Why do you conclude that? You've jumped the shark by stating there's a connection between my happiness in life and gun ownership laws. I simply state you need to protect yourself as nobody else will. That's not an emotional state - it's reality.
Got a tip for us?

conditioned that guns = badness at all times by your media. Yes friendly fire, you lot have proven that so many times.
I can't believe you'd prefer a world with guns, then a less violent one without them. Tell me if you still believe that when you or anyone close get's affected by a gun. Which going by the type of person you're portraying to be, probable means you'd "accidently" shot one of them.
Don't insult the UK and its laws when the USA gun laws are so messed up your country hold riots over them. I don't like to rage on forums, but you sir are a fool!

He hasn't jumped the gun, you've forgotten what you've said!
No, it's not reality, it's your view of what you believe to be reality--and its objectively false; it also doesn't account for different places having different ways that may actually work better than yours. You also state the need to kill people who cause "havoc".
I certainly don't understand the point you're trying to make, and I'm fairly certain you don't either.
You don't need backup....... Americans may claim to be free with their guns, and their amendments etc....
But really they feel they need guns because they live in a violent, self centred culture. The UK culture is not violent enough to warrant all police being armed, our children aren't massacred in schools on a weekly basis. We have nothing to apologise for or mount a defence on the internet about.
Let them have their guns and their perceived notion of free speech and privacy. Freedom in America is a fallacy.
The UK must be the USA's Big Brother beta program. Sheesh. (That said, the USA seems to be quickly trying to reverse that!)
LOL at you stop comparing britain to america you lot are just the worst
.Lol 350 million guns, 11 Super Aircraft Carriers, 3000 Attack Jets, 3000 Nukes and your still scared little children.
Thanks for worrying for me But I am NOT afraid sir.
Amazing, I thought one of the main pro-gun arguments was if the government turned bad and were the bad guys, now your saying it's a bad idea that our police force are unarmed and unable to protect us? For the record we do have armed police offices, they are called the armed response and they are only dispatched to specific incidents where people do have firearms (very rare) and they are specially trained in using them. Very rare but you may see them in areas of increased security risks, like airports.
Also if the bad guys (government) wanted to attack us then they have far more powerful and effective weapons than guns, see Syria in the Middle East where the government are still killing their own citizens even if they do have guns to defend themselves, on top of that they also have the terrorists killing them as well. These people are running for their lives yet the leading candidate (Trump) to become your president is vilifying them.
Forget 'purpose', the law is not even fit to use as papers to wipe the behind. You never know if it ends up snooping on the contents and gives it back to the government. Glad there will be protests against it.
