Ok fair enough about the assault weapons. I think the main issue is that there needs to be more detailed background checks for those who wish to apply for any licence to hold a leathal weapon i.e. a gun. There have been incidents before where people who were mentally unstable have been able to get hold of a gun TOO EASILY. Namely the bonkers chap who went on a rampage in the local Tech not long ago (think it was in virginia??) all he had to do was say that he didn't have any mental illnesses and that was it... yes... very foolproof. I'm not against people having weapons, I myself would love to have a rifle to go shooting at a range or something... but its simply not allowed here in the UK.

Gun ownership is fine by me, but there need to be very powerful safeguards and thorough background checks before one is allowed to bear arms.
