To be clear, I think everyone should have the right to defend themselves. No one should be forced to become a victim by the state.
It is my understanding that the UK, despite its high violent crime rate, sees less people actually killed, and I don't doubt that that has something to do with the lack of easily available guns.

Let me get this right, so your fine with 'criminals' committing more crime, as long as the murder rate is lower? You do not see the part of 'the State' UK by removing firearms has made more victims?
