British Subjects Would Like Their Guns Back

There's a video on this blog that is somewhat interesting.

That'll be us in 20 years.

Brits should not have guns!!

Guns + Rowdy Drunks and Soccer Hoodlums = No Good

Tea and Crumpets are all they deserve

Canada is next you mean.

The loopholes up here are crazy.

Impossible. I've been told from very reliable sources that Britons care not for gun ownership.

Besides, they aren't outlawed. Anyone that wants one can still have one.*










*Except, of course the British Olympic shooting team, who has to practice in France.

They are like the Jamaican bobsled team. They should make a movie about them, called..............Cool Gunnings.

Those poor fools. They have no means to overthrow an oppressive government, and they have slobs like Dan Leach to stand in the way of their liberty.

^ With the ever-increasing collapse of our miliatry strength I think we could easily topple the government if we told the drunken chav masses that alcohol and football were being banned. You could easily attack Parliament with knives fashioned from empty beer cans and plasic bottled vomit bombs.

You're right - I don't. Should we need to, the citizenry does though, you fool.

Did you miss the part when they were complaining that they didn't realize that allowing handguns to be take would ultimatley mean all of their guns can be legally taken? Or the part about how crime is out of control and the police can't do dick about it?

We're not talking about the US Dan.

Yeah, great Dan. The crusader of truth returns. Now go and find the figs for violent crime based murder involving weapons and methods other than firearms.

Make no bones about it, the UK has a crime problem and its getting worse. To think otherwise, and to suggest we have it under control, is laughable. Plus, if guns were available to the general public then are crime rate would be higher than the US as policing is crappier, we have fewer coppers, more paperwork and no prisons to put dirtbags in. Crime, per se, is worse and right now, when it comes to personal safety, I feel safer in New York than I do in London.

We could overthrow the Gov without guns.

You would be surprised how inventive we are.

Unfortunately Dan, your civilised parts of the country rely on our dirty problem cities to fund their continued existance, so if they go down the toilet sooner or later you do too. Still not care about what happens in the big city?

I cause? Are you saying I am criminal or have in some way contributed to an increase in crime?

I'm not suprised. America is a violent place....

...however our violent crime has been fairly dramatically (if not quite steadily) going down over the past decade, whereas, unless I'm mistaken, violent crime in the UK has been on the increase.

I think they just need more police actually doing shit.

I feel nervous when I see a policeman, because where I grew up, you only saw them AFTER a crime had been committed. So my association has ended up that more police means the area is getting worse.

And despite all the talks we had by policemen when little, they stopped at about age 8, and so when I grew up, and learnt that the authority figures were people too, and actually started to be more effected by crime, and notice it more, the image of a policeman as protective authority wasn't strong enough. I mean, I don't know if I'd ever report a rape, and I know a lot of my friends have said the same.

And that's nothing to do with the police themselves, or a lack of guns, it's to do with a relationship with the police as a whole, that's sustained, and an association that police help stop crime, rather than being indicators of more crime.

Clearly, your only hope is to accept the iron fist of the Teal-Colored Reign of Terror.

I blame violent video games.

Then you would be an idiot, as studies have shown they don't increase violent tendancies.

Look at you. You think you live in the world of GTA. Carrying a gun everywhere you go.

I rest my case.

Look at you. You're too stupid to ascertain the difference between a licensed, trained, law abiding citizen who believes in the basic right of man to defend themselves and an illegal serbian immigrant walking around a play world carrying a fully automatic weapon, taking potshots at people, running hits, selling drugs, etc - all right in front of policemen he can then hop in a car, drive off a cliff, get up, and walk off the radar of.

Yeah Mewa, if I were you, I would rest my case too - no sense sinking all that money into lawyers when you're going to lose.
