Shotgun?

After Dunblane I was naturally as shocked and disturbed as the next man, but I did say that all that happens when you have bans on carrying guns and you stop, or make it more difficult for honest people to have them for honest purposes, is you burden them. Criminals will always be able to get hold of them somehow. It is the people who genuinely want them for respectable purposes who lose out.

What is needed is action against the causes of serious violent and gun crime, a system to try and weed out people who may lose their minds and commit atrocities and an acceptance that, sad though it is, there will always be some nutters out there who we don't and can't know about.
