Asking for more sorrow

As an Englishman I am not accustomed to the "right to carry guns", though "carrying guns" is slowly growing in the UK. But to defend the right to carry arms is only promoting the right to murder isn't it?
Its is getting like the chicken and the egg, where someone has to accept responsibility for the acts of their fellow countrymen, men who kill for no reason.
It remind me of the song by the "Boomtown Rats" … "I don't like Mondays" was given as the only reason for a killings many years ago.

It seems there are strong arguments for and against, but I am happy to be in the UK where I feel safer.

I dont agree. The people who buy guns legally are not the ones committing crimes for the most part. its the ones who buy the illegally that are the problem

@Blondgrl2004 So anyone who buys a gun is honest?

Blondgrl2004 · 26-30, F

@Uncfred @Uncfred didnt say that. but if you take all the guns from the honest people then all the crooks will have them anyway, is that fair to you

@Blondgrl2004 That is not entirely true there are many cases where the gunman bought the weapons legally, had collected them for years.

@Blondgrl2004 Carrying a gun with the intent to use it in a peaceful community is not fair either. I am sure that to carry a gun means you are willing to use it

Blondgrl2004 · 26-30, F

so your saying all crooks buy them legally

Blondgrl2004 · 26-30, F

@Uncfred so if someone comes at you with a gun and you saw him coming, you would rather have no protection at all

Uncfred · 61-69, M

@Blondgrl2004 It seems the simplest way for them to get them, and there is nothing stopping them.

Uncfred · 61-69, M

@Blondgrl2004 If someone is going to shoot me like that I have no defence anyway.

Blondgrl2004 · 26-30, F

look at it ths way, if someone had equal force and someone comes in to do mass murder, I would hope a good guy or person would see it before it happens and take them out first.

@Blondgrl2004 We can live in hope!?
