@SlipperDerek @DailyMailUK Derek is just upset that his life is shit and is lashing out at any other group of people in attempt to blame others for his life being such a pile of wank.

@LeanMikael Who is "they"? This particular family? Come on, you absolute weapon, say what you really mean.

@SlipperDerek @DailyMirror The article doesn't mention any accusations of racism, you thick cunt.

@regrock29 @GordonStock3 @NRA Mate, you'd think you would know something about guns and bullets. The tiny bullet on the left is designed to be high velocity, yaw on entry and cause maximum damage - far more than a shot from a handgun. Bullets don't have to be massive for a gun to be high powered FFS.

@glennfdavies @Janderso549 @cat_teachers @DrJessTaylor I was brutally smacked as a child and am dead against it as a result. I've never hit my kids. But I remember absolutely grabbing my eldest when she was 4, so much that it hurt her, after she ran into a busy road and was inches from being killed. No regrets as she's still here.

@andygrace2 @DailyMailUK What the fuck are you trying to say?!

@steeb_ryan @Rfahmy @JenneCameron @LovedByaDove @NRA But 80% of Canada is uninhabited compared to 47% of the US, hence I was just being pedantic.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@steeb_ryan @Rfahmy @JenneCameron @LovedByaDove @NRA Just to be pedantic but Canada is actually larger than the US.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@JeanineX9 @DailyMailUK Still a hell of a lot better than what you have in the US. Medical negligence leads to 250,000 deaths each year there. More than 10x the number in the UK.

@Boekaj @Dracarys1618 @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA I don't think you can argue that so few people die each year. This, of course, doesn't include suicides and I don't know if it includes police shootings as I don't know if they count as homicides. But it's pretty damning all the same.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Boekaj @Dracarys1618 @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA Lewis is right, but fair enough - I get the joke now you've explained it!

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Boekaj @Dracarys1618 @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA But no one has the unfettered tight to guns anyway, do they? If I'm a convicted armed robber surely I don't have the right to bear arms? If I'm a paranoid schizophrenic I don't have the right do I? So check everyone, all types of guns and all types of sales.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Jasonarm92 @JenneCameron @steeb_ryan @LovedByaDove @NRA Lots of socio-economic reasons, but I'll tell you what didn't drive the murder rate up: banning guns.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Boekaj @Dracarys1618 @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA That's not what communism is.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Boekaj @Dracarys1618 @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA I don't think anyone is advocating a total ban. I was, but listening to a lot of people I accept that isn't feasible.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Boekaj @Dracarys1618 @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA Would extending the current background checks you outlined to include all gun sales, including private sales, be an effective ban? I'm not sure it would. I accept that neither of us have stats about the number of private sales that lead to a shooting, but my question remains.

[Ryan 🇮🇪 @TheMethodCook]

@Dracarys1618 @Boekaj @TallPaul562 @CeliaCh24609512 @NRA True that. I love that we have firearms police here but the majority of police don't carry guns, and carry (mostly) non lethal weapons like Tasers. Big difference here is our police are trained in de-escalation.
