"I feel that no one outside of the military or police agencies should be allowed to carry or even own arms. I imagine there are some people that there could be exceptions to. One would be retired professional soldiers. No one would ever be able to doubt their knowledge of gun safety and their mental where-with-all around guns."

---well thats wrong, there are plenty of military personnel who just get passed quals and arent even allowed a position where they handle fire arms because they are so terrible. I've seen news reports and videos on youtube of military people who have mishandled weapons. Ive got friends in different branches of the service who attest to the fact alot of people are terrible with guns and dont want them watching their back, because they might get shot by their own guy.

Also, i dont know where he got his info from, because the crime rate in Britain has GONE UP. Since gun ban, the homicide rate JUMPED. They dont need guns, they use knives. Guess what, theyre now banning the sale of KITCHEN KNIVES to anyone except for commercial use. What does that say for gun control.
