Pah! Too much effort!
More Lugers in faces, I tell you, that's the answer...
In the old days a gentleman carried a sword. Any who impugned his honour stood a good chance of being run through.
Laws against duelling were brought in not because of the risk to the general public, but because being a bunch of randy bu**ers, the gentry kept shagging each others wives and were killing each other off at an unsustainable rate.

Sidearms should be available to all who are eligable to vote. People would be far more polite to each other if they thought there was a real chance of meeting my friends Mr Smith and Mr Wesson.

Don't believe me? My Bro lives in central London and the politeness you see late at night is tangible - mostly on account of all the wannabe gangsta's carrying 9-milli's ready to off anyone who disses 'em.

I'm laughing because most of them couldn't hit a barn door from the inside, especially when thier piece jams coz they're holding it sideways! Stand your ground, take aim and one round in the nut will do the job.
After a year or so all the riff-raff will have been buried and the rest of the survivors can live normal, peaceful lives.

No Uzis though, that's cheating.
Saves money on court costs as well.
