Well said Beaky Bird.

I don't know how you live with yourself if you shot or beat someone with a club just because they wanted your property.

Here in the UK gun crimes are still relatively rare although I have no doubt that they are increasing.

One of the biggest rise is the number of young black males from gangs who are killing each other as they emulate what they see already happening in the US and other gun crazy countries.

A good home security sytem appeals more to me than harming others. If you don't have a gun the you can't harm anyone - I know I'm being naieve but I'm thankful that I don't live in a country where you need to own a gun (yet).
