About What One Expects From Ignorant Gun Nuts

[dom.donald]

No, I didn't say your views mean nothing. I just think they are naïve. You said that I obviously "don't *like* guns". I think it's pretty clear that guns shouldn't be legalised for use in the way you describe, just because people *like* them. It is still legal in the UK to kill someone in self defence, if a jury judges that to be a reasonable action. You're talking about using a gun to defend yourself when your life isn't in imminent danger. And common sense should tell you that the likelihood of having a loaded gun at the ready *exactly* at the moment when your life is in imminent danger, is so small as to be non-existent. Besides, your life may only be in danger because everyone else is allowed to walk around with a gun too.
