THE RIGHY TO CARRY GUNS

Britain and the usa mught be considered to enjoy a special relationship due to historical
links and the posesin of a common language.However, this special relationship
certainly does not entend to the issue of the carrying of arms, where both the legal
situation and public opinion is radically different on either side oj the atlantic,
specifically , whereas in the united states any adult can buy a gun over the counter, in
Britain there has been a ban on hand guns since 1997.Althoug most Europeans find this
ban totally reasonable, many americans would judge thes state of affairs as little short of
scandalous.
A case in point is the famous Hollywood actor, Charlton Heston.he contends that the
crime rate in Britain has increased since the 1997 ban, while ignoring the fact that there
are a multiplicity of other factors which couldt account for this rise.Heston is probably
tteveryone:while tony blair, the british prime minister, has bodyguards and the british
police are allowed to defend themselves, the man in the street is left defenceless.Is this,
as he claims, a subtle form of surrender to criminals?s
