Lazs...another one about guns?
It's simple, your solution about gun problems (which is ANY idiot packing up like dirty Harry) is more guns.
I wish you'd stop bashing the Brits about this, since their bad crime is much lower than yours while their gun ownage is also very much lower. Their murders are lower, their armed robberies are lower, and their rapes are lower, - this goes roughly on a rate 1 to 3 or 1 to 4, in a country that is vastly more densely populated than the USA.
And as for government tyranny, - I'd take Britain as a safe-haven any day....but again, their solutions wouldn't work in the USA?
