    i agree with waylander, there is no ryhme nor reason for owning a handgun, they are only designed for shooting people (we can talk about target shooting pistols at a later date)

    a rifle is for game and target shooting, a shot gun is for the same. they can be used to kill people of course but it isnt necessarily their primary role and that is the major difference.

    this is all refering to guns in the hands of civillians of course.


    Quoted as someone agree'd with me!!!

      I want this! It would be useful here at work!
      It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

        Indeed, Luckily in the UK we don't have armed and trigger happy police force.

        I mean if they were going to use a gun, a single shot to the log could have resolved that issue. Said it before horrible things.

        It's good to see the police use tasers rather than guns.

        I fail to see why I still wouldn't want this. I already own loads of pencils. I have loads of nails too, and they can kill people, just ask Jesus! (It's alright, he got better!)

        But owning lots of handguns makes Russell Brand's twin look so cool.
