BOTH of these tools could also be used in a "crime of passion", so that nullifies shamrocks argument.

Hmm...I thought I was just agreeing with Luvian's argument there! Guns were simply the thing that popped into my head when I thought of crimes of passion, not my intention to make any kind of argument. This time anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]
No, my general feeling on this is quite American really, I hate it when government regulates too much. I thought the banning of handguns after Dunblane was an overreaction because it only took guns from licensed users in gun clubs, criminals could still get hold of them and I take much the same view with this suggestion.
