It's interesting that Trump was the person that suggested violence along with election fraud etc.
The gun lobby is rather powerful in the US. Some misunderstanding likely here. Shooting is a sport and hunting can figure. Both go in he UK. Shotguns are the ones most misused and also the easiest thing to get a licence for. Compared with ownership levels problems are infrequent, There are also problems with replica guns that use low calibre bullets. Not really the guns but people who open ranges where people go in and just spray stuff around with little if any supervision. The main problem is bullets leaving the confines of the range. Good job these guns use relatively low power 22 bullets.
