As for your hated and intolerance of guns, I've heard already. You have already stated that only the most important elites in the UK and the military are the only ones deserving of having firearms to protect themselves with. Do the police need firearms, or just better body armour and insurance plans? I doubt you have the vision and reasoning abilities to solve the crime problem in the UK (the worst in the EU), but what punishment do YOU think is deserved for each crime conviction below? 1) Felon who uses a gun to kill someone during the commison of a crime. 2) Felon part of an armed home invasion or carjacking. 3) Preditory rapist. Also, what measures can commoners legally take, in YOUR opinion, to protect themselves from attacks by thugs much larger than themselves?
