Guns are tools, if it is the intent of the person wielding it to do harm, then he will. Doesnt matter if it is an axe, a chainsaw, sword, knife, gun etc... they are all inanimate objects wielded by individuals that if misused could perpitrate harm on the innocent. Don't believe for a second that he would not have perpitrated the crime with another implement if he didnt have the gun, he would have used a tire iron if that is what he had in hand.
It is time to hold the person accountable for their actions and quit blaming inanimate objects.

Seems to me like the logical conclusion is to outlaw taxi drivers....

No, we should get to the root of the matter and ban the object... taxis.

Makes much more sense, doesn't it?

Thankfully we have a (fairly) right wing government here nowadays, (by our standards) so there wont be any further trouble to gun owners, I dont think.

Having said that, the only way they could make the gun laws any worse would be to ban guns alltogether!

If the likes of Chris Williamson MP,from Labour& the Conservative Party's David Evannett(Who used to be my local MP,but now is James Brokenshire:)& Justine Greening,had their merry,little ways, we'd be completely disarmed by now.
Williamson angers me,because he refuses to accept the legitimate reasons for gun ownership & you can see why here.Also not suprisingly he is a former animal -rights activist,hunts sabateur,which makes this man a very left-wing politition.I watched The House Of Commons debate on Firearms Control on tv.You can see why on these links.

So wait, Britons might be able to own .22 cal handguns again if legislation is passed this year? Where did you find out about this? I have NOT heard of the UK considering legislation like that.
 
Yeah there is a big petition for it, though we aint holding our breath :) Thing is, we are hosting the Olympics this year, as I'm sure you know, and our .22 pistol team have to practice in France ... I mean, how rediculous is that?!?!??!

James Brokenshire (MP for Old Bexley & Sidcup,who was my MP:)who is the Parliamentary under-secratery for crime & security,at The Home Office,said that after the 2012 games,handguns will be discussed.Whether this Coalition restores them or not,is another matter,entirely.
The majority of Conservatives are pro-gun,except for a few,whom Sterling180 has mentioned.The Liberal Democrats are divided on this,but alot see no problem with target-handguns,as they aren't affiliated with any anti-gun groups.Labour however is affiliated with the Gun Control Network&Mothers Against Guns,so thats why they are reluctant to losen the laws.Labour nearly did 11 years ago in 2001,but the GCN made a stink,when they heard about it,so it was dropped-so I read.
