In Britain we had the Dunblane massacre where a gun nut went mad and shot schoolchildren: British people vowed never again. In Britain you can't even own a sporting pistol. Farmers can own shotguns, thats about it.
Britain hasn't had any schoolkids shot since 1996. i think if it is a choice between dead schoolkids or a bit of paper, I side with the children.
The point I was making on the video is those people no more represent mainstream Britain than the KKK represent New York.
The figures are you are 3 times more likely to get murdered in America than Britian. (per capita). That is without the "accidents" that kill 500 children alone each year. The fact is gun ownership makes people less safe not more

Reason: extra research
OK. Thanks to all who participated. Any more and this would have to be moved over to the Politics forum. I think for the sake of keeping it Idaho-specific, we'll end this thread now.
If there are developments regarding gun laws that happen at the state level, we will open a new thread regarding that Idaho-specific issue.
