Dear Andy and all - yes, we ARE the rational element of considered gun ownership - people who are forced by their own standards of decency and 'what is right' to give more than passing concern into the responsibilities of owning and carrying a gun.
Here in yUK, where we have to prove that we are fit people to own a gun of any kind, there is no group of people who are not trusted with the secrets of state who are 'looked into' by more people. As I mentioned, three people have to be convinced that you are one of the 'good guys' - four if you count the Firearms Enquiries Officer' who comes to your home and interviews you in order to see for himself that you are not the kind of person who would bribe three others just say what a bon oeuf you are, fit to have guns.
Right now, none that happens in the only country on earth where the RKBA wields its so-far unyielding promise, that the People have the G*d-given RIGHT to possess firearms as part of being human.
But it could all change, and that change could be brought about by your own government, led by a group of people intent on Constitutional change. Their rationale is not difficult to understand, and has resonance that has reached down the years to haunt you all.
Back in the early 1930's, the then newly-elected leader of a country went on national radio and said -'Now that dangerous firearms of all kinds have been taken away, and placed in the safe hands of our police and military, we have thereby ensured the safety and security of our great nation for all time!'
You might recognise it more readily if I print it out in the original language -
'Jetzt sind diese gefährlichen Feuerwaffen aller Arten weggenommen worden, und setzten in die sicheren Hände von unserer Polizei und unserem Militär, wir haben dadurch die Sicherheit und Garantie unserer großen Nation für alle Zeit sichergestellt!'

PS - I have NO idea why some of my text has been struck through - perhaps somebody here can explanate it for me.
