Isn't it already the case that shotguns and non-automatic rifles are legal with sensible regulation for sports and pest control?

 

I do not believe "personal protection" to be a valid reason for ownership nor do I believe guns should be allowed to be kept in central city postcodes and should instead be kept secure by the clubs at which they'll be used. I think for rural postcodes however it is fine to possess shotguns and rifles if they're in a proper gun safe and you have appropriate licences and background checks etc.

 

The reason America has such a disastrous problem with gun control is because over there they are considered a 'right' and thus any attempt at mandatory licensing or background checks is seen as an attempt to make them a 'privilege' and is therefore an infringement on their rights.

 

Just my thoughts, would be interested to hear others.

I,m not overly familiar with the legislation required to own a gun in the uk, but I can't see any good coming froming anyone wanting to own a gun that isn't directly involved in game hunting/shooting/stalking etc.

Given the apparent regularity of 'shootouts' in schools/public places in the US, I personally think ownership of a gun should not be easy and certainly not a given right. censorship definiatly required.
