But that's the thing, the government in the UK doesn't decide if you have a gun. That's up to you because it's based on background checks and it's your local police that views your record. If anything on your police, medical, driving record and social media accounts has something that makes you unsuitable to have a gun, then it was simply down to you why your application was unsuccessful.
When Harris lost, some Left Wing freaks took to Tik Tok etc.. wanting hitmen to take Trump out, harm Right Wingers etc.. In the UK, that would be viewed by the police and tough shit, no gun for you. Did the government deny you a gun, or did you deny you a gun?
Doing it that way means the vast majority of guns are in safe hands. Does it stop all incidents? No. But anyone wanting to know to what extent it does, just compare gun stats per capita.
That's the umpteenth time I've explained it, and it's exactly the same number of times gun nuts will fail to store it in their heads. When it comes to storing basic information that proves an American myth wrong, Americans can't absorb and remember it.
That you side with joe...who is the antithesis of everything you actually believe, as seen in your posts in other threads.....is insane.........
Europe ....vs. the U.S...
Case Closed: Kleck Is Still Correct
There are roughly 100,000 people shot in the United States yearly, and something over 30,000 die. If this 1/3 vs. 2/3 ratio of deaths to injuries in actual shootings pertains in these DGUs, that makes for at least 176,000 lives saved—less some attackers who lost their lives to defenders. This enormous benefit dwarfs, both in human and economic terms, the losses trumpeted by hoplophobes who only choose to see the risk side of the equation.

Europe...
In the 1920s, they began the process of registering guns....to make their people safer. That was the lie. by the mid 1930s, the socialists in Germany began the process of banning and confiscating guns, and the same for the countries they defeated......using the gun registration lists created in the 1920s....
By 1939, the German socialists began to murder 15 million - 20 million people....in 6 years.....men, women and over 1 million children.
6 years, 15 million- 20 million murdered citizens..not war dead, innocent people rounded up and murdered in camps and forests....
Including 1 million children
15 million in 6 years.
In the United States, gun murder for our entire 247 year history?
Around 2,470,000
Europe.... 15-20 million murdered in 6 years.
U.S..... 2,470,000 murdered in 247 years
How many hundreds of years will it take the U.S. to catch up with the number of Europeans murdered by their governments.....
Lives saved....based on research? By law abiding gun owners using guns to stop criminals?
