This sounds a bit like what the yanks might be saying to the Chinese given a bit of time. You might not need a firearm in Britain but out in the uncivilised colonies you'd be slightly retarded not to see the need occassionally .

Your constant barrage of bullshit is not fucking funny. You are blatantly just making this shit up. You should be a bit more careful before shouting "bullshit". 160,000 is about the number of handguns confiscated. (It was actually about 166,000.) But there were also many long guns confiscated in addition to handguns, and even things like antiques, starter pistols, and signal cannons. So you haven't disproven my number of 1.5 million total guns confiscated. And, by the way, no, that number isn't just "blatantly shit made up" - there are numerous sources for that on the internet. Likewise, what I said was that 4% of the population were gun owners. You seem to conclude that this too is a lie, because it doesn't jive with the number of handguns confiscated. But once again you are allowing your emotion is override your reason. There are many gun owners who were not handgun owners. And there were also many gun owners, such as shotgun owners, who ultimately didn't have their firearms confiscated, but certainly had good reason to be concerned during the debate. Just because I said that 4% of the population were gun owners, doesn't correspond to saying that 4% had guns confiscated. This would be the explanation for the "discrepancy" you raise. If you weren't so emotional about it, you might have realized this before going off half-cocked. And finally, regardless of what number you want to believe, the principles I expressed remain the same: 1) It is wrong to punish people by confiscating their property when they haven't done anything wrong, and; 2) It is wrong to do the above just because a majority says so. 3) It is wrong to claim that no one cared, when in fact there were hundreds of thousands of citizens who did care.
