It's not about what you can do to yourself, it's about what you could do to others.

so no need for any suicide prevention then ?
here i thought saving lives was the goal. silly me.

1459346 2019-03-22 22:13:00 I notice that nobody is complaining about the police being armed anymore. Another point is that it is perfectly possible to kill a large number of people without using a firearm if one is deranged enough to wish to do so. Restricting access to firearms would prevent, perhaps, a spur of the moment killing but it will make no difference to anyone who plans an attack against any group well in advance.

and thats just it.
firearms rules where always about preventing spur of the moment acts, people get heated and do stupid things. by far the most common type of incidents. there has only ever been two major incidents in modern times and they are 30 years apart.
you can't stop planned attacks very easily and guns are not usually the main weapon.
notice no one is talking about the bombs he made.

1459347 2019-03-22 22:15:00 At least there will not be a second term commie government, a lot of silent gun owners will remember this undemocratic change to gun laws at the ballot box. God save the Queen.

As far as I know, all the parties supported the law change so it wouldn't have mattered who was in government.

thats more to do with politics rather than actually looking a the facts of the situation.
it would be political suicide to go against anything no matter how bad it is.

1459349 2019-03-22 22:35:00 as its in the news at the moment, imagen if we banned aircraft because of one crash in 30 years.
big passenger aircraft crash all the time killing hundreds at a time. but we still fly on them.
the aircraft industry spends a lot of time and money finding out the true cause and fixing the real problem.

its all about understanding risk. the old story of the most dangerous part of flying is driving to the airport.
and theres more chance of dieing in an aircraft crash than being shot by a nut job gunman.

Ok, I will.
It leads to them being trigger happy too. Look at the US
They HAVE guns, they don't need to assign one to every beat cop on the street.

What makes you think that police here are trigger happy?

Please don't take the 0.5% of cops who are idiots and apply it to the 99.5% who do a great job.
