As you know matey, ( and so does the gun lobby in the states) any type of control is a thin end of a wedge.....as far as I am concerned, someone can own a bazooka as long as they are sensible with it and don't go off killing people.
If you want something, you should be FREE to have it as long as you don't intend harm to others with it!!
Based on the anti gun logic, they should take everyone's driving license away as I reckon cars kill more kids every day that guns do in a year or even 10 years.
Wilf your not a fool mate , so to compare somebody being careless/wreck less/unfortunate
