   So what?  Gun deaths were still infinitesimal in the UK when it was legal to   
   own handguns on firearms licence.  In France target pistol shooting on   
   licence is still permitted.  Is France a charnel house?

   Well at least I am not an illiterate cunt who posts statistics which are   
   irrelevant to the point I was making.  Being a thick cunt you won't have   
   actually twigged that I was posting in support of gun control.  But then you   
   are thick cunt so you could not have understood that.
