The only argument against saying we’d all be safer without guns, is it then comes down to one of physicality

My daughter or old mum, who both live on their own, wouldn’t necessarily be safer


They would likely be slower with a gun too if both parties were armed in a situation but likelihood of death increases with a gun

Jake I don`t think anyone in America, or at least anyone sensible, misses that point. However no-one suddenly not having a gun isn`t going to happen. If I was living in America I think I`d probably want to have a gun, at least at home, as well.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Trump, the self-styled world peace-maker, can`t even keep the peace in his own country.

Doubt my daughter would be… not physical enough to fight of an intruder though so it would be a good leveller

Anyway if they were legal here I’d have one. I’d rather give myself a fighting chance should the worst happen

[n this country people don`t expect to be confronted by a gunman in their own home, so few guns are bought for purposes of self-defence. In the US many do have that fear so they buy a gun to defend themselves. I`m not sure making it more difficult to buy a gun would change that attitude now.

I have a gun in my home - I am a member at a shooting range - but I have been informed quite specifically that it must not be used in self-defence.

The attitude of the police is…
If I hear an intruder breaking into my house, and then I have time to
1. open my (mandatory) gun safe,
2. open my (mandatory, separate) ammo safe,
3. then load the (mandatorily unloaded) magasine,
4. then put the mag back in the gun…

Clearly I would have had enough time to run out the back door and call the police.

They would then consider firing the gun to be a premeditated action, rather than self defence whilst in fear of my life.

Gun crime and armed robbery is very rare here, police are always armed and have tasers.
However, a significant portion of Luxo’s have guns, for target shooting or for hunting (lots of deer and boar in the forests).

Lux, "Clearly I would have had enough time to run out the back door and call the police."

what if you`re upstairs and can hear people downstairs and that’s your only exit… surely it would be reasonable (assuming the gun cabinet is upstairs) to prepare it should they come upstairs?

Windsor Castle is a step up from `The Buckingham Palace` apparently!

Could they not have just got a McDonald`s from Just Eat?

The photos of the "State banquet " just give me the boke!

When you contrast yesterday`s pictures from Windsor with what`s happening in Gaza it`s quite sickening.

But they`re all "standing together against tyranny" don`t you know.
Vile pigs.

Yes I believe that was the point SNP MP Chris Law was making when he criticised John Swinney for attending the the lavish banquet at Windsor Castle last night.

When you`re dealing with a duplicitous character like Trump it`s difficult to avoid accusations of hypocrisy.
