Is every one picking on DaButt again? You know he didn't invade Iraq and he bears this up with great fortuity,
I'm not sure I entirely approve of people having easy access to lethal firepower. Not least because they're less likely to use it when the time comes.
But there is a lot of low level violent crime in the UK, assaults, muggings, burglaries etc. In part I suspect because most criminals feel unthreatened by the law, the police or their victims.
It doesn't make our streets no go areas, but it does make them more dangerous. I say license tear gas, tazers and firearms for those willing to pass a strenuos battery of tests and have a job,

Ok that's nuts. Bluntly the ownership of firearms permits incidents like Waco and the police to shoot felons claiming "I thought he was armed"
An argument that doesn't exist here or in a great many other countries where the government can't claim to feel physically threatened by the people.

Oi the Mexican government has been complaining about guns being smuggled there from the US!

Is that your chat up line?
