Like I have stated over and over again, violence breeds violence and your own quotes have confirmed how the constitution has been perverted from from protection of Govt taking rights away to all people carry guns. Personally I would die protecting my country and protecting a persons rights however I do not and never will condone the carrying of guns they are useless in irresponsiable hands.
The media only reports the facts, yes some crimes are prevented by guns, but how many result in death or serious injury.
Yes there is a rise in crime in England, but the common copper still does not carry guns and it is far easier to pull a trigger then lunge with a knife. I'm sorry but I do feel sorry that people feel the need to use violence, at times such incidents are unavoidable but the gun is to easy to use. I wasn't going to comment any more as I feel that I have caused to much emotion within the group,it is just that I fear the world is heading further down the line of rule by fear and not by consensus and it hurts.
