remember a license is govt authorization to do something that would OTHERWISE be illegal...you dont need a license to exercise a constitutional right....

but im sure one of you control freaks is going to tell me im wrong and that in order to protect the group we must infringe on the rights of the individual....


"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"...and im not talking about where the devil lives...the road to a living hell is how it should read.....

well I am not American and I believe that guns are a responsibility before being a right. Driving is a right too, but if you're not fit for it, then you can't drive. Same should apply for gun linceses, or better, it already happens, it only needs a more pro-active and effective regulation. Gun lobbies won't accept that in the US waving their constitutional rights, and that's ok with me, it's their problem, but I believe that the UK should really give up on all this politically correct bullcrap and get real.

Again, my point is that here people really think that owning a gun equates to being a timebomb, but even before the gun bans the accidents involving guns were extremely rare, people just bought into the Government fear campaign and found a scapegoat to social problem that they don't want (or simply can't) address with efficacy. The scare tactic, playing strong on the gun massacres that happened, did most of the work, so much that people didn't wanna know about guns anymore, it became a social no-no like eating veal...

And there is so much deliberate misinformation on the subject anyway: you can still get yourself a shotgun, a rimfire semiauto (they sell Car15 in .22, EXTREMELY portable and lethal) or bolt action rifle: an Enfield Jungle Carabine can hold 10 rounds of .303 and is very portable, how is that less lethal than a Garand or a pistol I still have to understand.. Don't you really see the hypocrisy of the legislation?
