The citizens of the UK should have their right to bear arms returned to them it was only taken away in 1920 it is not and never has been the responsibility of the police to protect you from violent crime.
What you dont agree with the above go and try and find where it says it is up to the police to protect you from violent crime,can you sue the police if they fail to do so? no you can not.
The UK public has been encouraged by the Goverment and media propaganda to “feel” safe while at the same time the Uk has degenerated to the point where it has the highest rates of violent crime in western europe.
The recent high profile examples of Derrick Bird and Raoul Moat being able to roam around killing UNARMED people is a good example of what happens when you disarm the law abiding citizens only the criminals and crazies are left, you can never prevent people from arming themselves if they want to the whole “ban” on carrying weapons is only a ban on the law abiding, obviously the government knows this so ask yourself what are the real reasons for the UK to disarm its citizens?
