Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[God of Mr. Hanky]

I reject the notion that gun control worked well in Britiain. The murder rate didn't hi down after the various gun control measures there. So by what standard did it work well? Britain has a lower murder rate then the US, but then it has a similarly lower murder rate before it had gun control as well. Britain has always had a lower murder rate then the US, regardless of it's gun control laws. I haven't seen any evidence that Britain's gun laws lowered the murder rate there. If it isn't causing less murders, what's the point?

Well that would be because you do not know about the history of gun crime gun crime in the UK. We have had no mass shootings since semi automatic rifles were banned after the Hungerford massacre. The ban has worked extremely well In my view and has prevented mass murders. Do you think the people who beheaded Lee Rigby would have killed just the one person if they had had access to the array of weaponry that any idiot can purchase in America, no they would have tried to carry out paris style attacks.

Why do you think anyone who would kill by beheading does so in such a symbolically gruesome way on account of not having access to guns? Do you think that's the case in ISIS beheadings?

Having a gun does not mean having the motive to kill any more than you have, when you go on any sort of a killing spree.
