I am really not trying to be rude but your post made absolutely no sense I am still trying to figure out what you meant lol The way this lady was treated has nothing to do with the UK so why the comparison? People dont understand the concept of Americans being allowed to own firearms, that is what this clip is about.
The lady was taken down by 2-4 full grown men who were coming after her to take away her legally owned firearm in her HOME.
Peoples rights were violated all over Louisiana by whichever Govt official ordered this to be done.
In some cases, Civilian Mercenaries from Blackwater Security, illegally entered citizens homes and stole their firearms. (there is a class action suit going on right now about this)
Like someone mentioned in another thread, they did not even attempt to do this in Texas after Rita hit. I do not think it would have gone as smoothly in Texas as it did in NOLA.
Anyway, stay on topic please, we are not discussing UK's gun laws.

The old lady is about40 - 60 seconds of that film.

The funniest thing is the last bloke "duh wot you gonna do when they got automatic rifles pointed at you, THEY WERN'T PLAYING! they had them up to their shoulders an everything!"

Look, in the UK barely ANY one is 'allowed' to carry firearms, that is the way we all like it, who's gonna invade like the 'good 'ol days?'

Guns breed guns. Long history should of tought you that. We need to lay our hands on weapons, they are there.

God bless America (god knows you need it!)

yes.....u see in Switzerland (i dont noe if its still like this, but it sure as hell used to be) every male at the age of 18 HAD TO JOIN THE MILITARY FOR ONE YEAR, and when they got out, it was the law for them to keep their rifles for life, so that in case of an invasion, the whole country would be safe....and to this day switzerland has kept the most peace domestically......since everyone has a gun and they noe how to use it, there will be no violent outbreaks; but no in america the govt says "fewer guns keeps crime off th streets, and keeps children safer" which is total bs.......

The difference between a police/military control is... When marshal law is enacted the controling force, being the military in this country will alow the citizens to bear arms. This is due to the fact that unlike the police they have to respect the constitution. If they dont it brings very harsh penalties. In a case of marshal law the military would most likely "arrest" police trying to take a citizens firearm. This is due to the fact that they have to and swore to protect the citizens and their rights. The people would keep their firearms for personal defence durring a time like this. The last big reason of this is because the Military uses COMMON F-ing sense. In a time like that crime will be very high not to mention animals running around. There will be racoons possems and also dogs or what have you. Due to this a firearm is the most effective way to protect yourself and your family.
Think of it this way very simply if you ban guns criminals will still have them.

I have to disagree that all cops are scum (my dad is a part timer and has to be one of the most fair and understanding people I know), but I do agree that all they do is hassle people nowadays... Just the other night, my mates and I were having a fire after prom. This was a small fire, contained in a fire pit. It was attended at all times, and we had buckets of water at the ready if anything went wrong. A cruiser pulled up into the driveway and a huge spotlight showed across the yard. An officer walks over and shines a flashlight in our faces. Now, I understand that it was prom night and kids were drunk everywhere, but this was ridiculous. We weren't being loud or anything. He was a little peeved that he couldn't nab us for anything, so he made us put the fire out claiming that there was an ordinance prohibiting fires after 1:00 AM.

If you ask me, that is ridiculous. Cops have completely overstepped their bounds. They're there to keep the peace and make sure nobody gets hurt. If someone blatantly wrongs someone else or doing something harmful to others, then by all means they should step in, but the amount of power they have now is out of hand, at least in my opinion.

Your Vlog link is no longer working (page error for me at least), are there any alternate sites hosting this video? I'd like to watch it.
