That doesn't even make sense.

But back to the original theme of this thread... how do you defend yourself against a zombie without a gun? The whole point of defending yourself against them is to not let them touch you. Are you honestly suggesting hand to hand combat with a zombie? Even if you win you'll still lose.

In Shaun of the dead Shaun uses a cricket bat... Seems to work.

Sigh... What I meant was, in a country without gun ownership you still have the right to defend your self (this is the ONLY point I have been making)

hahahaha I'm 5'3" - am I gonna stand there and throw cans of soup at the guy or something?!?!?!?!

Exactly HOW do you propose I do so?

No, the government has stripped that right from you by taking away your equalizing force (guns).

I'm not proposing anything, I'm just saying that you have the legal right to defend yourself even if you don't have the legal right to own a gun. That is all.

You're one of those deluded americans that I can't be fucked to talk to about guns.

Blow in your rape whistle and wait 20 minutes for the police to arrive to your dead body :ninja:

You assholes are on your own. However if you can make it to my house I might not shoot you as your make you way across the pasture, which by that time will be mined.

Nah...hell....what am I saying? I'd shoot you without hesitation.

Good call. No hesitation if you want to survive.

What if I hold up a sign saying "IM FROM ATOT?"

He didn't have a gun until he got to the pub. The entire first 2/3 of the film the bat was his primary weapon.

So it took him 2/3 of the film to figure out what I've been saying all along? Shooting the zombies is WAY more efficient than batting 'em. :p

Generally that's not the convention in Zombie films, as guns run out of ammo and require reloading, when you want to survive long term you need to be good at hand to hand combat with them. Unless you have an unlimited supply of Ammo...
