By the way, it is interesting that they going after middle-aged white guys- how about some of their violent ethnic gangs (which abound in Britain now)? Oh, I forgot- you could get hurt by those people- best to leave them be...
For a handgun, that is one trip to a range.
I am VERY glad I do not live in Great(?) Britain!
That all depends on what kind of "futures" the tyrannical vampires who try to implement such a treasonous scheme will face.
I'll venture to guess that they will, once all is said and done, fare no better than King George III or Santa Anna did.
And that's a best-case (from the viewpoint of the tyrants) scenario.
LOL! A lot of us would be in that boat.
At least the tyrannical Brits can't do that here.
That issue was settled at Yorktown, and tyrant-wanna-bees would do well to learn from that lesson.
Very impressive story. Two terrible criminal teachers were arrested and their firearms confiscated. Oh the horror. While the police were wasting time bothering two teachers that committed no offense against any person, armed CRIMINALS are walking the streets and committing crimes against disarmed subjects of the crown. You people have your priorities all screwed up. The government is busy disarming the good people while the criminals are busy on the streets. Most of the people in my little town own and carry loaded firearms. Our violent crime rate is 56% below the national average in the USA. Armed criminals do not dare walk our streets. They prefer big cities like Washington, D.C. and Chicago, IL where guns are forbidden to citizens and murder rates are astronomical. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Your country is a living example.
I don't think so. When you only have 4.3 million in the NRA and maybe another million in all of the gun groups combined, why should I think the 95% of the gun owners will do something when it's death defying and they won't do something now when it's easy.
"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Winston Churchill
Same here. This article shows what happens when a government views it's citizens as "subjects" instead of "Free men and women".
This is truly Orwellian. The British authorities go after these poor schmucks and are doubtless going to lock them up forever and ever, just like they locked up that unfortunate farmer who was convicted of defending his life and property from psycho young criminals last year. But the monsters are out there roaming the streets and plotting the destruction of the West, and the Brits leave them alone. We are watching the suicide of a once-glorious nation, folks.
