I don't understand why people in the UK are averse to arming the peaceful citizenry. I had my knife taken away during the amnesty when I was emptying my pockets for a metal detector at a museum. The cop confiscating it explained, "You see, this knife could kill someone". I almost blurted out (but stopped myself) "Well yea, that's the point!". So now I'm stuck unarmed in a time and place where violent crime is on the rise, wonderful.

The British sure are turning into a bunch of wussies.

The Muslims must be salviating at the opportunity to take the whole island over.
