"trying to make America more like Britain when it comes to gun violence issues"
We’re gonna let our soldiers and cops get their heads chopped off by machetes and axes?
No thanky.
Not gonna happen.
Stab an infidel today!
I am an American not British and not a Barbarian. If I wanted to be like the British or Muslims I would move there.
America LOVE it or LEAVE IT
The British or Muslims should consider themselves very lucky if they don’t get the crap beat out of them by the London taxi drivers.
Yeah so how is that working out; also in Australia where some politico says it has failed since crooks are still armed. Now how did that happen?
...trying to make America more like Britain when it comes to gun violence issues”...
King George III tried to make the Colonies more like Britain regarding guns. Didn’t work out so well...
Haven’t stabbings and clubbing gone up exponentially?
There’s an English show called Caught on Camera (Netflix) that shows thugs at work. England has one camera for every ten Brits.
Their criminals usually use knives and machetes, and the occasional gun, and they have more crime than they will admit.
“An armed society is a polite society.” Robert Heinlein
...Haven’t stabbings and clubbing gone up exponentially?....
Even though still legal, English police teamed up with, who else, but liberal activists for a program called, “Save a life. Turn in your knife.”
Heh. I correctly recalled that this was from BEYOND THIS HORIZON, but incorrectly surmised that I could easily browse the quotation. I was looking at the beginning, where the restaurant gunplay ensues, along with some explanatory passages about the "brassard" that made me feel I was close.
... not so! I had to "look it up on the internet," and it comes near the end in Chapter 15 in one of Heinlein's patented discursions.
It would be a disaster to make America more like Britain in any way at all.
