Total ban would be the best idea.

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.

Well at least your country knows how to protect its citizens properly....such as through having a CCTV camera at every street corner.

I don't happen to agree with that.

Anyway, I was just being as condescending as posters like Pit have been.

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.

Not everyone who buys a gun legally is law abiding, as the said example has shown. I fail to see any reason why any law abiding person needs a gun.

For the same reason thinking US gun laws will work in the UK.

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

That's not what I was saying....

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.
