For those who know the gun laws in Britain are really dumb & here are my thoughts on the subject

Any state which disarms the people is a state to be very worried about. But even if the tyrannical state argument seems a bit paranoid in relation to why individuals should have to own guns the self defense argument isn’t. In Britain an individual isn’t even allowed to carry a knife on their person for self defense. So what are you meant to do if you get attacked? Oh yes of course call the police, well firstly whilst you getting beaten to death you don’t have a chance to call the police, secondly if you do manage to call the police they might be able to respond in time. Recently it was announced that the police were to be issued with taser guns. How about issuing the police with magic dust so that when they arrive on the scene & you’ve been beaten to death that they can sprinkle it & make everything okay.
So the police are going to be issued with taser guns but are private citizens allowed to own taser guns? Dumb question of course not & just by advocating that it should be legal for private citizens to arm themselves the majority of people in Britain think you’re some sort of sick wacko. Yes the Dunblane Massacre was a horrific tragedy but it doesn’t mean that every gun owner is a complete nut but the anti gun lobby has done a good job to spin it that’s the case.
Of course the anti gun lobby say if guns were easily available then there would be more crime. There’s a one word answer to that…..Switzerland. The Swiss are the most armed nation in the world, it’s a country were you can walk of the street into any gun shop & with a valid ID buy an Uzi. Yet with such liberal gun laws there’s very little crime. But of course gun lobby looks across the pond & babbles on about the crime rate in the US. Why not babble on about the crime rate in Canada a country which has proportionately just as high gun ownership as the US? It wouldn’t be that the crime rate is even lower then Britain. Taking the US as a whole is actually a distortion being as each state has differing restrictions on gun ownership & the states with the most liberal gun laws such as New Hampshire & Texas have the lowest crime rates. Here’s a fact which the anti gun lobby can’t deny report after report has stated that gun crime has gone up even with ever stricter anti gun laws.
Whether gun laws are stricter or more liberal there will always be crime but if gun laws more liberal then innocent people will be able to adequately defend themselves against criminals because whether or not guns are illegal criminals don’t obey the law hence that’s why they’re criminals duh!
Wow managed to get thorough that rant without saying that its people that kill people not guns. Well it’s the truth because here’s a fact an undisputed historical fact….people were killing people before the first gun was invented. Here’s another undisputed fact people don’t need a gun to kill one another. Yeah sure somebody has killed another with use of a soft toy…jeez better ban soft toys.
What the most hypocritical thing about the gun issue in Britain is that these New Labour fuckers say guns are evil but they don’t mind using them in Iraq. Yes the government is all in favour of using guns when it suits their own ends & it should be noted they use them criminally such as Iraq.
Its like vegetarians in favour of abortion.
