I've got to respect your stance, Tao, but I still think that banning legally held guns in the UK made no difference to- or even adversely influenced gun crime in the UK. If the issue of illegal firearms was to be addressed properly, then something much grander than simply restricting the use of legally held hand guns would have to be in order. I'm always harping on about less enlightened eras of man-kind, and I thoroughly believe we have a bloody long way to go before we even begin to figure things out. Firearms will be a part of human society, in warfare [i]and[/i] in peace-time, just as any other type of weapon, while certain drives and inequities continue to exist. In a way; to ban weapons of any sort (let alone hand guns) and reasonably expect this to make a substantial difference to weapons/violence-related crimes, one might presume to change something fundamental in human nature (and perhaps nature itself) in the process. When it comes down to it, I can make a weapon of each of my limbs, my head, my hands and feet, my teeth, nails, elbows and knees, and practically anything that can be picked-up, shoved, swung, or jabbed with. If I was intent on a violent act, whether criminally or in defence, then weapons bans are unlikely going to make a difference. Of course, I'm not addressing the issue of ease. To kill a man with my hands would require passion (hate, fear, motivation), courage (or audacity), the physical capacity to achieve it, and no small amount of effort... ...with a gun, all I need do is squeeze. I can see how that can be terrifying.
