Top Gear is a British television series about motor vehicles, primarily cars, and is the most widely watched factual television programme in the world. It began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine programme. Over time, and especially since a relaunch in 2002, it has developed a quirky, humorous and sometimes controversial style.

Exactly, give kids guns and they go and shoot up their schools. 'MURICA

People under 18 can't buy guns.

#26 to #13 - alanflindt (07/13/2014) [-]

Oh i guess that means that no one under the age of 18 will every get a gun then

#30 to #26 - anon (07/13/2014) [-]

legally. No.

So why ban them if they can still get their hands on them.

#34 to #13 - infraredanus (07/14/2014) [-]

Thats not true. It's 16 I think.

#42 to #34 - endospore (07/14/2014) [-]

18 for long guns, 21 for concealed carry, at least where I live.

#4 to #1 - traelos (07/13/2014) [-]

You don't really understand crime statistics do you?

American paintjob on a glorious Russian deathmachine.

Not recognizing thats a chinese gun- do you even gun?

Except note the white spike bayonet and the detachable magazine. So its likely this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_68_%28China%29 or a 56 with an aftermarket mag.

#25 to #24 - alexandrz (07/13/2014) [-]

Cheap knock-off? Yes. Does that change the fact that the original design is Russian? No.

A chinese copy of something is chinese. Otherwise I have some Fine swiss watches to sell you.

Still only 104th in violent crime in the world, tho.

-4

#11 to #2 - fukkentyranitar (07/13/2014) [-]

But in the top five for most guns per citizen (#1) and gun violence/deaths.

#12 to #11 - anon (07/13/2014) [-]

Not even close to #1 in gun homicides.

-4

#15 to #12 - theguywhoaskswhy (07/13/2014) [-]

Thats not a point in American favour. The difference is between murder and suicide/stupidity.
So while you're people may not be as murderous, they are far more dumb and miserable.

#19 to #15 - anon (07/13/2014) [-]

And even if you account for total gun deaths, the US isn't even in the top 10.

#47 to #15 - theguywhoaskswhy (07/15/2014) [-]

Wow minus 4? lets make it minus 40

#14 to #12 - fukkentyranitar (07/13/2014) [-]

I said top five buddy. The US does have the most guns per capita though.

#18 to #14 - anon (07/13/2014) [-]

It barely makes the top 20 in homicide.

#3 - isuriand ONLINE (07/13/2014) [-]

Anyone know which episode this clip came from?

#5 to #3 - shadowmancer (07/13/2014) [-]

It's from the special where Jeremy and James drive to the North Pole while Richard takes a team of sled dogs. I don't remember the season, but it came out in 2007. Think it was actually called the Polar Special. Hope this helps.

Didn't check if the scene was in this episode, but here's part 1.

Thanks, I'll take a look for it.

There are 5 rules taught to everyone that ever has shot a gun in America.

1. NEVER point a gun at anything you dont want to shoot.
2. Finger off the intense bodyloveing trigger.
3. Every gun should be treated as if its loaded. The "unloaded" gun kills tge mostpeople.
4. Its not a intense bodyloveing toy, dont wave it around.
5. its a responsibility and a privilege, not something to give you power.

America has the most gun crime, and thats because we have the most guns. Violent crime rates are similar in places that aren't america to that number.

#39 to #29 - demandsgayversion (07/14/2014) [-]

Odds are if you see a statistic like "most gun crime", it's per capita.

#43 to #39 - anonmynous (07/14/2014) [-]

Odds are if you read any vague sounding statistic, you should assume that whoever quoted it is biased in some way and probably erase that fact from you're memory

#44 to #43 - demandsgayversion (07/14/2014) [-]

Because how many crimes are committed with a gun is TOTALLY vague and unmeasurable.

#45 to #44 - anonmynous (07/14/2014) [-]

You just proved my point. There is a big difference between "number of crimes committed with a gun" which is completely measurable. And "gun crime" which is vague, and yet you just used those interchangeably.

#46 to #45 - demandsgayversion (07/14/2014) [-]

It's not vague. It's extremely clear that "gun crime" is "crime committed with a gun". What the fuuck else would it be? Crimes committed by guns? Crime committed against guns? It's not vague in that it only has a single reasonable meaning.

#41 to #29 - pxthreezerothree (07/14/2014) [-]

Actually, the increase in gun ownership seems to correlate with a decrease in gun crime. Not that that necessarily means these one caused the other but does reveal that it is a more complicated isssue than just the number of guns.

I also agree with what you said in beginning of you're comment

#36 to #29 - economicfreedom (07/14/2014) [-]

America does not have the most gun crime

#21 - theguywhoaskswhy (07/13/2014) [-]

Pretty sure my people just believe that killing off the countries citizens is bad for the economy.

#28 - auryn (07/13/2014) [-]

I don't know why everybody is always so freaked out about looking in a gun barrel, it's not like it could magically go off any second.

#31 to #28 - sytheris (07/14/2014) [-]

It's gotten people killed before. No reason to be stupid about it.

#32 to #31 - auryn (07/14/2014) [-]

I'm not saying you shouldn't practice gun safety.

I'm just saying they're highly overreacting.

Nothing is going to happen if yóur finger isn't on the trigger, and even if it is nothing is going to happen until you pull the trigger. I think we can all agree that you've got to be a special kind of stupid to fúck that up.

#35 to #32 - anon (07/14/2014) [-]

its just bad etiquette. makes bad habits. i used to think it wasnt a big deal either until i started going to a range and saw people with just bad habits. creates a bad vibe

#37 to #35 - auryn (07/14/2014) [-]

I agree

Once again I'm not saying you shouldn't practice gun safety.

#38 to #37 - economicfreedom (07/14/2014) [-]

Which Gun Safety Rule Is Most Important?

nice vid

#40 to #28 - skrimus (07/14/2014) [-]

Well, in my opinion you should never have to look through a barrel from that side, I mean it's perfectly fine to look through the bore from the other side, or I guess through the other end (if necessary) only if the gun has been checked and cleared (by you) . And in this instance it seems he was handed a gun and immediately looked down the barrel. Almost like a 3 year old would.
