You make me laugh expat. A once rabid Labour/Socialist now facing the realisation of what you've voted in over the years.

BTW - the handgun ban (which I'm not a big fan of) was brought in as a result of the Dunblane school massacre. How many school massacres have they had in the USA since we had Dunblane?Comment

Im not a fan of gun bans as they never achieve anything that benefits socidety. I am in favor of a properly funded and resourced evaluation process that stops guns falling into the wrong hands.
Ive been a gun owner since 14 and now own (legally-Im non UK based) several guns. All of my kids have learnt to shoot at an early age and I would trust them to handle a gun safely.
Its all about education at the end of the day and making sure users of guns know what they are doing and what their social responsibilities are.

BTW- Ive noticed that the streets around my neighborhood are very clean these days- does that mean the authorities are getting tough on the causes of grime??Comment

Dunno. I quite like the idea of being able to shoot burglars (or my neighbour MR PIKEY SCUM) but the lack of controls in parts of the US is a problem.
Criminals/gangsters will get guns anyway but by and large they only shoot each other. Lack of control gives guns to the nutters, misfits who probably would not know how to get a gun if the law did not make it so easy, who go out and blast a large random section of the populace.bloggoth

The guy who was convicted seems pretty unlucky - was there an appeal?"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
