Used to have them in U.K, The National Rifle and Pistol Association + others, until that idiot shot the kids in Scotland. Then the Government took it as a good reason to ban all gun ownership.
What happened? Now the gangs that used to have one or two stolen pistols, ie stolen pistols that had belonged to legal ownners, went else where for their guns. Russia (all ex Soviet and communist block country's), Bosnia, Middle East, South America.
NOW they have everything from Uzi's, Ingrams, Kalashnikovs, to R.P.G launchers (Rocket propeled grenades). They are better armed than the police, and more of them.
Because these were NEVER registered in U.K, they do not even have to bother with getting rid of them after a crime, because they are totaly untraceable. =D>
Gun crime has shot (

) up. Because before the guns were basicaly in the hands of responsible people. Now
only the criminals can get them.
Only 1 or 2% of crime was ever comited by legal firearms owners. Now 100% of guncrime is illeagal from the very first instance the gun enters the country, until it is used. There are estimated to be 400% more guns in circulation now, in U.K, than before the ban!:-?
Rape is one of the other crimes I think should carry the death sentence. Or have I already said that?
Murder CAN be accidental, paedophilia and rape takes thought and/or practice.
