Control of small handguns by law affects ONLY the law abiding citizens.... Any criminal intent on killing and maiming other people will ALWAYS be able to access weapons ....that is ALWAYS !!!!
Only the innocent victims suffer when the right to defend yourself is restricted !
Gun ownership doesn't give you any protection; that's just a fanatasy. The chance of bumping into a burglar is tiny. The chance of being able to access a safely stored firearm before bumping into the burglar is minute. If you look at US statistics, the chance of accidently shooting a member of your own family is a lot higher than the chance of facing down a burglar. If you want to reduce the chance of being burgled there are plenty of effective steps you can take, like fitting decent locks, making an alarm system visible, fitting external lights, creating sight lines onto the house's entrances.
If you want a gun, go and get one - they are not illegal. You can get yourself some very nice and effective shotguns and rifles legally in the UK.
Just remember that gun ownership for self-defence against burglars is a myth - US figures show the victim of a burglary is more likely to die if both they and the burglar have a gun then if just the burglar has a gun.
And as for guns vs knives and bottles ect. You have a fighting chance of scarpering from a knife. Out running a bullet or 6, on the other hand, is not likely.
Some criminals will use what ever weapon they can get there hands on, the more legal guns people have the more likely a yank style school killing, and there would be more illegal guns on the streets than there is now. (like a cold war arms race)
to his bitch.

, but not yet had a proper meet up we are still very nervous and the idea of our first meetings being with a hardened swinger/s I think would make us even more nervous.
