BBC bosses went the extra mile to ensure the safety of actress and comedian Diane Morgan during the filming of 'Cunk on Life' in Las Vegas. The security measures were put in place as a precautionary step due to an incident where Diane was almost attacked on set.

During filming, Diane found herself in a precarious situation when a drunken individual approached her aggressively. The quick actions of the security team prevented any harm from coming to the comedian, with Diane jokingly recounting the incident as a moment where she thought she might "get shot at."

They don't, the only people who own many guns generally do so as a hobby.

Statistically most people will never need a firearm to defend themselves, though they may have one anyway for the small chance that they do. But it's not a requirement to survive, it's just a little bit of extra insurance.

If you look around the internet a little you’ll find plenty of people who apparently need 50+ guns for self defense.

But it's not a requirement to survive

Then why should anyone be allowed to own a device that has no other purpose than to kill other human beings?

Well, for one, our police are pretty damn aweful. More than a few times, calling them for help can result in things getting worse, or they shoot the person calling for help due to being so poorly trained and trigger happy.

So although most people will never need to defend themselves, it's not a zero percent chance. Home invasions do happen, and unfortunately hate crimes against minorities and LGBT communities can happen too. Some of those people may wish to have a viable way of protecting themselves against those who may do them harm, because in some of those situations, pepper spray might not be enough, and calling the police may not be an option.
