So many killed because the cops didn’t feel “safe”
Britain is lost.

Scottish law is not the U.S. Constitution. Neither is Smithsonian Magazine.
We should avoid confusing those facts.
Another reason we booted them out of here back in the late 1700’s. UK is NOT the USA.
The uk has no constitutional amendment process. Nothing that guarantees or protects freedom or limits government taking away rights of law abiding folks.
They can change laws on any particular whim or emotion at the drop of a hat. Freedom gone in an instant on hyped-up feelings.
Isn’t this the country that allows rape gangs to operate freely?
“So we should do the same here”
Right on cue.
What other countries do is irrelevant. They have us to protect them from really bad totalitarians. We have no one but ourselves and the 2nd Amendment protects us. In reality, the 2nd Amendment protects the whole world.
Britain prided itself on having an armed citizenry since the Middle Ages.
But after the first World War they began to register all guns claiming it was to “prevent Crime.” Actually it was a fear of RED Communism that they did this.
By the time of WW II British citizens were very disarmed. Then after the disaster at Dunkirk, the British forces fled back to England leaving all their military equipment behind.(Sound familiar?)
Britain was now wide open to invaders, so the came to the US and groveled before their armed Americans and begged...”PLEASE SEND A GUN TO DEFEND A BRITISH HOME!”
And American citizens sent plenty.

Then Britain again allowed the citizens to own rifles until Dunblane.
Now they have disarmed themselves again. Let’s not do like Britain. We may have crime but no foreign nation has tried invasion yet, except for the Southern Border which BIDEN has purposely left wide open.
You know what irritates me about these kinds of stories? It is this. In America, there are two kinds of black people. There are black people and then there are the ones whose name we dare not speak. In Europe, they mostly have black people, and the same in Australia and New Zealand. In those countries, the black people speak the language of the country and in their accent. Those black people mostly act like normal people, and the white folks there have little or no conception about the other kind. So there is little basis for racism to ever develop.
But in America, most of our blacks are either of the “feral sociopath” persuasion, or have a tendency toward that kind of behavior. (See Taleeb Starkes’ book - The Uncivil War.)So we face a completely different problem, one which is only now beginning to develop in Europe, as they get their own horribly behaving minority groups.
What we face in America is worse than our ancestors faced from the Hostile Indians. At least then as we cleared a territory or area, the problem moved westward. But our current Hostile Ethnic Groups are all over the place - in every city. They riot, they smash and grab, they invade homes, they carjack vehicles, they rob and steal and they attack people - all of which this behavior can not be tied to them as an ethnic group for fear of being called a racist.
We do not have a Gun Epidemic. We have a Word We Dare Not Mention Epidemic. And it has become so bad, that decent black families are leaving cities where their families have lived for generations. (See for example: https://news.stlpublicradio.org/race-identity-faith/2021-12-16/black-families-in-st-louis-are-leaving-in-droves-whats-causing-the-mass-exodus)
I know a black German health care worker who frankly told me that she had nothing in common with most American blacks. And father was in Germany, or maybe grandfather, I forget which, lived in Germany during the Hitler years. Anyway, she has been here for years, and married an American black man early after she got here, but left him and does not date American blacks anymore. I had another client from outside the U.S. who came to America, and at first, complained about the average white Southern attitude toward blacks. Which, is first to try figure out which type of black person they are. If their britches are sagging, then they probably belong in the bad group. After a few months of dealing with blacks, those white folks had a whole ‘nother attitude about the issue.
So this is why I hate these European vs American stories vis a vis guns and race. Let some of these European pilgrims move to a big city, to non-gated community or building, and then see how long it is before they start arming themselves.
U.K.’s annual rate of gun deaths per 100,000 people was 0.2 in 2015, versus the United States’ rate of 12.09. In 2017, the site estimates, the U.K. had 5.03 guns for every 100 people. Comparatively, the U.S. had 120.5 guns per 100 people.If the Brits have figured out gun violence, then let's test it out by seeing what happens when we ship our young urban gangsters to them.
