From the Shocking Stories You'd Never Have Expected Dept.:
Full story: Police struggle to stop flood of firearms into UK Huh. So criminals don't obey laws? "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | ||

Why don't they just remind everyone that it's a gun free zone? | |||

Wait, what? |
Just start another round of confiscations from law abiding citizens- that'll fix everything, right? “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I hope it's the white British that are sick of being on their own. Any dusty AR-18s up north that need a cause? | |||

The gullible are easily duped into relying on government. The weak and the brainwashed will continue to submit. Giving up their ability to defend themselves was just a part of the bigger problem of a lack of self-reliance. We are fortunate in the US to have a strong tradition of "rugged individualism". It's slowly slipping away, but about half of the people here still believe in individualism over collectivism. In Europe, I see this "yellow vest" movement as a hopeful sign of a re-awakening. When societies head down the path of socialism/communism it usually leads to complete societal destruction before a new beginning. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

LOL The UK is a joke, ANY guns are pretty much illegal and even if you had a legal one you can't use it to defend yourself anyway.  | |||

How many buyers are fearful citizens? Making guns illegal in a dangerous environment leads to an underground. Maybe the government doesn't speak for the people. “Mayor Gianluca Buonanno of Borgosesia in Piedmont in northern Italy has offered 250 Euros apiece to citizens to help them pay for a gun,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “This is no tongue-in-cheek joke, either. The mayor has made that offer after accusing the Italian government of failing to protect honest citizens with laws that seem soft on bad guys.” LINK Italian Link Making average people criminals for speaking their minds or wanting to protect themselves seems to be what the UK is aiming to produce. France, too. What's that old saw, Never give an order that you know will not be obeyed because it only weakens your own authority? _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

We all remember this  Tools confiscating tools:  ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one. Luke 22:35-36 NAV "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16 NASV | |||

Maybe my experience was an isolated incident, but I found many of the Brit's I spoke with to have a very strange attitude regarding firearms. When we were visiting Britain we stayed at mostly B&B's. We met other travelers as well as our hosts. When I was asked my job and replied I was a Cop the usual reaction was , "Do You carry a gun" ? Or even, "How can You stand to HAVE to carry a gun"? I tried to get into an intelligent discourse with these folks regarding US Gun Rights usually to no avail. I was IN a gun shop in Scotland and was showing the Clerk a few shots of the whitetail and elk I had shot that previous year on my phone. There was a shot of all six of my AR's leaning up against a wall. He got all nervous and didn't want to even LOOK at my "assault rifles". Maybe after the last big weapon confiscations and an influx of violent immigrants, their attitudes are changing? | |||
