About all I hear from you is more insults, yet nothing to back up your drivel. Did you forget what your friends said in that video, you know the ones who butchered that innocent Man that day? Here, let me help you out Mr. Proud Englishman.........

The article is about Jews who live in Europe not Jews living in Muslim countries. If people in these European nations are not allowed to carry firearms then the Jews should have to abide by the same laws. Simply saying ok you are of this faith so you are above our laws is moronic.

well explain to us all just how the Islamics have commandeered sections of cities or towns to be exclusicely ruled by Sharia Law with their own Muslim enforcement... i.e. effectively ceding from that nation/county/district the Law-of-the-Land which all other citizens are protected by and have allegiance to...
Sharia ONLY Zones: Are a blatant case of a foreign faith removing the sovereign powers of that host nations Laws & society framework

having the most likely targeted and chosen victims being prepared for that renegade zealot with a hatchet shouting Akbar something without handy, moderately priced protection is uncivilized too

The whole idea behind this thread was to address one segment, an incredibly small one, from being able to carry weapons for self protection, as opposed to the wider community. Sadly it seems to have been turned into "Brits live in fear and have no rights" mud-fest from across the pond where, if we believe some of these comments, everyone is armed and alert, vigilant and gung-ho and ready to fight off the Muslim hordes ready to descend on them at any moment (according to their best friend Mr. Nutty-yahoo, that nice Jewish Gentleman from the only democracy in the Middle East).

Well that is great that you enjoy being a slave, that is your business. I understand misery loves company, but that company does not always return the affection. Don't like it, too bad because you don't write the Laws over here thank god. ~$heopleNation

No you just have maniacs running innocent and defenseless people over, and then butchering them to death in broad daylight. Sounds very peaceful.

Lee Rigbys murder was a one off case with a pair of psychologically damaged individuals, one of them being a prime candidate for intelligence services to approach with a job offer, after he had been tortured in Africa. Apparently he refused, apparently.
You end up having psychopathic individuals on the streets when government cuts to mental health care budgets mean the services are overstretched and cannot cope.
It has nothing to do with guns. And given that environment, do you really want to add a plethora of hardware with which they can carry out their unmedicated delusions with?
Nowhere is perfect. Thats why we need to be vigilant, and protect our freedoms earned in blood, long before we ever need to start shooting bullets and killing each other. After 12,000 years of "civilisation" you would think we might have figured that out. WW2 was supposed to be the war to end all war, thats why we have the "United" Nations.
Didnt work though did it?
You cant really put a whole bunch of dictators, gangsters and pathological liars into a big pot and expect anything good to ever come out of it.

Correction - we just have maniacs running an innocent and defenceless person over, and then butchering them to death in broad daylight.
One person.
Out of 65 million.
Whereas in the good ol' USA, you had 283 incidents of "mass shootings" (where more than 2 people were attacked by a "maniac" with a gun) resulting in hundreds of dead and wounded....
And this doesn't even include those shot dead by the Police.
People in glass houses and all that....

Hey it's the Proud Englishman! Yeah? Well I highly doubt that is the only incident ever to occur. Come on now.

Obviously you missed the part where I said that America is not perfect? Nobody is suggesting that we do not have problems with violence. The discussion is whether private gun ownership helps or makes it worse, Which is related to the subject of the thread. ~$heopleNation

There really has been enough killing and a global financial meltdown and subsequent revolution is the chaos that will be the birth pangs of a globalist dictatorship from which there is no return. The phoenix shall rise out of the ashes. A phoenix so powerful and tyrannical, these petty arguments about whose a slave will be an embarrassment to the meaning of the word.
The fact is, we are not that different after all.
But when I look at the USA and I see its armed population and then I see the atrocities that are going on and I look at the citizens with their guns and their right to defend from tyranny, while at the same time tyranny incrementally subdues them, then I look at them with their guns and wonder why the hell they keep them when the tyranny that the guns are supposed to protect from is taking over the country.
It doesnt make sense.
Is gun ownership simply to defend ones own property and ones own selfish interests?
Or is it to defend the nation from enemies BOTH foreign and DOMESTIC. Whats up with that?
Where were all the defenders of freedom when posse comitatus was suspended?

In terms of Islamist extremists (in keeping with the thread topic), yes, it is the only example.
Well, apparently, it makes it worse. Your murder rate is 4 times ours.

Well I will have to look into that before I respond further.

Well mathematically concerning our population numbers when compared to yours, I should hope so. However the truth of the matter is that over here in the States, The criminals will always have access to firearms. ~$heopleNation

I think it's pretty pathetic that you wimps don't even allow your own Soldiers to be armed in the streets. Instead they are just left as sitting ducks to be hacked up by extremists. What a brilliant strategy for survival you English have.

No, population has nothing to do with it.
As I said earlier in the thread, stats are done on a per 100,000 head of population. The UK has a 1 murder for every 100k people, the USA has 4 per 100k.

Err, exactly - aren't you making the argument for the pro-gun control people?
Take the guns away and the criminals find it harder to buy guns so less people get shot and killed.
Personally, I think its far too late to implement gun control laws in the USA similar to those in Europe - gun ownership is engrained in the American psyche.
But surely you recognise that what you have at present simply isn't working?
Murder rate nearly 5 times that of the UK and far higher than all western European countries - that is a damning indictment of the US.
Secondly, we most definitely are not a nation of 'wimps', not by any stretch.
We don't want similar gun laws as you,
you don't want similar one's to us - I get that.
Why keep trying to turn as many UK related threads into one's surrounding gun control etc?
