Peek at the numbers? So there are 4.5 Americans for every Brit.
So there should be 5,500 gun deaths in the UK each year.
In fact there are about 80 (even with our Yardie friends swapping lead in Brixton).
So we save 5,520 lives a year by not having to conform to 18th century notions about the requirements of a well-regulated militia.
And anyone who believes that Americans wholeheartedly embrace the current situation has never seen the NRA in action.
There used to be an old biddy in the West Country who fired her shotgun at gliders because the pilots were looking in her bathroom window. Perhaps on that basis we could move this to a gliding forum?
