I still reckon it would be much more simple if there were no firearms - anywhere - except with LEOs.
But then again that's just my view, and obviously because I'm from Down Under a very biased one.
In the past week here we've had three - that's right, only three - shooting deaths and they were all gang-related. Bikie turf wars. Illegal hand guns. I see that as justifiable use of a weapon to rid society of society's outlaws.
Just my two cents' worth prior to being howled down, once again, by fastidiously loyal NRA members.
