well, obviously. but banning them won't make any difference, it's a pretty lawless country in places, allot worse than the uk. plus look at the size of the place... there's plenty of nutty militia types who'd form small army's in the woods to protect their right to bear arms. if i lived in the sates i'd defo have a gun at home, in the same way i have a double lock on my front door in the uk.

I'm glad guns are illegal in the uk.

not all guns are illegal, several of my friends have shotguns and all the required permits. hell, one of my mates is a gunsmith!

half of my street probably own shotguns/rifles for hunting and general recreational puroses, nothing too unusual considering i'm pretty much living in the sticks at the moment.

I think that's one of the more overlooked aspects of gun culture in the United States. A fair portion of people are recreational hunters, much like there are in other parts of the world. The only problem is for every person who might own a shotgun for bird hunting, there is someone who believes that a crime will be committed because of it. I would be inclined to say that the media plays a hand in it, but that would be an over generalization.

Going out and blasting off a few rounds is amazingly therapeutic.

Yeah, target shooting I get. Huting with a magnum or m4a1, I don't buy that.
"Self defence" is so American, haha. Were I live I don't need to defend myself :)

Self defense isn't American, it's human nature.
We've just taken it to another level.
