In reality gun violence in the UK wasn't high before Dunblaine either. You have a much lower rate level than us, ect.Gun related deaths per 100,000 in the UK - 0.22 (2009)
Gun related deaths per 100,000 in the US - 2.98 (2009)
Our gun crime rates are nothing like America's either.
Answer me this. Just why do all civilians need access to assault rifles?
Assault Rifle...now we talking about here is...a semi auto rifle that cosmeticly looks like a military selective fire rifle that operates on a completly different system, not a machine gun. Kinda like banning a guys car here in town because he has a Dale Earnhardt Jr decal kit on it that makes it look like a NASCAR car, but isn't. The 5.56/.223 round is a light rifle round, not nearly as powerfull as most hunting rounds, & the AK-47 is about like a 30/30 Winchester, so...ban them & they use more powerfull rounds with less chance of survival. Flash suppressor, not really usefull, bayonet lug is only usefull if out of ammo, most remember to bring ammo with them. seperate handhold, increases accuracy, if you can ban handholds for that.. does that mean optical sights next & doesn't the antis claim the reason to ban "Saturday Night Specials" is they aren't asccurate? Can't have it both ways. Folding or collapseable stocks probably aren't a factor in school shootings. There might be an argument for banning high cap mags, but there's been high cap mags since the Broomhandle, P-35, Winchesters & Henrys with up to 16 rounds, ect.
Think we need to look at those psycotropic drugs a bit more closely.
