The U.K. is now set to ban imitation swords. How far will U.K. subjects allow this to go? Will sharp pointy sticks be next? I have many friends in the U.K. and I can promise that discontent is running high. They are polite about their discontent (they’re British after all) but they are unhappy. Crime rate keeps going higher, with no end in sight and the honest subjects have no means to defend themselves.
I’ve been over this and similar topics many times with my brothers from ol’ blighty. One of my British friends kept telling me about how their cops didn’t carry guns. But on my last visit I kept pointing out to him all the cops that were armed, auto MP5’s, H&K’s, and Glocks. The cops here in the U.S. don’t even carry automatic weapons. Apparently this was a shock to him (and others), seems the national myth of unarmed Bobbies is strong. Now in the U.K. everyone is armed except those who need to be.
