Lippy Londoner fights off Jihadi terrorists

LOL! You're funny!
Be careful not to take those quotes out of context.
Matt: Cassidy and others are speaking generically. Yes, the terrorists in the latest skirmish didn't have firearms. But, others do. Whether the firearm is legally acquired or possessed is of no concern to them or to the criminals among us. The last is to say I do not view the ISIS, al Qaeda, et al. as basically criminal matters. Dealing with them is a mix of criminal and battlefield law.
I don't think any of them - apart from Irish ones - have had firearms in the UK
You? Anyone with an IQ greater than his hat size knows criminals don't obey gun laws. And most of the non-bomb related terrorist attacks have included the use of illegally possessed firearms.
What rock have you been living under?
Which attacks?
You and squire have far more patience than I. I can't see the reason why something so simple has to be explained to anyone, no matter what their hat size.
Every terrorist attack in the U.S. last year in which someone other than the perpetrator was killed involved guns.
Guns have become the weapon of choice for terrorists - Daily Kos.
Daesh, also known as ISIL/ISIS, not only has great diversity among its fighters, hailing from over 80 different countries, but also a wide collection of arms and military equipment manufactured around the world.
AK-47 Assault Rifle
M-16 Assault Rifle
H&K MP-5 Assault Rifle
FN FAL Assault Rifle
RPK Light Machine Gun
Dragunov Sniper Rifle

We are not talking about the US but the UK, the subject matter of this thread. I ask again: what firearms have been used by Islamist terrorists in the UK?

The thread is about the UK attacks. Start a thread on terrorism elsewhere if you want by all means. But if people want to criticise British gun control laws as per page 1 of this thread , then kindly stick to the gun stats for terror attacks in the UK
No, it is not. It is about a beer drinking football fan who attacked the terrorists with his bare hands.
Response to to your first post above: Which was then hijacked by people talking about guns....to which I responded...and there we are then.
Response to your second post: now I know you're joking - we've had seven years of one of the most right-wing Conservative governments in our history, slashing welfare benefits in a way that would have made Maggie Thatcher blush. Socialist? You're avin a giraffe, mate!

So, you really don't understand how socialist the UK is? Remember Clement Atlee who nationalized a lot of industry and healthcare?
"All this produced a revolution in British economic life, until in the end direction and control turned Great Britain into a country more fully socialist than anything achieved by the conscious planners of Soviet Russia." (A. J. P. Taylor, English History: 1914-1945 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1965), p. 507.)
Yes, I'm well aware of the social democracy achievements of the post-war Labour government. Are you likewise aware that Thatcher undid most of that and that your assessment of Britain's political state is about 30 years out of date? And that's before you add in what the Tories have done in the last seven years.
As Tony Benn said
"Pay fair wages and support the poor, all that money is spent and stays in the economy. Pay the rich with tax concessions, etc, and all that money is lost to the economy."
Real Socialism does work for the benefit of all.
Communism is not Socialism.
American democracy is not true democracy - it just keeps the rich and powerful in power.
I hope all the British members of the former are voting Labour or Green.
Voting Labour today even though I am in a safe Tory seat.
