Because the result is that other than police it is only criminals who have access to firearms. That is EXACTLY what is happening today.

And how will giving the entire population access to firearms solve that problem, Todger? As far as I can see, it would not only encourage the criminals who don't have a gun to get one, but it would also increase the chance of my getting shot by someone who isn't a criminal.

At the risk of repeating myself:

USA firearms 12.21 fatalities per 100,000 per year
UK firearms 0.20 fatalities per 100,000 per year

Well I never! Who could have predicted that having more guns in circulation would result in more people being shot?

Perhaps it's the scale you are not grasping. It's SIXTY times greater than UK.
