Just an application of common sense - if you hold or carry a gun, you're more likely to get shot. If you wave it about or point it at someone, you're likely to get shot. Whether the gun is real or a replica is immaterial. Whether you're shot by another gun-toting twat or a police marksman, you're still shot. So, unfortunately I have no sympathy for any criminal, would-be gangster or poser who thinks it's cool to carry a firearm. Whatever the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Mr Duggan that triggered the unrest in Tottenham, and whether or not there turns out to be an issue over police actions, it is quite safe to say that the shooting would not have happened if Mr Duggan was not armed. If it's illegal to wander around with a gun, why do it?
