We all pretty much know that many americans keep guns for reasons of self-defense. I have found that unless a person has an experience with crime or tragedy, they pretty much will never change their mind about keeping or not keeping a gun in their house. My question is what do you Brits think about gun ownership? Do Brits not worry about the looney in the night? Aside from laws, why do people in the UK not keep guns the way those in the US do? Would you want to have a gun in the nightstand if some crazy person broke into your house at night? We always hear about the Us and their guns, what about the UK and their relative lack of them?
