Oh quit clouding the issue with facts. The level of violent and street crime in London and other cities has ballooned apparently. And a large number of these scumbags are using firearms to commit crimes. Add to that, many constables are now carrying weapons, or at least special teams are.
An unarmed populace only makes it easier for criminals. Unlike the "idealistic" notion of the failure that is Socialism, the government cannot, will not, and does not protect the individual citizen. And the SCOTUS has even ruled as such in the very recent past.
The Canadian government blames the United States for the influx of weapons. Well then crack down on your borders and shipping, don't bitch. Just as the BATFE needs to crack down on straw purchases and questionable business practices of the less than 1% of firearms dealers that violate the laws.
For those that support the outright banning of firearms, tell me where else those that are innocent and have not committed a crime are barred from the ownership of an item that is legally manufactured?
We have the RIGHT to own firearms in our nation. It is expressly written into our constitution. Many states have taken the steps to further that right by allowing one the express right to self defense.
I will not give up my personal rights easily. I am not a sheep, and I will not rely upon the government to protect me. They cannot, do not, and will not.
