Guns are made for murder not sport, please stop pretending
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Perhaps it's because I live in a relatively rural and affluent part of this country, but it seems that British gun advocates are just uneducated teenagers from our roughest cities that have watched too many American films.
I'm in the US, and I own pistols for target shooting.
UK based target shooters would probably like handguns for the same reason.

Aside from the fact that gun restrictions increase the State's monopoly on the use of violence, which I absolutely oppose, putting gun laws in place are not going to stop criminals from getting guns. Criminals are criminals because they break the law, so if they want a gun, restrictions won't stop them. And they're less likely to shoot if they know that civilians have handguns and can shoot them back.

Indeed, if they wanted them for something other than target shooting it would probably be a little weird that they considered themselves target shooters. Regardless, there are a wide swath of legally available firearms to shoot at targets.
