Contrary to public perception, the overall level of gun crime in England and Wales is very low – less than 0.5% of all crime recorded by the police.

Without a reasonable excuse guns shouldn't be used by anybody.From all the posts in this thread i understand vulnerable families in deprived areas who are subjected to gang violence in the area being armed and those who are disabled and are prey for burglars. What i still dont understand is young men and women who are easily influenced being able to get there hands on them, for the ones who have minds like sponges it may not take much to influence them to take out there weapon on unwilling civilians.

I didn;t purposely try to avoid your question, I was responding to a few posters at 1 time, I'll do my best now.
Physical assaults on physically impaired, we may have to redo this one, because I'm unclear if you mean like wheelchair, or amputee's.....
I wasn't aware there was more of a likelyhood of incidents in that group,
and don't see why they should have a gun , as opposed to others.
I never said Gun Ownership is wrong, at home.

If you live in the UK and are all warm and cuddly with the gun laws there--- What the heck are you here getting all confused about American law and statistics? Your happy with your rights why try to influence folks that are happy with theirs and want to keep them?

Guns are for self defense. In the home outside the outside the home, or wherever you may roam. One the street, or in the yard. In a store or with a whore.
Guns are for zoorks, blorks and zingeroos. Guns are fun at zoos, canoes or riding kangaroos.

Yay for Virginia! Proud to say my state is making sense. All the changes sound like good common sense and I'm especially glad for the more than 1 handgun a month change. Hope things go well at the Supreme Court the next few days.

No country should have the public being eligible to access firearms in my opinion. Reason being is they cause harm/distress/souring crime rates and murder. Being armed to protect yourself is a silly idea, just use common sense and avoid gang infested streets at night. I dont see what good can possibly come from owning a weapon.

It's a shame these thugs felt the need to assault you, they are both petty and cowardly. They tend to attack in groups as they know one on one they wouldn't be able to take you on, we need harsher sentences for these people

That's because our founding fathers didn't have morals that we share today. They acted on basic insticts, can you imagine a future in which our children have to walk the streets knowing the majority of people around them are armed? It'll just inflict fear and worry in most citizens, at the end of the day i cant imagine any other reason to carry a gun other than to cause harm.
