This isn’t relevant to the UK you yankee wankers.
@9LVFKKQ10mos10MO
100% no. That would be a horrific idea. Ban firearms altogether and make the punishments more severe.
@8ZJLRF43yrs3Y
Not a real issue in the UK.
@B223CKP 2mos2MO
I think yes, but it should also be required that a guard has a gun, as well that the it is a right in the constitution to bear arms.
@9WQKFWK3mos3MO
Yes and I believe in deregulating gun legislation to allow more British Citizens the right to keep and bear arms in accordance to the English Bill of Rights 1689.
@92JFFHV3yrs3Y
Yes, and guns should be legalised
@B25V9LW2mos2MO
Guns? Guns! What sort of a question is that? I thought this was a UK-centric quiz, this question is just silly.
@9QLYZD97mos7MO
No, but schools in high risk or gang related crime areas should probably have some kind of security.
