More proof of how well the UK’s gun ban is working to decrease violent assaults...

Coming soon to a country near us. If something tough isn’t done in the meantime.

Well at least it wasn’t a gun.

Or a knife...

They will - they will ban knives...

It could certainly happen anywhere, including here in the USA.  The Niquab not only covers the entire face apart from the eyes which prevents identification, but the rest of the outfit provides concealment opportunities for anything up to and including a rocket launcher.  It also provides a social "leave me alone" barrier, in that anyone, particularly a law officer, who dares to stop and question someone in such garb is instantly in danger of being labeled a 'racist' and having his / her career destroyed as a result.

I suppose it's time to buy stock in companies which make niquabs, as they are destined to become the next hot item for criminals of all stripes.

"sigh"

In the Crusades, didn’t the crusaders have broadswords and shields? Maybe the UK should bring back a little bit of it for these boys to defend themselves.

It already did in Philadelphia about a month or so ago: Three men donned Muslim women's clothing to rob a bank: Click here.

I think self-defense is illegal in England isn’t it?

Visually it would be quite appealing, but I would prefer for our British Friends to have the same gun ownership and carry rights that we do.
