WOW! this guy really skipped over the most important part. The purchaser would get a background check at the "retailer" before the buyer could take the gun home. This writer is a complete liar.
Despite what the author says about no gun crime in England, eviidently the gun crime rate almost doubled after the ban went into effect.
“I kind of like how it feels in my hand,” I tell him, lying. The gun’s entirely deactivated. It can’t even be switched to “fire” from the safe position. A thin yellow cable prevents anyone from holding the trigger down, and there’s a gaping hole where the magazine should be. But despite all these clearly necessary precautions for displaying a semiautomatic rifle in a place containing tens of thousands of people, my palms are slick with anxiety. I need to leave. Now. “
I got this far and had to stop reading. NOW. It was making me sick! What a panty waist A**hole, OH MY GOD a gun!! it’s going to kill someone.
“...I realize as I leave that, no, I’ll never squeeze the trigger of an AR-15, that I’ll never own a handgun...”
Another culturally insensitive anti-intellectual. He tries to make it seem he tried to understand us but he never dropped his guard with his anti-gun and anti-freedom bias.
Ah, he forgot the last part of the story.
A mugger comes up from behind him, puts a knife in his back and tells him how relieved he was that this idiot was unarmed.
It does. He was checking the chamber to make sure the weapon was not loaded. But of course some slack-jawed anti-gun hopolophone "reporter" would not know that.
"I kind of like how it feels in my hand," I tell him, lying.
Like I said, irrationally scared of guns...
Yep.
let him go back to the UK, make peace signs and kneel before his future masters, the ragheads who now rule the Isles.
No doubt he ran home to mamma Cleaver in his fractured condition. She of course has a TX concealed carry license and will do her best to protect the little wuss.
This is the kind of moron that would should someone while having some gay snit. Guns don’t kill people, Democrats do!
There are daily reports of gun crime in the UK, and the 'unarmed police forces' have guns at their command whenever they want it seems. 'Unarmed Britain' is a total myth.
I am suprise the girly man wears pants
Whether they're talking to your face or writing an article, it's just one lie after another with these liberal filth.
“A thin yellow cable prevents anyone from holding the trigger down...But despite all these clearly necessary precautions for displaying a semiautomatic rifle...”
Once again, an idiot in the media fails to understand the difference between an automatic and semi-automatic weapon.
Being semi-automatic, holding the trigger down would’ve done absolutely..........
nothing.
[ There are no metal detectors, and it's kind of assumed that most everyone has a gun. I'm not sure if that makes me feel more or less safe, but I certainly can't get it out of my mind. I brush past a guy in combat shorts and feel his handgun brush against my leg. I briefly long for the Tube at rush hour, where the things that brush against you only leave a rash. ]
He would rather have a rash? What a bizarre statement. He also uses the word "fulsome" incorrectly.
His paranoia about guns was ridiculous.
Further: the AR-15 was not used at the Sandy Hook School.
But even if it were... it does not negate the Second Amendment in the least.
This guy comes across like some sort of propagandized fool.
“It’s when he says “they’ve accepted the media lie that the NRA is malicious” that things start to turn. Thousands of eyes turn toward the media. I get the same feeling I had holding that AR-15, only this time they’re holding the metaphorical Bushmasters, and I’m the intruder at the bottom of their stairs.
oooooooohhhh.... scary.
Hmmm...what if the list-reading lady had been a Christian with pamphlets at a muslim convention...
All that’s missing is an “EEK!”
Your typical snotty-nosed limp-wristed Brit faggot dripping with anti-Americanism from start to finish of his supposed ‘’objective’’ look at “American gun culture’’(whatever that is). Doesn’t matter much really. Ten years, fifteen tops and England’s done. We probably won’t be too far behind sadly.
