In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Totally agree.
At least to CR's credit he isn't one of those loons who owns a gun because he's scared of the feds...or is he?
I used to have a tyre lever beside my bed in case anyone broke in. An AR-15 would've been more effective. Would be worried that I do something with it when pissed though.
Q1. Are you a nutter?
What kind of questions did it contain?
Q2. Are you sure?
Q3. Do you promise?
What kind of questions did it contain?
I can't even remember. I'm sure they were easy if you know a bit about shooters. I just bought mine on a whim. I've fired it twice at the range in 6 years. fecking waste of money.
I do take it out sometimes and talk to it...
What kind of questions did it contain?
1. Have you ever fired two guns while jumping in the air?
2. Have you ever fired one gun while jumping in the air?
3. Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?
4. Have you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone ahh?
Well, it is certainly not healthy that one can get a AR-15 with a few days wait.
As an example, to get a pistol in Norway you will need to have a perfect police record, mental health and notice of "decency" from the police. Then you have to be a member of a pistol club for one year where you are trained in safe use, safe keeping and gun etiquette etc. then after one year as a member there you can apply to buy a gun.

I can believe that.At least you know you have it for those times your enemies come to your house to get you.
Going to the range is pretty funny though. You see all sorts with all kinds of weaponry. It is a real eye-opener about just who is allowed to buy guns.
Ah yes, I've been brainwashed. Good to know! Hold on while I go out in the back yard and beat my swords into plowshears and spears into pruning hooks now that I've been enlightened.
I wonder what safety features you encounter on a daily basis you really don't need... statistically speaking?
Do you all have the adage "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"?
Well, why did you buy your gun(s)?
Agree, why have a fire alarm in your house? Fires happen so seldom.
Definitely not. I believe I have clearly stated my reasons for gun ownership.
Can you not get one then if you have any form of police record? Even if it wasn't a crime of 'moral terpitude'?
This guy bought his guns to shoot gay people. That's it. Mission accomplished in his eyes.
Carbon monoxide monitor as well. What's the point?
Then it becomes a case of interpretation, say if you have 3 DUI's the police might deem you to have a drinking problem, and therefore not be fit to have a gun.
I have spent the last 15mn imagining you singing "Boom chicka wa wa" everytime you hand polish your gun.
Depends on the gun and depends on what you mean by carry.

As I've said, I hunt with some, while others are for self and home defense.
I haven't cleaned it in years. I'm gonna stick it in the dishwasher.
To be fair a fire alarm or carbon monoxide monitor aren't going to enable you to shoot a load of people if you lose the plot because someone cut you up at some lights one day.
Same goes for a fire extinguisher, worst case scenario the house invader might take it from you and bash your head in with it. That is if he didn't bring his own fire extinguisher, which he most likely did.
But what reasoning did you apply for the home defense? Did you examine the statistics, were there incidents near to you?
Makes sense. I only have one DUI, so they'd probably recognise that I was unlucky.
That nine year old that accidentally shot the instructor with an Uzi. Under what circumstances could any law abiding citizen have the need to own an Uzi.
That would be one interesting smoke/carbon monoxide alarm.
The 'right' to bear arms is at the root of Americas problem with guns.
That right was bestowed in wildly different circumstances, and related to wildly different arms.
No, criminals owning illegal firearms shouldn't be reason enough to own a gun, it isn't here (Ireland), and never has been despite our history of having an armed terrorist group operating in the county (to go along with our criminals), thats what police forces are for.
Unless you live in an isolated region, miles from civilisation personal protection should not be an acceptable reason to own a gun. Certainly not some of the weapons available in the US anyway.
American gun laws, and a right to bear arms are nuts. Personally I'm much happier living in a society that doesn't give everyone the 'right' to own a gun by default. And I say that as someone who has owned guns for almost 30 years and at times been frustrated by the strictness of our gun laws, glad to say we haven't had anyone walk into a school and blow away a bunch of kids with guns they had a right to own, to protect themselves from some nondescript enemy.
That guy with the guns and explosives in his car was up to something as well, apparently
Man with weapons and possible explosives arrested, was going to L.A. gay pride parade, sources say

So, as long as the people attacking you/your house are in a pantomime horse costume, you're laughing.
Uzis are wicked. I've got a pic of me with one. This Turkish guard at Sarajevo barracks came to tell us to pipe down but we just gave him a drink and all posed with his gun.
There isn't a risk to owning the fire alarm that statistically outweighs the benefit.
Edit: *As far as I know.
Not only that, but incidents where they actually thought a reasonable response would be to shoot someone in retaliation.
And he polishes it as fast as he likes.
I must admit that even though I think it is just wrong that you can decide to buy a AR-15, a UZI or a MAC-10 on Saturday, and basically have it in your hand by Tuesday, I would own the shit out of those guns if I lived in the US.
Because shooting stuff at the range is fun, just admit it.
