All guns should be banned. All of them. Crush and melt them all.

It's not a dream. It's reality over here. If the UK can do it, so can you.

Liebknecht-- Right, so that's why there is so much knife crime now, eh? If more good citizens were able to defend themselves, they night not be getting attacked & killed by all these thugs. Of course the downside to that would be the thugs would have guns too. No easy answer,, but still.. at least the decent people would have a chance to defend themselves!

kazoo-- OK, so if they were all banned & melted, then how would the good people defend themselves & their families from the thugs who still were able to get guns? (or were using any other weapon)...?

I see this same argument over & over again & the anti-gun folks never seem to have an answer for this.

Guns are not dangerous but people certainly are. Should we ban people?

Sure it can, but when every single other armed person does then I will be last. The next day I will build another one.

IS THIS the TUCSON shooting? Is that what this is all over? In the last 48 hours or so there have been other shootings.
