ask all of you to consider the fact that just a few short months ago, one
of the persons in question suffered a very serious head trauma. Is that
an excuse? An emphatic NO. But it DOES enter into it. So report the posts,
all of them, and let admin deal with those users as he sees fit.
And I have to say I think Bill Sikes owes any female users here an apology,
and his post should probably be reported, too. No woman user here
should have to get the "that time of the month" snark from any other
user. For the record, Bill, I'm 54 years old and it hasn't been that time
for me since last July. TMI? Perhaps, but I think it needed to be said.
And Jesse, when I read your post I understood you to mean that a
person could not be guilty of killing someone, and I guess I felt it was
implied that they might still be charged with carrying an illegal weapon.
Just letting you know how another reader might take your post.
As for shrike, I saw a whole lot of :void(0)"> going on. A couple of
other users were "harsh" but that is their way, and if they need to
be taken down a peg or two, or get a "time-out" so be it and again, for
admin to decide. It is my understanding that we just recently had
things put in place to warrant some people receiving infractions. Let
the "system" go to work.
I know I'm "wordy" but I would just like to add, I believe in my right to
keep and bear. That comes with a huge responsibility, and part of that
responsibility is to not take ANY part of it "lightly".

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me..
And you've apparently missed the part where koan said BR doesn't accept PMs. That tells me that it WAS personal to koan... at least until she couldn't get her 'shot' in that way.
I realize that there are some folks that are very proud gun owners but, last I heard, threatening to shoot people on FG was against the rules. A little more restraint, people. Please.
Sorry foop but I think thats fair legitimate and polite.
That is why I am speaking my mind.

I tried to send BR a PM with a link to the thread so it wouldn't be misconstrued as being an attack on her behind her back. In it I wrote that this was not a personal attack and I really wanted to hear her point of view. Then found I couldn't send it.
put your detective goggles away.
whatever slant you insist on projecting here. there is no denying that a conversation is taking place. Despite you.
