Some on ATS may know that I am a recent convert to the “pro-gun” crowd mostly because I have been convinced that there is a direct coloration between gun ownership and lower incidents of violent crime mostly thanks to ATS. When comparing the violent crime rates of America with the UK the statistics all appear to show that America has less violent crime than the UK, these statistics I have found vary depending on the source.

yeh as for the gun been around my children they would never even know i owned one i would never even dream of leaving painkillers lying about let alone a gun. my children do not enter my bedroom as it is respect of my privacy same as i do not enter there's and root about. we have a very good understanding of each other also something like that would be kept in a safe out of their way.
i would never risk my kids life my job is to protect them. not put them at risk
errr why?
I know how easy it is to get an illegal handgun (which I would never do) and as I and many others have said, the only civilians who have handguns in this country now are criminals.

i would never shoot anyone but would feel safer having some form of defense .
A simple thought would be at the old firm derby of celtic and rangers with guns...
Can I please have the right to defend myself back.
Freedom is a thing of the past in the UK, Little by little they are taking away our human rights!
that never happened when the hand guns were leagal
Also have you ever been to a old firm derby, they are not really that bad.
........enough time for a criminal (with a gun) to kill you and you family and get away. it is not police responsibility to sort out society it is up to us all,
