He was always fun at parties. He used to make something he would pour on the floor setting off little crackles/bangs as people walked on it. Guess these days they would do him for cooking up explosives in the kitchen and pay him for doing it at work in a government lab

Re: I'm A Terrorist (Apparently)
Laws only affect law abiding people. They don't affect anyone else. If laws stopped crime, all police forces would be out of work, but new laws make it look like politicians are doing something.

Re: I'm A Terrorist (Apparently)
As was said at the time, only criminals will own guns. Didn't stop illegal use

Re: I'm A Terrorist (Apparently)
No, but wasn't the ban in reaction to Dunblane? It has certainly stopped non-criminal nutjobs having guns to hand. Just look at the problems the US have with them (guns and nutjobs) ...

Current knife crime epidemic in London would be a handgun epidemic if we had the same insane laws as the USA. |

Re: I'm A Terrorist (Apparently)
Nobody mentioned handguns but since you have any serious terrorists wouldn't bother with handguns, Uzi, AK47 and hand grenades are their chosen tools.
You can still get rifles ( not semi or fully automatic ) and shotguns in UK without too many problems, it is just concealed weapons, IIRC you need a licence to carry a handgun / concealed weapon in most states of USA. .

That was after police were alerted by the club he was a member of as to his unsuitability to own guns, the firearms officer also recommending he should not have his certificate renewed and yet all this was overruled by someone higher up... we have checks and gun crime (legal) is very rare in this country. Dunblane was over 20 years ago, and Cumbria nearly 10 years ago. Alas, certain people will find a way to harm other people with whatever is at their disposal. You cannot legislate away ALL things capable of being used in wrongdoing.
