I thought it was a vocal minority who thought that.

Hmm, I'm shocked it is that low. Quite certain it's much higher where I live.

We who were the legal responsible gun owners in the UK said at the time that if guns were made illegal, only criminals would have them. Yes, there are still plenty of guns around if you know where to ask. But they are not being given up simply because it is an offense to own them.

I'm not for asking for anyone to turn any guns in.
I'm in favor of a 6 month waiting period with a more comprehensive back ground check on sales of hand guns and assault rifles.

i'm all for a no guns policy. we dont need guns on civvy street here in the uK. ok in some rural parts of the US, Canada, etc etc. you need them but why does someone in New York or any of the big US cities need one, its not like a bear is going to go strolling down the street now is it.

guns are only good for one thing and thats killing.

Guns are also a sport.
Clays are an enjoyable test of skill.
My son also has plenty of good fun with scouts target shooting..

I have a firearms certificate and a .22 rifle. I use it t cull rabbits on 3 local farmers land. They were overrun with them when I was first asked to cull them. So there is a need for some people to have rifles at least. No real argument for handguns though.

Hand guns only really for competition shooting I'd say.

Guns are themselves harmless,it's the motive of their use that's the problem,America will not surrender it's arms and nor will the criminal element,so guns are here to stay,the irony of it is you'll soon need a gun to protect you from someone with a gun!!!

and who are the only people who benefit from this.. the arms dealers. who is one of the biggest arms dealer in the world... hmmm let me see now. if the USA, UK, France, Russia etc.etc never sold gun each country would be completely up shizz creak without so much as a spoon.

say what you like about guns and other weapons they only have one use and that is destruction. ban the lot of them i say. its easy to pull a trigger in the heat of things.
