I am NOT advocating returning handguns to the british citizens but if the reason for gun control laws is to reduce violence and crime, the laws don’t work. How about treating the problems and not the symptom (guns)?

True enough that the symptoms not the causes are treated in this country. However it wouldnt exactly make things hugely better if we had an armed citizenry.
What we need to rid ourselves of is the progressive left who have done quite enough damage now.
This country urgently needs a change of Government. The Conservatives woulnt be as bad as Labour thats for sure.
