Of course it is. But we are looking at this from a UK perspective. I’ve said it’s never an ideal situation, it’s crazy but in a ‘gun’ ridden country, where guns are not going anywhere, what’s the next best solution?
Is allowing a deranged kid being able to walk in to a school in the US, unchallenged and having no resistance with a powerful gun for minutes until swat teams arrive?
Would I have my son, in a defenceless situation with folk running for cover and not having anyone on site to take the shooter down?
Absolutely not. This is a real consideration I have to weigh up, if I do decide to live in States in next few years and my son comes with me.
I’d prefer there to be no guns at all, like here.
It’s too late to ban guns in US, with 330,000,000 of them in circulation. How does one huge country manage to ensure every gun is removed from everyone?
I’ve asked this many times and no one seems able to say how it can be realistically achieved and forcing every gun owner to willingly part with their guns? How?
