Amirite?

APC is a weapon of war, they do not belong in the streets.



So are firearms, your point?

That depends. I against fully automatic firearms in the street (that means machine guns, fully automatic assault rifles, machine pistols, etc). Plus, what kind of idiot will drive around the streets with an APC? I know you have done some crazy things in the past, but if you managed to purchase and drive a military APC, then I gotta hand it to you.

Why would I have to purchase them when I have an industrial complex that makes them?

How it's legal to drive a military APC on public roads as a civilian, I have no idea.

He can't actually drive them. Firstly, they're illegal. Secondly, Boris doesn't have the qualifications to do so as most APC's don't fit within the licence categories. Ergo, driving without a licence is a crime.

Besides, everything anyone claims about themselves with regards to owning businesses is a godmod anyway. You cannot all of a sudden claim to own a multi-billion dollar mega-corporation.

It's not really a loophole, it's just business. Though really it's limited to the test facility, I could not actually take any of them out on the roads if I wanted to stay out of trouble.


Mind you, one can buy vehicles like the Marauder in SA. That even comes with a complimentary AK I believe.


EDIT: Wait's for costa to call South Africans mental.

So the new school year starts for me tomorrow, so from then on I'll be a bit less active than I've been for the last month and a half. I'll still get on every day and keep up with things, but I won't be online for as many hours per day.

Well we're the exceptionally strange bunch. Where else in the Western world can you find a strong fascist party, a Boris Johnson clone, 35 year olds as the standard age for Senators, high crime rate that makes Chicago safe, a multi-billionaire Marxist who fields CIA type gadgets, and Senators that look like some celebrities or political figures?

I'd doubt that. Aurentina doesn't appear to have a significantly high murder rate or general crime. I'd say it's more like Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

People get murdered all the time, People are RPed being taken away and never seen again, mobs fight each other, police fight mobs, nutter go around flinging poo and macheteing people, hobo's shooting and robbing, bombings, street battles, riot's, violent protests, murders, plane terrorism, tanks and air force killing innocent's, groups that beat up on immigrants, and NI that makes people disappear like that protest leader and the list goes on. And that's just what's RPed mainly in the capital by the people in the senate. On top of that one can add all the murders that happen in countries all over the world, the rape the violent crime, a nation full of guns and other lethal equipment.

I doubt there is a western nation if not any nation in the world with as high a rate of lawful or unlawful killing rate as we do.

Mexico is probably the best comparison but with more larger scale violence.
