You can complain that a "heated dispute" is heading our way, perhaps that's not such a bad thing.
That's always been a debate here in the UK, that the heavy restriction on hand guns should always be enforced, as the UK shouldn't have a gun society like the USA.

We have a knife culture here, but you can't go on a huge killing spree just armed with a knife.
