Was this senior policeman
the one who belonged to the same Lodge as Hamilton? It's all a "Speculative Society" cover-up.

Hey, but at least Bliar got to ban handguns and since then no-one has been shot with one in the UK. (Apart from all the people who have been, erm, shot with handguns, of course)

Indeed
It was extremely disappointing that the criminals didn't take the opportunity to hand theirs in too.

"If you outlaw guns...
The only people with guns will be outlaws."

Pretty simple logic to me.

Look at the amount of people killed by cars and tobacco, but its fine to tax and regulate them.

You can create a crime-free society by regulating all of the following:
Weapons
Drugs
Sex
Rock & Roll (or just the media in general.)

But where would the fun be in that?

Incidentally, I'm not pro-gun. But I would like the right to carry a sword, it just looks classy.

It's rather too simple, that's the problem.
Still, the law in this country before Dunblane seemed perfectly strict enough, and the laws that were brought in afterwards didn't seem to have any relevance to the case at all.

Personally I'd like a longbow.

I'm reading all these weapons as euphemisms for sexual organs.
Just saying like.

I'd love the right to carry my sword.
Though admitedly I'd like a couple of guns too.

You can, quite legally
Carry an ice axe down the street. Admittedly you have to be able to justify why, but still...

I actually got away with strapping mine to the outside of my rucsack, which then went on a plane
and no one seemed that bothered about it.

Innocent days.

at least we go rid of that scourge of British society, the Olympic shooting medallist though.

Yeah, right on
The last thing we need is legitimate sportsmen demonstrating responsible gun-ownership to the youth of this country.

Nah, outlaw guns, kids won't be at all attracted to them after seeing them in every other film, rap video and X-box game, think they are cool and assume they know how to handle them properly. No, not at all.
