And banning guns in this country has had what effect?

It annoyed the hell out of those who get alot of the GB gold medals at the olympics.

It enabled the government spin machine to say they were being tough on crime and they were taking action.

If you take the levels of crime involving firearms among FAC holder you'll find that it will be one or two a year.

Like it or not the gun laws were bought in as a reaction to

• Hungerford
• Dunblane

Both massacres were commited by licenced gun owners

It's a lot of fun.

They turn the targets upside down when you've got an automatic weapon so when you lose control of it, you don't shoot the roof (BAD).

Probably not

Most definitely
