> Frankly, the biggest problem we have with guns is smuggled handguns from the US. That is, illegal gun ownership. This is a huge problem in the US, as well. Most gun crimes are committed with unregistered, stolen, borrowed, or otherwise illegally obtained handguns. It's uncommon to have a crime where the weapons were purchased legally by the criminal. > For example, get charged with a violent crime? Your license is immediately suspended, and you cannot have guns any more. It is the same thing here. If you are charged with a violent crime, your guns will be seized. If you are convicted, you cannot own legally without a court order re-instating your rights. > because your politics are infecting our politics, as many people barely understand the law, or that "there isn't here". All politics are local, and the internet is global. The issue in the US is that the urban areas don't understand the need for firearms in rural areas. Rural people don't understand how dangerous firing even a .22 rifle is in a city, how terrifying seeing someone with a 9mm on their hip in a crowd is, or how many street criminals will target you just to steal your gun. |
