There are twice as many knife related assaults in the UK as gun related in America (per capita or ratio by population). UK has a very strict gun law. There is violence everywhere in the world.

Interesting point: There are far more death by doctors than by guns.

Liberals insist that deporting a few million illegal aliens is impossible so they wish to legalize them. Liberals believe that they can control a billion legally owned guns in America.

If a conservative doesn't believe in guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't believe in guns, he wants to ban them.

If we don't enforce laws and punish the violators, then we have no deterrent to gun violence. Instead of making guns harder for the honest, good citizen to own why not punish anyone that uses a gun in the commission of a crime. Novel idea, huh? Stop putting the animals back on the street that abuse the law, especially when they commit a crime using a weapon.

There is no way that you are going to keep the mentally unstable person from committing a crime of violence until it happens. In America, you are innocent and not charged until you commit an unlawful act. Trying to put someone away before they do wrong is unconstitutional. Besides, who is going to make the decision that someone is acting dangerously or INTENDS to act dangerously? Sorry but we don't have the gov. run Minority Report working yet.

There are over a billion guns owned in this country. Instead of the gov trying to control the good citizens that own them, why not punish the ones that abuse the right? There are a lot less of those(latter) than the former.
