funny, in the UK nobody has to protect their loved ones with guns.

Nobody 'has' to in the United States, either.
It's a right, not a requirement.

Take this story. Imagine that all those people in that cafe were armed, how many do you think would have been killed by the gunman before he was killed? Imagine if only the guy who threw some stools had a gun, how many do you think he could have saved?

The problem in America isn't that we have the right to carry a firearm to protect ourselves, it's that so few choose to. Granted some areas make it extremely hard to carry a firearm for personal protection, but it doesn't slow the rate crimes committed with firearms.

Out of interest what are the statistics on firearm deaths in America, outside of those in the armed forces?

hoho this will be good.
bearing in mind 90% of these will have nothing to do with "protecting" yourself

[JenJen]

Oh man, now that you guys mention it, I forgot it is impossible to kill people without a gun. Yes, we must ban all guns now, because it is safer. Look at the European countries, they have 0 murders committed since the strict firearm enforcement, people only die from old age there.
