    Already like that in a number of countries... what's the issue here?

    Name those countries.

    I have an issue with dunkman's take on the evil of firearms. I think the gun is a nice little tool, is all. If it is only in the hands of the military and/or the cops then it is a tool for control, and that doesn't jibe with my way of thinking.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    So, you're cool with geniuses and liberals owning guns?

    lol I only need one for the same reason that baseball players need baseballs...........It's hard to shoot a pheasant by pointing your finger and shouting bang.
    edit: or for your animal rights activists.........to shoot a clay pigeon.

    I'd like to get out to the country before this year is out and bang some pheasant, too.

    edit: "bag" some pheasant.

    hunting with guns is still legal in Scotland.. i'm fine with that gun usage, its the non-trained, bought out of fear people i'm worried about

    genuine huntsmen and stuff are usually very very good with their guns.. in terms of handling, safekeeping, training, etc..... i personally would like to go hunting one day in the Highlands of Scotland.. i think it'd be amazing

    I mean to live out there. I'll purchase a gun when I get there, for hunting and home security reasons.

    Yeah, truthfully, I think that requiring everyone who buys or owns a gun to display a certification that they finished a gun-safety class is a better start than banning them all together. If they had attended one of those, they would know how unsafe it is to leave a gun loaded and within reach of a child. In order to legally hunt in Texas you must have a hunter's education certification. Is it that way in Scotland too? I'll agree with you that guns should be kept out of the hands of uneducated idiots..........but a total ban will never get my vote.

    Privately, I hope. I would be surprised if this was funded by government money. The research, I mean.

    Or, maybe I wouldn't be surprised.
