i understand the concept of keeping guns in your house to protect you, your family and your posessions...but honestly..i think that banning guns is a great idea..its banned here in the UK and although gun crimes still occurr..they are much lower because it is more difficult to get a gun here than in the states.
i hate governments as much as the next guy but i dont think the banning of guns is to take away your freedom..i think its to reduce the amount of deaths by gunshot...if guns were banned criminals would use other slightly less dangerous weapons...obviously there will still be gun crime but still...more criminals will switch to bats and knives at least you can run from that...u cant outrun a bullet.
so many people dont know the protocol for protecting yourself.... a ban on guns may keep innocent people from jail for using a gun in the wrong situation. deaths from domestic violence may fall if there isnt a gun in the home.
i know that here in the UK if someone attempts to burgle my house while im in it...my 9 iron will do the trick...a couple of blows to the knees and a phonecall to the police and the guy will wish he'd been shot. theres plenty of things you can protect yourself with
im just saying...no guns? probly more of a good thing imo

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Your country has been, in effect, disarmed. I believe that I read somewhere, quite recently, that most pocket knives had been banned in Great Britian. That essentially reduces the citizenery to resorting to caveman tactics of using clubs for protection, while those who are criminals will have access to more advanced weapons which essentially put honest citizens at the mercy of those who disdain the new laws of the land.

Your whole post sounds like a threat.
I mean like you are working behind the scenes yourself to see there is some doom and gloom in our future. Will that be a good day for you? Will you find meaning to your life only if the # hits the fan?
I know lots of people who keep talking about a revolution, want a war, predict a civil war, egg people on to wage a war...and you want to know the real reason why?
Fighting is the thing they are best at.
