Firearms debate........suicide in gun shop?

[ianess]

A tragic incident in a gun shop in Aberdeen yesterday, click here for details, seems to have been kept out of the national news.
Does this incident reinforce the case for a total ban on firearms?

There are many issues here, most of which I fear is this general nonsense that banning will send the problem away.

The truth about gun control

The Scottish Police had their share of the blame:

And I suggest strongly that advocates of gun control take a good look at countries that have high gun ownership with very low crime. Gun violence in the UK has risen since the ban and that is a fact.
