That's my point. Besides the fact that one can't own a gun there, you among your other UK mates on this board, view simply owning a gun as a bad thing. Your prejudice and law against certain things is just fine for over there.Originally Posted by GepperRankins

Whatever the foreign country is, it shouldn't have much bearing on a US trial.....but in all cases shouldn't be totally ignored for all laws.
Sometimes there are extraordinary circumstances.

apart from target practice, which i know can be pretty fun (i used to own with my airguns) nothing good can come from it. in britain we don't even have the scare culture that make homeowners feel they need guns. so the only people who would wnat a gun here would be upto no good.Originally Posted by Busyman
however without a conviction for threatening behaviour or using the gun, the 'up to no good' is only presumption.
I guess the UK thing doesn't include me, but for what it's worth the consensus seemed to be that owning a gun in itself isn't a bad thing, it's just that most people shouldn't be allowed to own them, I (or we) have no problem with guns if they are in the hands of the right people, ie law enforcement or similar.Originally Posted by Busyman
in all cases previous convictions should be investigated. i suppose if a person was from zimbabwe and was set up for opposing the government or something along those lines a case can be invalid but that's why it should be investigated.Originally Posted by Busyman
what if a man gets done for armed robbery in france then moves to america, should this previous crime be wiped from his record? tbh i don't believe it should be questioned, but that's just my oppinion
i think the UK thing means not america but, us UKians are particularly snooty about the fact our gun laws workOriginally Posted by SnnY
Your paragraphs are somewhat contradictory then.Originally Posted by GepperRankins
The bottom line is..you can't own a handgun there and that's fine but by making a gun possession conviction in the UK valid here then that makes you almost the same as Washington DC (where handguns are illegal).
Since the UK is not part of America and your government, views of law, and such are different, then I should not be subject to your probationary measures in America.

i don't see the contradiction. the only incentive to own a gun here is to commit crime, but we can only presume until someone is chargedOriginally Posted by Busyman
That's how YOU view it.Originally Posted by GepperRankins
If I lived there, I'd want one for protection in my home.
