Baz, not to open up old wounds, but...hey,
u have some good points. as u said it is a cultural thing that we are brought up here thinking that guns are really bad, and is why i have trouble understanding the laws. as everything there are two sides to every story and so it is good to hear some of your valid points.
would you say that gun laws for protection is reactive to that fact that criminals have guns tho? or it is for the protection of oneself in general?
also, if given the choice would u like there to be no guns at all - so no criminals OR civilians could have it?
cheers
