“Yawn “

Sounds like you don’t care either but here’s the difference between the UK and the US. If that little incident had happened on the street in GA Mr. GG2 would have pulled out the old Springfield .40 cal. Boom boom problem solved. Two dead criminals its a win win for all of society. In the UK those two miscreants are still running around creating havoc and will eventually hurt or kill someone.

The brits gave up their guns and now they are the servants of a totalitarian govt that is selling them down the river to Islam. Sad but true.

They (we) didn't, since few of us had guns in the first place. The right to bear arms implies, ipso facto, the right not to bear arms - and that's a right most Britons have always cheerfully exercised. When handguns first became available in industrial quantities, the state of the nation was such that it would never have occurred to the average citizen that circumstances might arise in which he might need or want a gun: so the culture of gun ownership never became established here. Unless, that is, you were a sportsman or country-dweller needing to control vermin, in which case you had a shotgun or sporting rifle. Those have remained ever since the classes of gun most widely owned here, and they have never been banned.
