"Outlaw guns and only the outlaws will have guns."
That's PRECISELY the situation here in the UK. Law-abiding citizens had their handguns confiscated in 1997 and since then armed crime has almost doubled.



It's hard for me to understand why so many people find this to be a difficult principle to grasp. It's so basic.

The criminals, aka "outlaws", will always have guns. Period.

Why ANY government would want their citizens to to be easy prey for the criminals is a mystery to me.

A couple of years ago, 2 young thugs decided to break in on old woman not far from where I live. They knew she had gotten her welfare check and cashed it.

Easy pickin's for them. They kicked her door in, and she "greeted" them with a 12 gauge pump shotgun. She killed one of them. She wounded the other and he went to prison after he got out of the the hospital.

They were both armed. As most criminals are.

Unfortunately, someone died that day.............................Fortunately, it wasn't the "helpless" old lady.

If she hadn't been able to "respond", she wouldn't have been their last victim.
