From my own view, allowing any access to a firearm increases the chances that they will be used against people.
Whilst in the UK legal firearm ownership is limited compared with the US there have still been enough legal abuses to suggest that the current laws fail to protect citizens.
Again from my own point of view I believe that there is no reasonable justification for private firearm ownership especially since land parcels large enough for their safe use are disappearing as any free land is converted into housing.
