In reply to Colin.

On firearms. The point is the distinction between illegal and legal firearms. By and large people who own a gun and have a firearm licence are the most law abiding members of society and are least likely to use one in a criminal act. Switzerland is the most organised firearm owning society on the globe which has, per head of the population the lowest level of crime involving a legal firearm. A bloke, an aristocrat I campaigned with to oppose the banning of handguns wrote this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Most-Armed-Free-Richard-Munday/dp/1871134013.

The Colonel further down said in so many words – a democratic society should not just allow legal firearm ownership – as long as you are not insane, but the basis of democracy demands it.
