You miss the point though, I don't need a gun to feel safe...you seem to though! There's no real threat of gun attacks in the UK...because guns are basically illegal. And as for untrained firearm owners...I've posted the figures before about accidental shootings every year and they are outrageous.

As for posting on a US board...I couldn't care less if you posted on a UK board...if you're offended in anyway because somebody outwith your town has an opinion, tough shit! What's the problem?
