This is brilliant. First they let people have them, and now they "severely restrict" them. In my experience that is like giving a kid candy and taking it away from him a second later. We know how that works out....... Wow!

The British never allowed them to own guns, why would their own government change that? There's never been a legitimate reason to deny people their civil rights, and the Irish government ignores this fact at their peril.

Pathetic.

My guess it's somewhere around zero. I wonder how many of those 1800 people have committed a crime with a handgun? My guess it’s somewhere around zero.
