Britons are free to live without the constant threat of being murdered by a gun, either by a criminal or a thuggish policeman.

*FACEPALM*

If you ban guns, criminals will still have them--guns are not nonexistent in the UK. They can also resort to killing by other means, you know.


Are you really that off the wall?

Haha, that's ironic.

Believe it or not, I enjoy the thought that it is so hard to acquire a gun. The country is far safer for it. This is a country and a culture which has always been hostile to legalised gun ownership. The only people who ought to be allowed guns are the police.

So, you really are that off the wall after all.

Your entire country is off the wall for believing it's okay to give people guns.

Of course it's ok. Why do you hate freedom, anyway? Weren't you a libertarian once?

I don't hate freedom. Quite the opposite. I support the freedom for people to walk the streets safely without the fear of a nutter going round shooting people up.

Right, and you still haven't addressed the points made in my first reply--the bad people are still going to have guns, even if they are illegal. Illegalizing guns, therefore, create the illusion of safer streets when in fact criminals still have guns all along. Why, then, must we make it harder for law abiding citizens to have guns? Gun rights can be abused, just like all other rights, but that doesn't mean that we should ban all guns.

I fail to see any reason why any law abiding person needs a gun.

So now you're saying that things should be legal only if they're "needed"? That's not hating freedom at all....

I was making the point that not everyone who buys a gun intends to use it to break the law.

You hate freedom too. Like women's reproductive rights. So don't preach to me like that. Conservatives are the worst offenders when it comes to encroaching on freedom.

Go away.
