You don't get arrested for gun ownership. You get arrested for illegal gun ownership. There's not a ban on all guns, we've got a shotgun upstairs actually, perfectly legal.

How do you have a shotgun though? I bet you've got it either for hunting or through some sort of gun club?
You'd know better than me, seeing as I don't even know how to legally obtain a gun in this country, but do you have to give reasons when you buy a gun?
I mean, in the USA, people buy guns purely for self defence.
I know farmers can probably get guns for keeping animals off their land etc, but I live on a housing estate.... could I legally buy a gun for self defence?
I think that's the point here... maybe you can have a gun, and use it in self defence, but are you actually LEGALLY ALLOWED to buy a gun solely for the purpose of defending your family and property?
