Britain Needs Guns

Welcome

This website exists to promote responsible gun ownership in the United Kingdom for self-defence purposes and to lobby the government to have the existing UK gun laws repealed or relaxed.

The site also exists to dispel the untrue myths concerning gun ownership that have been put forward by the UK newspapers and other media.

In 1997, the UK governments imposed a nationwide ban on the purchasing and ownership of all handguns following the gun massacre in Dunblane, Scotland.

At the time we were told by the authorities that such a ban would make the UK a safer place for everyone. When you consider that promise from politicians, it's clear that it has been a massive failure. In fact, it's now made the UK into a far more dangerous place to live.

It's important to remember that guns are not the problem, criminals are. If guns are responsible for crime, does that mean spoons are responsible for making people fat ?

The fact is that when you ban weapons from society the only thing you succeed in doing is leaving decent law-abiding people defenceless. The criminals remain armed because they don't obey the law, remember - when guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns.

In turn, this actually encourages criminals to commit more crime as their job becomes much easier when they know they'll encounter no resistance from their victims. As former US President Thomas Jefferson once said - "an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

One thing is clear, we need to try a new and different approach to crime, as the current method is proving to be counter-productive. Continuing along the current path will result in a very dangerous and completely disarmed country, where criminals rule the streets and good, decent people live in fear.

The idea of allowing citizens to own and use firearms for self-defence purposes is controversial but despite what the media want you to believe it's proven to be very successful in reducing violent crime around the world, with particular success being noted in the United States.

Huge decisions such as this should be based on a knowledge of the facts. Unfortunately British attitudes regarding gun control are seriously misguided, and there is a great deal of ignorance in society towards guns as self-defence tools. This ignorance seems to be widespread throughout the UK.

This is something that I hope to be able to change by presenting the facts surrounding responsible gun ownership in a clear and easy to understand manner.

Please take the time to explore this website and consider all the points made in it before dismissing this idea, I think you'll be be surprised at what you learn.
