I will never understand why you let them disarm you.

Early in WW2, when Britain needed home defense weapons, my grandfather, born in Nutsford but migrated here at 18 or 19, packed up his personal rifle to be sent to Britain.

All those guns were destroyed after the war, it is insane.

I've got relatives in Nutsford but I know nothing about them. The name would be Pepper.

There are nearly two million and rising, licensed guns in the UK.

You can get them if you want them.

There is unlimited wealth, land, oil, and resources for them in the Middle East.

Allow them to leave peacefully and humanely, and resettle in Islamic lands.

End Islam in Europe and the West.

End it.

“Just Do It”

1—As a gun owner, I agree the various acts that outlawed some guns in the UK were wrong. Although I supported the 1988 act banning assault weapons. No real gun owner here owned one, and those that did were Rambo wannabes.

2—The British public it has to be said have never been gun owners. So the idea we were disarmed en masse is a misnomer. The biggest number of guns in the UK was 1.6m in 1996 out of 60m people. As bad as the laws were, THATS why the laws passed with little public argument.

3—It is a myth, or at least part-myth, that ww2 US weapons were destroyed. Info IS sketchy, but the evidence does suggest that most of the weapons, if not the vast majority, were simply melted down in 1940-41 for use in making munitions, tanks, planes etc.
