I am not a gun owner...unless the gun is made of pixels, then I am ultimately not a fan. I prefer swords..however, I do understand the enjoyment of gun ownership (I once owned a BB Gun, I was a mightly slayer of tin cans).
In the UK, you can own a shotgun if your a farmer...otherwise, nope...no collections, no handguns, etc...hell, even the average cop is left with little more than a billy club and a array of sarcastic remarks to stop crime.
This point can be argued either way...sure, murder and other violent crimes are far less than america, however percentagewise, the english have to deal with more burglery and other "minor" crimes.
Tradeoff? debateable..but its a difference that some would consider unacceptable (hold dead hands and whatnot).
And they are going to be in poor shape for the coming zombie apocolypse

Yep that is one pro of America, having a gun or a sword and your free to walk around with it on you, if I'm wrong then it just says that people have some shadow issues. (Shadow being their fear, everyone has it, just facing it is the hardest thing anyone can do.)
One thing: The English have it all over us with language. We took it, and we ruined it.

Oh mighty slayer of tin cans, with every post you garner more awe from me. LOL.
Heres one for you:
Language, I know theoretically we speak the same language but really do we?
US: Toilet UK: Loo
US: cigarette UK: fag
US: Call me. UK: ring me up.
US: come over to my place. UK: Knock me up. ( US has whole other meaning for that one dear brits)
US: Take a vacation UK : Go on holiday.

Oh beautiful
for spacious skies
for amber waves of grain
for purple mountains majesty
above the fruited plains
America, America, God shed his grace on thee
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea
That pretty much says it all.

Really? Oh well.
I think my point was that English is not my language. I apparently speak American.
Oh and" u was" ? From your post.. Or perhaps it should be "you were"... That's proper english laddy.
