Rethink the 1997 Handgun ban and the 1987 Semi-Automatic rifle ban
Hi, I believe that the gun bans in the UK have been a complete knee jerk reaction to CRIMINALS committing horrific crimes.
How is a target shooter, or a game hunter, or even the average citizen meant to walk the streets without being a target for a crime? A criminal is more likely to invade a house or mug someone if they know they are unarmed, we live in the era of knives, knuckle dusters, guns, and many other types of weapons held by a thug, it is time to give British citizens their rights back.
RETHINK the gun bans, I'm not saying follow the USA by letting any imbecile buy a gun, but we should regulate the guns in the UK not outlaw them.
