Yeah I agree. If Britain was to get invaded and we all pulled out guns and started firing away the invasion would just fold. Arming a nation like that can have large scale defensive effects which is good. But also think of the amount of people that would pull one out on you. Over here we don’t even get asked for our money. They jut knife us in the back and walk off. Doubt a gun would be any better. Anyway linked you on my site. I never put you in friend’s blogs because I hardly know you but if you ever feel like a chat just mail me and I will move you up.
ReplyDeleteIan...it's the culture of unarmed victims that allows criminals to be so bold.
ReplyDeleteThey wouldn't be if they didn't know who was prepared to shoot them if they tried to rob them.
It really does work that way.
That's why Britain's crime rate went up so much after they outlawed guns, and why every place in America that they pass "shall issue" laws, allowing more people to carry concealed weapons...the crime rate instantly decreases.
Wolves aren't stupid...they'll go where the sheep are least protected.
Remember when England's populace HAD guns and the cops didn't carry them? Your crime rate was FAR below America's. Now that you've outlawed legal guns, only your outlaws have guns, and your crime rate is out of control.
Washington D.C. has the highest murder rate in the United States. (Unfortunately not in Congress,but in the surrounding metro area).It also has the most draconian anti-gun laws. No citizen in D.C. is allowed to own a gun. These two facts are NOT unrelated!
Always works that way. Studies consistently prove it. But that result is not popular with the Anti-Gunners, including the Media, so you don't hear about it.
