I mean if the guns are "gone" now, why do they need such a paramilitary police force. Sure, nowdays they will use the war on terrorism as a excuse, but really they just want all the power so people can never challenge them. I understand why people don't challenge the government- it's scary and you will be made the bad guy by the media. Not just that, it's almost a sure trip to the grave if your lucky and prison if you aren't. I prey that bs doesn't happen in the States, but I know what my choice will be if it does- not trying to be a hard dog, but hay somebody has to jump in the fire.  Sorry for your loss of freedom man.  |
This is edging into the realm of real world politics, which is often a hot button issue. Britain has never had the connections to guns that the US does, so the perspective of the average Briton could be vastly different from that of the average American gunowner.
Here are a couple of older threads which are tangentally connected to this one
Privately owned weapons in Europe?
What happened to all those guns?
