Should there be a total ban on the public owning firearms in the UK?

Should there be a total ban on the public owning firearms in the UK? Plus hayfever, migraines or a lingering cold? Health guru Dr Pritpal Ruprai takes your questions.

After 1, 
'Should there be a total ban on the public owning firearms in the UK?' 
It's an incident that has shocked the entire country. Twelve people were killed and 25 injured by gunman Derrick Bird who opened fire in west Cumbria. Cumbria Police have said the man responsible had been a licensed firearms holder for twenty years. The 52 year old, used a shotgun and a point two rifle fitted with a telescopic sight. 

Although Britain has got some of the toughest laws in place it's possible to get a firearms license. 
What do you think about this incident? If you are in Cumbria, please get in contact with us we would really like to hear from you. Do you think a total ban will stop such incidents? Is having a gun ever justified? Would you feel safer if there was a total gun ban?
