If handguns were legal in Spain, there would be no terrorism by ETA. My girlfriend is European (from Madrid), and had this attitude until I let her hold a gun, explained how bullets and guns work and she is much more relaxed around them. Guns are inert and don't kill people. What scares me are countries where people like ETA members are allowed to walk free and kill at will, the citizens are not allowed to defend themselves, and the government is too scared to do anything. ETA assassins use 9mms, and are in Spain.

I live in France, but I'm Spanish. In fact, I'm from Madrid.
Are you saying that if handguns were legal it wouldn't be ETA?
I think that's plainly wrong. It would only do the ETA task easier. Now, to have a gun, they must get it in the black market, if they were legal they could buy it, or steal it for any gun carring people on the street.

The governement too scared? (I think this thread risk being closed by political, but since it's Spanish political, maybe Piratecat will have merci with me)

Man, the governement follows the law. Maybe we are all wrong, but after fifty years of dictature, most of us believe in democracy, civil rights, innocent until proved guilty and so on! The system isn't perfect, and guilty goes sometimes free, but at least no innocent are legally killed...

Well, sorry, I think I was a bit rude. But returning to the theme...

What would change in Spain if handguns were legal? Most ETA kills are done BY THE BACK or with a bomb. What would change if the victim had a handgun? He would be killed (and the terrorist will take his gun and add it to their arsenal).

Bad Horacio! Obviously you haven't been keeping up your intake of quiche and focaccia lately. Have some more. Free of charge, even.

BTW, what _is_ the Spanish equivalent of quiche and/or focaccia? As far as I know, both of these are Italian. I'm not sure what that says about the Italians. Although quiche could be French. All I know is that neither of them compare to MEAT PIES! With GRAVY! And the little aluminium foil things they come in make great frisbees for chucking at people, especially at the cricket.


maybe Piratecat will have merci with me

Piratecat will thank you?

Get a grip. I was reacting to someone without experience with guns making a judgement call, no thread hijacking. He asked questions, I answered, and offered my opinion. I grew up with and maintain several guns, and still hold a valid US passport and have never spent a night in jail, therefore, guns maybe don't turn people into homicidal maniacs.

No, guns don't turn people into homicidal maniacs.
That's true. I don't argue about that.

But guns DO turn wannabe homicidal maniacs into really dangerous homicidal maniacs.

Last week, here in French Brittany, a policeman was killed in a precint by a madman with an AK47 and two Magnum .357 who was chasing two young after a traffic discussion. And less than a month ago, another madman killed twelve members of the town council during a town council session in a town near Paris. They had guns, they used it. If they hadn't had guns, maybe they would have used knives, but it would be difficult they would have done the same damage. Yes, and here handguns are mostly illegal...
 

Stop discussing guns, or the thread gets closed.

This falls under the "don't talk about RL politics" policy; gun control counts, too. Please get the thread back on topic.
 

The Dunwich Camping Trip (con’t)

It's Monday and that means another installment in...

The Dunwich Camping Trip (con’t)

Action started with, John, our second Desert Eagle wielder. He ran into the woods, located the old man and fired, blasting a gaping wound into his chest. One enemy down, one to go. Meanwhile, our medic made it out of the tent with Marta’s shotgun and fired blindly in the general direction of the sniper, barely even hitting the ground. Saquina snuck around down towards the sniper, staying well out of his line of fire. Jessica, her decision swayed by Samuel’s dead body lying near her, decided to hunker down and pop the sniper if he moved by her. The archer retook a position in a tree and tried to find the sniper for a long-range shot. The sniper, homing in on the medic’s muzzle flash fired at her, and missed by inches.

John walked through the wood towards the sniper, but unfortunately stepped on a tree branch, which broke with a loud crack. The medic ran for cover and dived behind a fallen log. Saquina continued her long hook around and behind the sniper’s position, and Jessica remained in her hollow. The sniper, able to locate anyone but John, fired at him and missed.

John, locating the sniper’s position, took off at a crouched jog across the field, ending only 20 feet away in plain sight. Saquina ended her hike and found herself a mere 40 feet behind the sniper, but she decided to wait until next round so as to close to point blank range and take him out with one shot. Neither the archer nor Jessica were moving, and it seemed like someone was going to get killed when the medic stepped out from behind cover and fired. Since she had no idea where he was, she need to roll to see in she guessed the right location.

Roll for location-20
Roll for hit-20
Roll to confirm critical-17
Roll to negate concealment-16
Roll for damage-11
Roll for massive damage-5

And the buzzer sounds.
Investigators-2, Cultists-1.5

After searching the bodies, they found on the man a strange and insanely written letter signed by someone called H’ch-Pi-El, and near the sniper they found a bag with two strange red robes with pointed caps, a knife, and a puppy. They decided to takes the sniper’s M1 Garand rifle and ammo, and leave the rest. After rigging an impromptu litter with a sleeping bag and some sticks, they carried Marta back to the car, leaving 3 unburied bodies, a shotgun, and most of their camping supplies.

The drove to Arkham Hospital, and put Marta in the trauma ward while the archer (parapsychology) and Saquina borrowed the medic pass and performed blood tests on the puppy, who they thought might have some sort of bio-engineered disease due to some clues in the letter. Meanwhile John and the medic were sitting in the waiting room when a police officer walked in and said. “Are you connected with Marta Woodham. I have some questions for you…”

Man, they just left their friend's body lying out in the woods? Cold.

The person who was playing Samuel had to leave before the conclusion of the battle (since he was dead, it didn't matter), and that was more ot less his reaction, except he used words like ****ards, ****head, ***faces, and ****ing morons.

And of course they have 3 bodies lying in the woods, two of which can be traced to firearms currently in the investigators' possession, right next to a campsite with equipment bearing their name, address, phone number and mother's middle initial.

Even the Dunwich folk know enough to call the cops on this one.
 

Definitively, your PCs are a bunch of psychos...

Good story, at least show what Cthulhu investigators shouldn't do :)

And I like your writting style. Why don't you post it in the story hour forum?
 

The Dunwich Camping Trip (Part 3)

The Dunwich Camping Trip (Part 3)

Marta regained consciousness in the hospital in the hospital, and asked the nurse to send some of her friends in.

The Bill, parapyschologist, and Saquina read over the letter once more while waiting for the tests to complete. Some sort of strange sign had developed on the letter, but both made their sanity checks.

Meanwhile, Nikki, our medic was desperately trying to explain what exactly went on to involve Marta (and Samuel) getting shot. She spun a story where they were caught in a crossfire between two groups, and how in their defense of themselves Marta and Samuel were shot. He almost bought it, but asked in he could take a look at their car. Nikki tried to pass the keys to John, so that while she and the officer looked for the car, John would take the guns out and throw them in the Miskatonic. However the police officer spotted them and called them on it.

Just them the nurse came in and said that Marta wanted to see her friends, so Nikki and John dashed in leaving Jessica to deal with the police officer. Nikki filled Marta in on what had happened, and Marta recommended that as soon as she was out of the hospital, everybody should flee to Mexico or Canada.

*I apologize for the shortness of this session, but most of it was spent with everybody yelling about what they were going to do. And of course they invariably picked the worst way to go about it. Their hanky-panky with the police officer only served to antagonize him, and there are 3 dead bodies, 2 of which can be traced to guns in their possession, right next to a campsite with equipment bearing their names, addresses and phone numbers.
