Fair-D

Nothing in the article you linked contradicts anything I said 

Yes, there are background checks, but you also need those in the US to buy a gun.

Its not very much harder to get one, the difference is cultural not legal.

The main argument being made in this thread is that crime rates in the UK are lower because of ‘gun control’.…[Read more]

And yes, I know class 2 licences only cover shotguns, but it takes about 5 seconds to modify a breach loading shotgun into a rifle.

Doing that is probably illegal, but so is shooting people.
So I dont think that’s the problem.

Therefore, to claim that gun violence in the UK is lower because of ‘gun control’ is nonsense.

Anyone who wants a gun can fairly easily obtain one, not sure where the ‘control’ is.

Even ignoring the bill of rights, class 2 firearm licences are shall issue, which means they cannot legally be refused and must be given to anyone who asks for one.

Gun ownership is legal in the UK.

Not only is it legal, it is a right.

You can get AR-15’s in the UK.

Are you saying that a sane person could murder a classroom of very small children, Andy?  Thank god you can’t get your hands on a gun as you are crazier than a shithouse rat.  Or bone stupid.  Maybe both.
