Can we have some gun's now please?

I want to bring back the right to bear arms, that was given to us in the Bill of Rights, not that the Bill has ever really been repealed or cancelled out. During the Metric Martyrs fight back, Justice Laws, decreed that the Bill of Rights was sacrosanct and could never be taken away.

With this in mind, does the legislation in place that bans owning hand guns, have any legality?

With the rising amount of serious crime and the proof that criminals have and will use guns at even the slightest provocation, does this not suggest it is about time that we as people started to look to our own defence and protection?

How many friends and neighbours do you personally know, that keep baseball bats or other weapons near the front door, just in case? I know of a couple of people that do and one of them is an ex copper!

As someone who has served in HM Forces, and carried weapons and seen the damage that they can and do inflict. My first instinct was that they should all be banned, but as we have seen and continue to see, the banning of hand guns doesn't work! All it does is make it easier for the criminal to overpower their victims.

Another point to ponder, is the Police Force, as it cannot do the job it was set up to do, ie. protect the citizens and bring to justice criminals, would we be correct in thinking that we are therefore entitled to defend ourselves? Does this not offer more proof that we should be able to arm ourselves?

Without wishing to bring about a vigilante culture, I think its about time we took back our laws, after all they were made for us, hence the term common law. The law doesn't belong to the judges nor the solicitors, they can interpret it, but its our law handed down to us by those who fought and died for all our freedoms. The law doesn't belong to the political classes, they may make suggestions, they may legislate, but as one Parliament cannot be bound by another, so too, laws that are ill conceived can be repealed and changed and declared null and void.

My mother has an idea or two about sex offenders, well more about their punishment and how it should be doled out. She suggests putting the convicted person in a room with about 20 unarmed women who's children have been abused for about 15 Min's. She reckons this would cure most of the offenders chances of re offending when the justice system releases them early. As she says with what is left of the offenders wedding tackle, (if anything) he will be unable to re-offend. Not too sure about what the Human Rights Act would say about it, but it is seriously biblical in its simplicity.

Hello LFB,
I've been reading your blog for a while. I have very mixed feelings about guns but I agree with you a bit.
I'm an ex-pat living in the USA. I've lived here 9 years but I lived in the NW of England for 30. There's a HUGE difference between here and the UK in that here there are virtually NO house break-ins and car thefts here. The reason there are so few house break-ins is because there's a VERY good chance the owner will shoot you.

The flip side of the "right to bear arms" is that some owners do not secure them properly and kids get hold of them, with tragic consequences.

Like all things in life, "with freedom comes responsibility". Unfortunately, you and I would be responsible but I know a ton of people that would be IDIOTS.

Lastly, I agree with your mum. If it comes into law in England let me know and I'll come home and meet your mum at the prison gate, waffle-maker in hand...

No legality whatsoever, in terms of the constitution.

Gun control isn't about guns, it's about control.

We got on just fine before gun control, and gun crime has been rising ever since. Gun control does not stop violent people getting guns, it does not stop violent people using any other type of tool to maim and kill with, it DOES stop the law abiding from protecting themselves and it DOES make criminals secure in the knowledge that they can do as they please.
