I may be lucky in that I live a LONG way from a lot of the UK and city life, but I don't know of anyone who has had an encounter like you describe
And, there really isn't the hunting aspect here either, at most you'd be talking about rabbits, though usually it would more about pest control than food

In short what I originally said was...
I may be misinterpreting what you've said but you seem to put across that only bystanders are innocent, rather than the person being aimed at. I generally believe /anyone/ being shot is innocent, no one should be shot. The only time it is maybe acceptable is if they've shot at the police, maybe, but I'm not sure about my views on this. I tend to believe killing someone is bad, irrelevant of what they have done.
I think your knives argument is pretty pointless. It's impossible to compare knife crime to gun crime. Saying people will always want to kill people is fine, but guns make it far too easy.
I would 100% prefer someone to try and kill me with a knife rather than a gun. The act of stabbing someone is so much more involved, it takes a totally different mindset to get up close to someone and stab them. There are less people capable of those actions than there are people who would be able to pull the trigger.

Quite alright, it's an emotive issue.
I would be interested as to what you meant by:

It's virtually pointless having a transatlantic discussion on gun law. We don't want US gun law, the US doesn't want ours; but it's Ok, because we each have our own, not each other's. If anybody is unhappy with their own country's gun law, they have every right to debate and to lobby their government to change their country's laws. But they have fuck all right to lobby other country's governments in order to change laws that don't apply to them.

So if someone breaks into my house and may have a weapon or evil intentions, you feel I am not allowed to shoot him/her?
