An 11 year old owned a gun that didn't need to be registered! Staggering, even worse the guns are made specially for kids!

The "Right To Bear Arms" has always made us laugh.What an archaic load of B/S.
Sure you needed guns in 18th and 19th century America,if you didn't want to be killed by Indians or outlaws.The same could be said for Britain and highway-men,footpads and various scoundrels.
However,times move on,the Indians and Billy the Kid have long gone,as has our Dick Turpin but we evolved.Sadly the Yanks have always seemed to live in a state of gung - ho paranoia.
You'd think after all these school shootings etc, something would have clicked by now.
Unfortunately the youth of this country have,in modern times,followed U.S trends,mores the pity.

Quite right Heidi, there is no crime in Britain, and I for one am quite happy not to have the means to defend myself from any of our non-existent criminals. These dumbass Americans are such gung-ho fucktards aren't they?

Reggie, are you old enough to remember the year 1968? Until then anyone could buy a shotgun without restriction. All you needed was a 10/- gun licence from the post office. Strangely, there were almost no shooting incidents, certainly not as compared today, when most guns have been "banned", which means only criminals have them. Try and arm yourself with a few facts next time.

With the British mentality of drink , drink , drink and then drink some more until we all start fighting, what would happen if we had guns in your coats?

Its bad enough at the moment with knives, make guns freely available and all hell will break loose

But the point here isn't as simple as guns being available, we know that guns are available in America.

What shocks me is that they make them for kids? Wonder if Robches thinks we should adopt that policy aswell. This was a shotgun specially made for ages 8-11. Like Tonka toys used to be!

Guns are freely available mate, any crim can get one. The law disarms the law abiding, do try and get your head round it.

So they make small guns for kids? So what? I have no problem with youngsters being taught how to shoot safely with the appropriate guns. This is a red herring.
