Also people would be more spread out. It's hard to kill anyone when you're 5 miles away from them. Unless you own mortars.<br /><br /> Seriously though, it's a hideous thing to take the life of another person, and responding by wanting to maim, torture and kill those responsible is equally reprehensible. Foregoing a debate on the death penalty or capital punishment, you can't just take a life for a life.

So obviously if you want to get hold of one over here it is possible, as has been mentioned many times before.<br /><br /> I just won't ever think legal gun ownership like in the US is ever going to be a good idea. The thought that people like those would have easier access to firearms is frightening to me. More crazy people with better access to guns is never a good state of affairs.<br /><br /> Whilst gun ownership might act as a deterrent I honestly believe it also results in people living in constant fear.<br /><br /> Then you look at the aspect of kids accidentally shooting each other. There's definitely been a number of stories like that in the news lately.
