Why should we be re-writing our gun laws just to satisfy a team of British pistol-

It was a knee jerk reaction to the Dunblane tragedy. The guns are not the problem the people using them are, anyone that has them legally don't go around killing people, on the other hand people that hold them illegal may well do so. Guess which group still has handguns. And, I totally agree with Noami about our national team having to train abroad, nuts!
Naomi...Leaving aside the minute amount of people in our Olympics Team who are inconvenienced, do you think we are safer now, or before the ban came in ?
Also, do you think we should go down the same road as our American cousins, where millions of handguns are lying around in kitchen drawers ?
Lastly, do you think that the general public in Britain will think better of Farage after his pronouncement ?

You may be right naomi...Some people may think bringing back handguns into general ownership is a good idea. But I can't see that there will be many people thinking that way. But whatever we think about it, Farage can hardly of done himself and his Party any favours by this pronouncement.
Rocky. If you hadn't forgotten Hamilton and Ryan, why did you post
" anyone that has them legally don't go around killing people " ?

Just another piece of anti-UKIP rubbish meted out by those who are getting rather worried about the rise in UKIP's popularity.
/// It's really interesting that since Blair brought that piece of law in, gun crime doubled in the next five years in this country." ///
This is how extremely concerned Labour is over this.
/// Ian Mearns, Labour MP for Gateshead, said the comments were an example of "how extremely dangerous Ukip are". ///
/// "Families facing a cost-of-living crisis will find it bizarre that one of Nigel Farage's priorities would be to relax Britain's tough gun controls," he added. ///
Where does it say that UKIP puts the relaxation of the present gun laws before those concerns the public have on the cost of living?
Interesting that although I have searched, I can find no evidence on how Farage was steered down the path on Gun Laws.

There is a misunderstanding about what our gun laws are for
They are not really designed to stop criminals getting guns they always will - it may make it harder but that's not really the point.
Look at all the drunken domestics - violence at pubs - now think about it with handguns being as available as they are in the US
The restrictions first came in after Hungerford and ended with Dunblaine - hardly a knee jerk reaction.
You can argue the point about single shot competition weapons but apart from that a hand gun has one use only - to kill another human
If you own one the conclusion must be that you're preparing to be ready to do so - and that's not acceptable

Do you want to have a handgun, rocky? Who does? At present, anyone criminal and adult who has one gets a minimum 5 years' jail, just for that. Is that a bad thing? Mr Farage thinks that anyone 'responsible' who will keep the weapon in a cabinet should be entitled to a handgun, as of right. That's very trusting of him. A handgun has no practical use for the ordinary citizen, unlike a shotgun or rifle, both of which can be used in hunting and vermin control. Relaxing the law as proposed would increase the number of handguns available generally and in a domestic situation, neither of which is to be encouraged.
