Banning guns is stupid. I just think guns should be heavily restricted. If we let anyone have a gun, that means anyone can have a gun. People make the argument that they want to protect their own freedoms, but when this freedom also extends to those who want to commit mass shootings and murders with these weapons, it's a problem.

I'm quite happy with the gun situation in Britain because it has worked. The terror attacks in 2017 would have been so much worse if the attackers had guns. So many more people would have died.
 * In the Westminister attack, the attacker stabbed an unarmed policeman. If he had a gun, the casualties in this attack would be much greater.
 * In the London Bridge attack, the three attackers were armed with knives. They killed 11 people with a van and knives. London has a lot of people in it. And a lot more people would have died if these three attackers did not have to catch people and then stab them, instead of shooting them from a distance.
