Quote by: kpow  i like it that guns are illegal in the UK....i KNOW criminals have them.
ive seen that for myself, but i dont think that they should be easier for EVERYONE to get their hands on.....not in todays society.
enough of the WRONG people have them now, but at least we can take them away from them if we get information.......as someone who wants a carrer as a police office (or prison officer but thats not relivant here  ) i think its scary that criminals are armed yet MOST police officers do not carry guns, still i just dont think guns are generally a good idea....to dangerous and people are far to unpredictable....!!! |
I would find far, far more scary if all the police carried guns and innocent people didn't. Talk about an inbalance between citizen and state. In what way would we rule our government when they have all the power, and we have nothing?
We can't take away guns from criminals as a whole, very few firearms are confiscated in fact. Even those that are taken are very easily replaced. Criminals support the gun ban too, because then it is only them that may regularly carry them. If criminals thought that maybe 50% of women were carrying a gun, how many muggings do you think would take place? How many rapes? Criminals prey upon the weak, a gun makes the weakest person equal to the strongest.
