This is probably the biggest nanny state on the planet, your Government doesn't trust you at all.

So what? I don't really trust them either.

My lot? Seriously? move. Just leave.

No, I don't want one.

Ignorance of what? It boils down to what you think is 'good reason' to own a Handgun or Semi Automatic. I can't think of one.

Pot, kettle? Seriously, you're a hypocrite. We're a herd are we/ simply because we disagree, you know nothing about me, you're making assumptions.

1) a certain politically correct layer of society pushed for it, fed by ignorance.
2) Tories couldn't go for an unpopular choice in front of the horror, besides an unarmed country is easier to control.
3) people don't understand their rights and the importance of defending them.

What about the right to live in a country with tough gun laws?
Gun owners right more important than non gun owners are they?

Now you're just talking rubbish, find me one single quote from anyone in a position of power in the UK that says binge drinking is safe. I know for a fact that guns are dangerous. So what you've just said is the exact opposite of what is clearly the truth, you'll say anything to justify your position.
What pretentious moral values are you talking about?

Instead of complaining and pointing the obvious (i.e. why is the new CEO earning two and a half times the salary of this country's Prime Minister?!), they just comply and waste time walking back and forth to the kitchen area to use the bins there..
A few months back they proposed to close the bars in our offices, again "to cut costs", and in front of the menace of no booze over lunch break there have been petitions, discussions and what not..
(drunken) sheep, nothing more, nothing less.

Yet another irrelevant, meandering paragraph.
Fact - Semi Automatics were banned in this country because a gun owner, a gun club member, walked through a rural town and shot people. Handguns were banned because a gun owner went into a school and killed children.
Your only relevant point seems to be that a having a hobby is a good enough reason to own a lethal weapon. I don't think it is. Ok?
