But don't hold your breath as the British are quite willing to keep handguns banned as long as it means we can have the unique freedom of an unarmed civil police force who police by consent, not by armed force.

Interesting comment coming from a bloke what lives in a country oozing with CCTV cameras everywhere and speeding cameras out the whazoo. How free do you feel with cameras watching your every move?

Be that as it may, what about axes, especially those buried in the head of a black schoolboy in Birmingham? Have axes been banned in the UK yet? Or are knives still the crusade du jour in Blighty?

Fine thanks as they are only in public places. How do you feel about your govt tapping your private phone with the collusion of your phone company?

No, we're concentrating on the sale of knives with blades over 2.5" to minors currently. That's a really rich criticism from a country with such a nanny state that it actually once banned it's citizens from drinking beer! LOL!
