I fully respect your opinion but mine is that it's all about perceived threat. We have an almost 0% chance in this country of being faced with a life threatening situation that requires lethal force and because of that, increased gun ownership will result in more innocent dead, accidental or otherwise than saved potential victims. The vast majority of gun deaths in the US do not arise from defending life or death situations and there's no reason to think it wouldn't be the same here.bennyboy351 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 1:58 pmI believe that right-minded citizens SHOULD be able to defend themselves using firearms IF necessary
It's no coincidence that the type of people who feel they need to hoard a huge arsenal are also the type who wear a tin foil hat to protect against alien transmissions. In a country like the states where guns are part of the culture OK, allow one gun maybe two and 20 rounds of ammo "for defence". But if you have more than is necessary you clearly have serious issues with threat perception. Exceptions could obviously be made for 'sport' with a requiremnt to leave guns at the club etc and no doubt other special circumstances. 50 guns and 10,000 rounds isn't about self-defence, it's a cry for help.
