First step in stopping gun atrocities in Europe
I have been reading about the terrorist gun attacks in Paris and Brussels and the guy shooting up the Mac D's in Germany.
Seems there is a legitimate flow of deactivated automatic and semi auto weapons from eastern europe, same for hand guns.
In this incidents, they were reactivated before use.
They need to close the loophole allowing these weapons to be sold across EU. It takes minutes to reactivate them in a machine shop.Comment

It's not as simple as that.Originally posted by vetran View Postso how do you think importing more bodies when we are already short of housing is going to affect these poor people?
Unlike in other areas of the country some of them have lived abroad themselves, have members of their family who have emigrated or have members of their family who are immigrants including their own spouse.
Their actual anger tends to be with big business, local councillors etc who disallow planning permission for housing for normal people but are happy to allow luxury housing or student housing, and allow derelict land to be left empty for decades."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Don't let guns - including deactivated ones, and we thank you for bring this to our attention - into the hands of males.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostI have been reading about the terrorist gun attacks in Paris and Brussels and the guy shooting up the Mac D's in Germany.

and you are getting confused as to when a refugee becomes an economic migrant.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI see, you are confusing he reasons why people leave a country and the reasons why they subsequently select new country a where they would like to be.
A couple of informative tables here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...gee_population
Once they have passed through a safe country they stop being a refugee and become a migrant.
Asylum shopping is prohibited by international law. You go to the first safe country and they consider asylum, after that you are just an illegal.
Now if you said we were doing a poor job policing the refugee camps on the Syrian border I would agree.Comment

What a shame. They can always go somewhere else.Comment

It is as simple as that, more bodies = more homes needed.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostIt's not as simple as that.

If you look at recent mass killings in Europe or USA, there is a strong correlation with the perpetrator being male. Regrettably, the PC right prefers to talk about religion and migration status, rather than gender.Originally posted by vetran View Postyeah we only want Jilly Jihadis!Comment
