For sporting, recreation and vermin control. Try getting one for personal protection! Or as you say, try carrying it about in public.

It's very difficult to attain a firearms license here , that's a good thing . I wouldn't like to see Ireland ending up with as many guns per head of population as America.

It wouldn't bother me if someone had an assault rifle instead of a handgun. In fact someone walking around with an assault rifle is less likely to be a criminal as high powered rifles are hard to hide and thus they get caught

Sure, they just shoot 50, 100 people before they get caught.

That'd be a psycho nut job and thankfully there aren't that many in America .

Really? How many mass shootings have you heard about where the shooter had a handgun?

It's beyond my comprehension why can't they drink themselves to death like normal people.

They do that too. That's a global problem.

As is death by firearms. My point is there is a culture amongst certain countries to love things that kill them.

In that case I’m going to pass away in the company of an escort, oh well there’s worse ways to go
