It was nonsense, or to put it another way, make-believe rubbish, though it
may been been good in the 70s.

As for shelving it by your reasoning, well that's just more nonsense, or to
put it another way, make-believe rubbish, though it may been been good in
the 70s.

Whilst I agree that the M10 can be put to heinous acts of crime, I fail
to see how banning crap John Wayne films is going to have any effect on
anything. What would be next, banning all films with cars in them
because of the daily carnage we have on our roads?

My friend was killed in a hit and run - ban all cars.
My mother killed herself by overdosing on pain killers - ban pills.
My uncle and auntie were killed as children during the 2nd WW - ban wars.
Simplistic opinions cook my head - ban idiots.

Another idiot demonising inanimate objects. Ted Kennedy has killed more
people than my own gun.

You can't legally own any handgun/submachine gun in the UK so banning a shit
film with these used won't make a jotof difference - the twats waving these
around Brum won't be watching this crap even if you are.

I would switch off and go for a walk - or read a book

Yeah, that _really_ was what i was proposing wasn't it - "advertising
doesn't work"? What a clever extrapolation. Anyway, must rush, I've just
seen a man in a wig in the house of commons and I'm gonna go buy one and try
beat someone to death with it.

Please don't reply to this, I really can't be arsed talking to you as you're
advertising idiocy and I fear I might have to buy into it.

Cars have a legitimate use as well as an illegitimate one. A Mac10 has NO
legitimate use whatsoever in the UK.

Only if you are the sort of person who thinks the slaughter of two innocent
teenage girls is some sort of a joke too.
The only representation of these weapons on UK TV should be a negative and
condemnatory one.

Most automatic weapon magazines can double as a bottle opener - read any
Vietnam autobiography.

I agree with M.M., there's no decent use for a Mac10.
As for your final word - that says it all about you.

Looks like you are making Mark's point even more effectively than he did!

Well, if you want to get technical about it then the M10 didn't kill
anyone, the 9mm bullets did the damage. And if you're going to tell me
that 9mm bullets have no legitimate uses in the UK then perhaps you'd
like to tell her majesty's armed forces they'd better hand in all their
9mm bullets too.

If they're all just carrying around 9mm ammunition then their
Regimental Quartermaster Sergeants are going to have a lot of
explaining to do ;-)

Actually, the SA-80 is a 5.56 mm calibre weapon whereas it's the MP5,
which they'd probably all prefer, which is a 9mm calibre weapon. Any
side-arms that they might have are a different manner - but there
again i doubt many are using 9mm weaponry.

The police, on the other hand, seem to like their MP5s...

The standard NATO side arm calibre is 9mm. As used in the Beretta 92F
used by nearly all NATO armies, though we still have quite a few
Browning Hi-Powers (also 9mm) kicking about in the British armed forces.

They should ban guns I think. Then all these nasty gun crimes will stop!
