I'm from the UK and have been brought up with guns (12 bores and air rifles/pistols etc) and have a very healthy respect for them.

I dont see the need for people to keep them for any other reason than to use in sport (clay pigeon shooting/pheasant shooting, practice ranges etc).
It'd be good if people had to store their hand-guns at the shooting ranges and not be able to take them out. Sports rifles could be more problematic as they can be used outside the remit of a shooting range.
I know things are different in the US and guns are more freely available but anything is good that makes it harder for joe public to access them without a valid reason.

Just my twopence

p.s, I dont currently and won't ever own a gun unless I take up clay pigeon shooting as a major hobby (which would be nice but I prefer 3D modelling )

Btw, back on subject, thats a great model you've done there rick
