Make the registered owner partly responsible for any crime committed with a weapon registered to them and I think that would be curbed (at least mainly).

LOL! What if the weapon was stolen? In any event it’s impossible as this would require a national registry and that’s constitutionally illegal.
 
I do! The police cannot be everywhere. By the time the police would arrive, the damage would be done!
 
Ditto. I keep mine in my car because I can’t carry in the courthouse. I have special conceal carry purses that I use when I do carry so it alerts my brain that I AM carrying so I’m hypersensitive to where my purse is at all times.

I am so pleased we do not have this worry in the UK.
 
Give it time; you may end up here in the not too distant future.

Then you also could become a buckaroo.

i would not be so quick to judge
according to the telegraph
London is now more crime ridden and dangerous than New York City, with rape, robbery and violent offences far higher on this side of the Atlantic

I go out with the Street Pastors, we walk around town until 4 am on a Saturday morning, we have ladies in our teams who are in their seventies. We walk in the middle of fights, we calm people down and afterwards there are handshakes and hugs.

Try this in parts of Chicago or Detriot and you’d all be shot dead if nothing else just for having the wrong skin colour or being in the wrong place at the same time.

Oh, and I don’t believe your story in any case----and at least I think you’re leaving out key details.

I could not be a Street Pastor if I depended on my own strength, it is very much the opposite, we go out in total weakness. We pray and we trust in our Lord, we try and take the love of God out on the streets in practical ways by listening, caring and trying to help others when we can. Intervening in fights is a small part of what we do and not all Street Pastors will intervene in fights.

What key details do you think I am omitting?
 
You might watch this 9 minute video about Street Pastors in a district of Manchester, they named gunchester.

 
This reminds me of our own Father Greg Boyle and his work helping the gang members caught up in violence here in Los Angeles. Over the years he has won the trust and respect of many, placing himself in dangerous situations time and again, and changing lives for the better, without ever toting a gun.

gun? what gun? who ME? own what???

this is why the polls of how many households have guns is suspect.

why would they say, what advantage would be in it for the gun owner.

You seem pretty active in this thread. I was just answering the OP’'s question. If you want an argument find someone else.

Rule #1: The gun is always loaded. Rule #2: If in doubt, see rule number 1.

He missed a step. You don’t just drop the magazine and think it’s empty. You ALWAYS inspect the chamber, manually if possible. That should be practiced until it’s automatic, much like taking the thumb safety “off” (if so equipped) on the draw.

Also, when presenting a weapon to another person, you drop the magazine if equipped and lock the action open or open the cylinder (and remove the rounds) and leave it that way.
