I'm from Britain and I just find it baffling that guns are allowed (not incl hunting weapons) in America.

We had a massacre in Scotland (some twat with a licensed handgun killed a load of kids and teachers). So what do they do? Ban them. Whats happened since? No more massacres.

We still have gun problems - especially in London, but this is mainly amonst the criminals themselves. And it is serious news when someone is shot here.

The defence about needing a gun for protection is just bs. Defend against what? Guns???!!!???

I don't need a gun, because no-one else has one. I know if I get burgled or get involved in a fight or whatever I'm not gonna get shot. I have a cricket-bat for protection at home and thats it.

And unlike alot of Americans I don't live in constant fear. And I live in one of the biggest cities in the world.
