Let’s take a walk down history lane, shall we? The Liberals are screaming about banning guns and pointing to the alleged paradise that other “enlightened” nations possess. Well, let’s take a peek at our pals across the pond in England.
Gun control in Britain passed in stages, beginning just after World War I and continuing in a reactionary fashion with increasing strictness through the 1990s. Certainly, there cannot be any firearm related crimes in Great Britain! Check the next page for the results:
end of this story is …England took away all the guns and now they ARE the MOST violent country in Europe. It appears that guns may not have been the problem. Perhaps guns help in stemming violent crime.
Think it time for you to get a late night unexpected visit by some hell-bent criminal ready to rob, rape and/or murder and harm you and you might see how foolish your thinking really is. Should consider yourself lucky you’ve never had a life threatening intrusion or assault in your life yet! When you do you may understand if you still live to breathe another minute. As your last though are for self, family, children…etc and the pain they will feel. I had an incident and the police where called but arrived 10 minutes later! Thank god for my trusty Remington 870 pump and my ability to protect myself and family! Punk didn’t expect a flashlight attached to shotgun barrel and a well trained ex-military person and a wife backing me up with a 357 cal. handgun ready to kill him! You may live like a coward and one of the blind and I n denial steeple that live passively through life and ignore facts and truth in life not all human beings not all good, respect life many are evil. I will not fall into this trap of the liberal/progressive left agenda to disarm America! Step out into a busy highway and take your chances to see who stops for you. Chances are someone might not because your life mean nothing to them!
Nrevlam Kaos, I’m an American. Never owned a gun. Don’t want one, but it is imperative to me that people have a right to one here, which arguablly was a catalyst to the revolution. I also think it is worth mentioning thrice the population and has vastly more ground, climates and cities than England, size does matter. Anyhow, I fear organized armed authorities more than myriad independent individuals.
I feel our government has been screwing and beating us down for decades, and the world just got a lot more volatile. Tensions are worse here now than at least the last 40 years.
Are people so naive to think if you disarm law abiding citizens, that criminals will lay down their weapons? THAT MAKES THE LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE SITTING DUCKS WITHOUT DEFENSE.
Guns don’t kill .. people do.
Knives, pokers, machetes, hammers, scarves, wire, rope, etc, as well as gins haven used in murderous acts…. BUT TOOK A HUMAN BEING TO COMMIT THE CRIMINAL ACT. A WEAPON ON IT’S OWN DOES NOTHING.
Take a hint
Your all full of it. UK is so much safer than here. This article is garbage.
@Kaos…America was created because the British demanded our guns. That is why the 2nd amendment was written. Americans have the RIGHT to bear arms and we will never give that up to ANY TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT!
Chris Mroz Johnson. What about this Gem?
@Kaos…Stay where you are because it is where you belong.
That’s what Obama wants to do to America, WAKE UP!!!!
