Many it this thread seem to be more interested in deriding Americans than asking legitimate questions.

The bigmouthes are never the one I trust and the frightened ones are rather those I would feel I have to protect.

OK nobody has any questions so it is time for me to chime in.
You folks in the UK are like sheep waiting for slaughter. Hell, when I realized the general consensus on gun control laws, I thought of invading you myself. Hell I think maybe a small guerrilla group of 200 men could take the whole country in a matter of weeks. Thats just me though and Im really not preparing to invade the UK BTW as tempting as that sounds.

If it really gets serious and people are needed to defend the country I surely would not rely on those cowards who think they need a gun to defend themselves.
That argument is the stupidest of all.

When the Brits tried to suppress the Americans during the Revolutionary war there was guerrilla warfare. The generals themselves acknowledged they had no way to defend against it, because they could not anticipate or track their movements. It was spontaneous warfare. It was unpredictable.
I have never thought of it this way, but I think you are on to something. Those that live in such fear that they feel naked without a gun, are probably not the ones who are going to stand in the line of fire when SHTF, they will be off somewhere cowering, waiting to use the gun on someone who might happen (innocently or not) upon them.

The will of the military is not that of the President.

Thanks for the reply, I thought youd forgot/ignored me
I agree but I imagine criminals by the time you are aware they are criminals would have you in a position where to pull out a gun would endanger your life.
Can I ask why you dont have or want a gun?
