I don't believe anyone here has suggested a total ban on guns, even the UK-ers. What most on this side of the pond would call for is for gun ownership to be restricted to those who can demonstrate a true need to own a gun - farmers, hunters, target-shooting club members etc., and no automatic, semi-automatic or military-type weapons to be owned by anyone at all. The drivel being touted by some about standing up to a government they distrust should absolutely not be a qualifying 'need or reason', it's just big-mouth bluster, and complete, utter shite.
