Less guns = less gun deaths and crimes. It's a simple equation.

The simple fact is that there are a lot more people and a lot more guns in the US than in the UK. There's no way to get rid of all of them, so the best thing we can do is to make sure that everyone who is willing to do so is fully capable of defending themselves from the bad guys. The bad guys will always find a way to hurt us, so I want a way to stop them. I believe that while gun deaths have gone down since the UK restricted firearm ownership, reports other violent crime have gone way up, and the violent crime rate has stayed the same or increased. A man who wants to kill you or mug you will do it whether or not he has a gun.
