Get real, Goofus! Neither Ebbie nor Raparree said anything about banning gun ownership to specific racial or religious groups.

And for the anonymous one who criticized my suggestion that a Brit armed with a shotgun could be more dangerous than an American (or a Brit) armed with a snub-nosed revolver, you might take a good look at how the UK's gun laws are actually working. "Civilization," indeed!!

In 2009, twelve years after the Firearms Act of 1997 was passed, Daily Mail Online reported that Britain was "the most violent country in Europe." They also reported that Britain's home figures showed "the UK had a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and South Africa."

Not quite the rosy picture that some of the Brits inhabiting this website and taking pot-shots at Americans would have you believe!
