I understand your second amendment right. I understand your right to bare arms. In the UK people can have rifles and shotguns but they have to give a valid reason. I know one person who owns a rifle of their own and that is because she is a target rifle firer, her home never has ammunition it is taken straight to the range and stored. Farmers can have shotguns to defend their land from thieves.
In Northern Ireland you can have a weapon for self defence but only under Strict Laws. It seems like America hands out weapons licenses like they’re candy! Northern Ireland actually has an active level of terrorism in the country, the police are the only police force that are armed as normal. America do you have a terrorist group that are citizens of your country that attack you? No. As you have terrorist that come from other countries or you have people who just get their hands on an assault rifle and go on a trigger happy shooting spree in some school.
In England we have had one school shooting, just one in 1996 and that saw hand guns be completely outlawed except for military and armed police forces. Since then we have had one other shooting in 2010, no more. My friend who owns a rifle she has it locked in a safe, a safe that only her and her dad can open.For her to transport them they have to be covered in a gun bag that can be locked or a gun case that can also be locked and it has to be in the boot of the car. But in America you have them just lying round, no wonder people can have easy access to them! Christ people drive around with them in their glove compartment! I saw a video of a news report on road rage, it said one fight was ended as a wife of a man involved just pulled a handgun out and pointed it.
The only argument you guys have is “I like my guns” or “I need it for self defence.” But as an Australian comedian said “I have never heard of a defence rifle, but I have heard of an assault rifle.” Christ Australia had ONE Shooting spree in Port Arthur in 1996 and guess what? They banned everything, over 300,000 rifles were handed over.
Just in the month of June so far you have had TWENTY SHOOTINGS. Yet you do nothing about it as you want to keep your amendments. The world has changed since Britain Colonised you and you got your independence. Like I am more likely to be involved in a shooting when I visit America than be involved in a terrorist attack! Tell me if I am out of line but isn’t terrorism meant to be a bigger problem for America than their own people? Yet it seems like America are focusing on stuff away from their homes than stuff in their own country!
You can still have guns, but I don’t think anyone needs a mini gun/assault rifle or automatic shotgun/pistol for self defence nor do you need a 50cal. Machine gun on the back of your truck. You know what that reminds me of? The images of terrorists in multiple countries driving with a 50cal on the back of their trucks?
Think. You live by the sword (Gun) you die by the sword.
Think when you look at your family today, ‘Do I really need this gun?’ get rid of it unless you have genuine need for one. Only logical reason I can see someone owning a gun not for sports or hunting is: My Life is in Imminent danger. But then you have a police force trained with guns, think I would rather trust them than call them and be seen with a gun incase I got shot.
Think. We don’t need these guns in our lives, I am British and I do shooting through a legal organisation and I would never want to have a rifle where I live. You don’t shit where you eat, why should you kill where you eat?
