The Dunblane and Hungerford mass murders were both carried out by men who had legally owned guns... I've never heard any compelling argument to give anyone a licence to kill by allowing them to own guns, this bloke was a taxi driver.. why was he allowed to own a shootgun and rifle?

a total ban on firearms would not prevent these tragedys, a nutter is a nutter simple as. same as normal the call goes up to punish everyone, farmers need guns fer various things, most gun owners use em fer sport or are members of clubs fer enjoyment, i myself have never owned a firearm, probably cos the police refused me a licence, ya have more chance of reducing these things, if the existing laws were used consistently n properly,some areas seem to do this, seems some don't.
but is that not the same in many areas of life?
