I know my own country's history; you would be unwise to challenge me on that aspect.

Oh the reason why the left wants you disarmed is very simple - it's more to do with the idea of individuals fending for themselves, at least in terms of self-defence. In case you hadn't noticed, the left wingers are ALWAYS against people fending for themselves, unless of course they're rich and white and been taxed to death.

One sniper was able to spread terror among innocent civilians. It is hard to imagine that paradigm working in relation to the government.

Well you probably have no interest in the area of the history of British rights in the area of keeping and bearing arms

As far as Britain being short of evrything before in 1940 ( due mainly to the German submarine warfare ) that has nothing to do why private citizens needed donations from Americans in the way of firearms. It was because they didn't have them to begin with
