It"s OK for you people in the USA, as you can pick up a rifle or a shotgun , as a human right, from almost anywhere, but we are completely oppressed in Britain, and nobody, and I mean NOBODY,gets to own a shotgun, or ( even less likely ) a rifle, as it is illegal here to defend yourself against an attack by an aggressor ( In case you hurt or injure them ,thus infringing their "human rights " ).Crossbows and longbows are out of the question also, for the same reason---in fact, they are also banned, as are Bowie-knives and even baseball bats !!! YES folks, you can be arrested and jailed in Britain for having a BASEBALL-BAT in your car, in case of attack by muggers or hijackers, as it would be a serious crime to hurt them in ANY way !! Can you believe that ?? It"s TRUE !! In fact, if my girlfriend is caught with a pair of scissors , a pointed comb, or,God forbid, a pocket knife ,in her handbag, she goes on trial for being in possession of an Offensive Weapon !! Really !! So the only thing we can hope to do is to attach a kitchen knife to a broomstick with sticky-tape or string, and hope that our attacker has a heart-attack , or trips over his shoe-laces, as he rushes at us !! So there is no point in getting in "emergency supplies" in Great Britain, because we would not be allowed, by law, to prevent anyone else from stealing them from us !! If we WERE foolish enough to hurt someone who attacked us,or our loved ones, then we would immediately be arrested or shot by any Police or Army personnel who were still in control . THAT"S what it"s like to live in modern Britain, under Tony Blair and his crooks !! Shit, isn"t it ?? Why on earth do we put up with it ?? Enjoy your freedom, America------We who have none, salute you !!
