Watch out; it's a slippery slope !

Have fun !

And as my Gran always likes to say, when all guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have guns. If I ever make it to Prime Minister that ban is one law I'll be striking off!

Personally I think all the handgun ban did was stop the hobbyists and legal owners. If a gangster is going to shoot another gangster, do you think they care if the gun is legal? Of course not!

I'm all for concealed carry and arming the police. That way, when some idiot decides hes going to mug your granny, shes going to pull a .38 on the guy. And so will all the other people on the street. And the policeman on the corner.

I reckon that'd make most criminals think twice! But the fact is they know they're untouchable and 99.9% of the people who they attack will be unarmed and put up little fight. And thats why we have stories every day here of someone being murdered in a petty mugging, or for no reason at all, by some drunken lout. If they knew there was a good chance they'd get shot, they wouldnt try it!
