You don't need to not have guns to stay civil. Or do you? Symptomatic of the real problem, I think.
"Getting by without", that's typical... I'll say european, but it's too broad a brush, though it's the right color.

Maybe not broad enough - add to the mix Asia, Australia - broad, multi-coloured brush

I'd argue, but forget it... you're happy that way, ok.
Just don't expect everyone to accept that as the best way to live.

You're thinking "doing your best with what you've got", I meant "giving up 'certain rights' to conform to some unnecessary norm".

what don't you agree with?

That I should have to give up my right to execute my will without breaching into others' liberties because of some bad apples.
A certain abuse doesn't justify prohibition of general use.

Interesting personality...you act as though your post is a troll, then you actually argue a point.

bloody brits, killing helpless birds and calling it a "sport", it's no wonder your govt wont let you play with guns.

LOL Curval! I'm sure the birds died happy, knowing that Mr. Toad had worn a tie for the occasion.

By the way, Moot - thousands of South Africans are giving up their gun rights voluntarily, and relocating to Britain. They're coming here in droves. But that's OK, they're hard working and, given the choice, most would vote Conservative.
