I don't know anything about survival or wildlife biology or human physiology. Ok. I'd say it's fairly obvious you know NOTHING about survival, so little in fact, you don't know enough to arm yourself to protect your loved ones. BTW, the Jews never imagined they'd get to visit the inside of an over when Hitler banned private citizens from owning firearms. Be a good little sheeple now and get back to grazing.

Wrong. I was a Scout and then joined the Australian Army Reserves when I was young and naive - I know how to survive if TSHTF - but then again I wouldn't expect an armchair expert such as yourself to know any of that.

People from the UK have much less to worry about. What is the largest animal in the UK? The neighbors dog? Yeah...down here in Texas we have 700lb hogs, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, foxes, wolves, and an occasional badger.
Add to that, in my town of 30k people we have 6 prisons and a mental health hospital that houses "forensic" patients. Yeah, i am keeping my guns.
A shotgun is not the issue here. (in the UK, you can get shotguns (farming and whatnot)). Handguns are the issue. You don't hunt or protect against wildlife with handguns, you use shotguns.
I fully support shotguns..hell, would give everyone a shotgun on earth if it was possible. They are big, bulky, and will in a pinch protect against home invasions on the occasional time it happens. You also need some knowledge to use it. a handgun has a specific purpose...that being, to kill humans quickly.
I think handguns need to have some serious rules on them...longer waiting period, a safety course, etc etc etc...basically institute the canadian way of doing things. This would secure the right, but not before they showed the ability.

wheres the progress in following something written 200 years ago
"The United States Constitution is the oldest written constitution still in use by any nation in the world"
err that is not a good thing.

If I could be bothered finding my old pictures of my scout and army days later on I'll scan them in and post them just to prove how wrong you are. How on Earth can u call BS on something like that when you know absolutely jack-all about me hmmm? Or is that just the 'armchair basement dweller' in you rearing it's ugly head?
Btw, Aussie scouts don't sell 'cookies' - they are taught proper survival and other skills right from day one, but you wouldnt know that would you, sitting there in your basement half a world away.
