Yeah the UK sure got it right, make guns illegal so only criminals end up having them. That was about as smart as the US outlawing alcohol.
I think it is amusing when anti-gun people think of you as condoning murder and mayhem because you support the right to bear arms. Do they think people that drive cars are murderers? By that logic they must because thousands die every year from car accidents. Get rid of cars and you save all those lives...
I will never understand why some people can't separate the machine or tool from the human action. Eliminating it will not stop a person from killing another person.
