We need to disarm people because, in general and on the whole, the general population is not universally capable of not using their weapons lethally.


Man, I'm really not trying to bust your chops today and I know you're sincere and all, but do you think about what you are posting?

In the first sentence you say, "But right now...in parts of London, there are gangs walking around with guns..."

In the second sentence you say, "We need to disarm people..."



WELL,

Guns are ILLEGAL to own in London, so the people are theoretically already "disarmed". But of course, the criminals aren't playing nice and following the law, so that means that only they have guns.

In otherwords, "disarming" really means disarming the law-abiding.

So if an honest person wants to *gasp* defend themselves, they are out of luck.
