"the Gun Industry pays for these groups" Perhaps you could tell me where I should apply for this money? Britain (where i lived for 30 something years) banned civillian ownership of handguns and semi auto rifles larger than .22rf, result? armed crime has doubled since 1997. Of course the Brits can all now feel safer as all handguns are now safely in criminal's hands, and the honest folk are dis armed. In the mid 90's britain enjoyed 2X the burglary rate of the US and 40% of British Burglaries were hot compared to 7% hot in the US, since that time …

oh, just seen Aunty Rightwing's comments, Perhaps you could explain to the Branch Davidians and their children (those who survived that is) and Randy Weaver (who's wife and child didn't survive)that the Govt isn't going to kick your door down.

Stats from around the world (see Kates & Mauser in the Harvard journal of law & public policy for a good review and source references) seem to show that murder rates of 3X the worst that America had can occur in societies with police state type …

Hi Aunty rightwing, "Confiscations in Britain, different country Different laws" don't try to spread complacency mate, yes it can happen elsewhere too, all it takes is for the good "people of the gun" tribe to do nothing.

If there was a criminal among them, does that justify killing them all? was it …
