Are all Brits this dense, Bod? I've explained it to you and other
limey's here before, but you keep harping on it. It isn't fear or
needs. We own guns because we WANT to and we CAN. Our gun rights are
a natural born right. Guns are a great investment. Like insurance.
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Forget about your _feelings_, nobody here cares what you "feel". Is
that to much for you to understand?

No, it's you who doesn't get it. You've actually made my point when
you said:
"Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it".

That means you carry a gun because you're frightened someone might pull
a gun on you.

We don't feel frightened enough to carry a gun because we know that
others don't carry them.....get it?
You feel the need to carry a gun for protection, we have that peace of
mind *without* feeling the need to carry one.



What do you think of this:

"Britain could move closer towards having fully armed police as officers
from the country's biggest force are today asked if they want to carry a
gun.

The Metropolitan Police Federation will be asking its members whether
they would be willing to carry a gun or Taser in the wake of a spate of
terror attacks in Europe.

They will also be asked if the prospect of being armed would put them
off their jobs. Nationally, the number of armed police is being boosted
by 1,500 officers, the number that security officials believe Britain
needs to help protect the public from the possibility of a terror
attack...."
