    Now THIS is an interesting OP:

    England Used to Be a Country of Men

    [​IMG]

    There are no 'flash mobs' in TX...where you might very well encounter an armed Texan who would not take kindly to being beaten and robbed...

    On that same note, from the OP:

    Too bad most English forgot that lesson.

    If you shot someone for trying to rob your trousers you would not be manly you would be a dickhead, and you would rightly get many years in jail.

    LOL, case in point.

    Yeah, lets not sympathize with the victim...lets sympathize with the criminal. How dare I try to defend myself.

    The U.K. certainly has some problems, but it isn't really related to guns.

    America has far more guns than the U.K., and yet we have more crime in general.

    Meanwhile, a lot of European countries that have strict gun control (like Germany and France) have lower crime rates than the U.K.

    This isn't about guns. This is about poverty.

    Legal guns don't increase or decrease crime.

    But is the robber actually threatening his LIFE? You have to believe your life is in danger to shoot someone, you cant go round blowing the heads off petty criminals.

    I can agree that killing someone for stealing your pants is overboard, but injuring them isn't.

    If someone tried to rob me, I'd most likely shoot them in the leg or stomach if the gun didn't scare them off.

    I'd rather be seen as dickhead by progressive authoritarians than succumb to robbery by an infantile member of the dependent class that has been coddled all his life and promised endless entitlements by those same progressives. Apparently, a dickhead defends his property and his dignity, whereas a craven, servile infant submissively surrenders both to the state. Hurray for dickheads!

    No he is stealing his pants. I guess you would give him yours. Sure you would.

    Who cares if he has a gun. He can fight him. Which will probably be rough and possibly death for one of them. Who cares.

    You do. And you would give him your pants. Good grief. To all you English women out there, you better stay inside. Your going to get no help from the English men.

    Why blow his head off? Shooting him can mean many things. For instance. a blast to the thigh and a kick in the groin should be sufficient to prevent his continuing the assault and robbery.

    Anyway, just the threat of being fired upon is usually enough.

    Its good you would defend yourself. If you pull that gun out, already know you shoot. Don't wait for a response on the intruder. His response may be to jump at you and get the gun. Pull it and shoot.

    Preferably the torso. Stomach is fine.

    Well, I guess I should clarify.

    I don't assume that a gun would scare a criminal who already has a gun of his own on him. Against a criminal with a gun, I would shoot first.

    Against a criminal with a knife, I'd be a little more hesitant to shoot, but I understand that reflexes are important for this sort of thing.

    He might be. Can you predict what the robber is going to do if you do not comply with his demands to be robbed?

    The point is that the robber is the one who is posing the threat. The robber can avoid the threat. He has control over whether or not he is threatened.

    The victim does not.


    If more people did that, there would be fewer petty criminals.

    There has never been a gun culture in Britain. There has never been mass gun ownership in Britain. Owning any kind of firearm has always been a rare event in Britain, therefore your premise of 'disarmament' is fatally flawed from the outset.

    We don't like guns and we don't want them either-if America's embarrassingly woeful record of gun-crime is any example. Keep them, and you're welcome to the stupid, useless things.
    Carry on shooting each other by all means, and please keep telling us it's because your stupid constitution says you're allowed to. We always like a good laugh.

    This riot proves that the people of Great Britain need to rearm themselves and insist that laws and policies that punish them for defending themselves and their property be abolished.
