Yes many people would be unsuitable for gun ownership - trouble is many of them have them already. JT. Agree, but I trust neither films nor news, my views have come from normal people both for and against gun in the USA - however, I sit on the fence, not because it's easy but I can see it from many points of view - I guess in my case I should err on the side of caution until my views land on one side or the other - so arming the UK wouldn't be straight forward and could easily be a step in the wrong direction. In an ideal world I'd like to see it but where they where only used in life or death situations - I know that is probably living in fairy land! Sid. At this time I must say I tend to agree with you. Many of our youth (I'm 44) seem to me to be far more agressive and turn to violence than when I was in my 20's - Females too. Responsible is the key word here and if it was ever to work we need to make ourselves as a nation, more responsible - alas we're in a nany state and becoming dependant on the state is (in my view) exactly where they want us. Thanks for the input guys, realy appreciate it - sorry for any typos. Howard, can see your point but I doubt it's so simple.

England is one of the most violent countries in the developed world. I shudder to think what the drink fuelled, city centre yob violence on Fri and Sat nights would become if everyone was carrying a gun. Geordie streets would be blood soaked before sunrise. I'm not anti-gun, but this idea only works in a responsible society, which sadly the UK is not. Hell No! England is one of the most violent countries in the developed world.

The Idea of using a weapon to harm others was not in my mind as a shooter, but the enjoyment of hitting the bullseye and winning trophy's. If you had the mind set to use a pistol or rifle to harm someone the you would and should not be trusted to own a gun.
