CoryKS,

That would be nice. Kind of like a can of whup-***. Just pop the top and let the action begin.

But in actually, you are your own protection. Society mealy protects itself in general. The function of police is to keep order in society. It is NOT to protect anyone individual (unless you are a politician, and even then it's to protect the office, not the person.)

Agreed, and that was the point of my post. If you have to rely only on the police for self-defense, then the only place you will be safe is wherever a police officer happens to be standing. If that's the case, I want him standing in a glass case by my front door.

Have you ever considered a career in stand up? You constantly crack me up! ROFLMAO

Nope, I'm what you'd call an Internet Funny Guy. Oh, I talk a good game hiding behind my keyboard, but in person? My timing's crap.

Its a bloody shame the cops arent here to protect us......what exactly are they here for? to prevent crime? Oh yeah a person threatens you and they dont do jack. or they harrass you and they dont do jack. but when your laying face down dieing then they come in. Or when your family is being plagued by someone and you feel in yourself you have no choice but to take the law into your own hands THEN they show up. And act self rightious and then you have to put up iwth some self rightious lawyer...........the lawyers are all the same............they dont care if your actually innocent or guilty do they? Half of them dont probably most thats why they get paid so much, even the DA gives poeple breaks one guy is given immunity even though he killed all these people but his boss is a much bigger target............i guess thats justice i uno

Well, they can't be everywhere all the time, but yes, they do come when called. BTW, I find it interesting that you're so new here, you come right to this thread, and start bashing the cops, just like some of the other trolls have. Agenda maybe? Bad run in so now you have to come onto a forum and start bashing? if you're going to post something constructive, fine, but if you're here to do nothing but troll, you'll find that your time here will be short.

No, the right to own a shotgun is given by the police whose oaths are to the Queen not the government.
If we wanted to be armed we can change our government and demand we are armed. If the wish to be armed was universal in the UK how long do you think a government would hold out?

It's a fundamental difference between how Europeans view their citizens and how US governments have always viewed it's citizens........the tools of revolution are inherent in our founding document and clearly stated in our Declaration of Independence.........the United States was a nation founded on the ideal that governments are entirely based on the consent of the governed.

Would tell Washington about that? I think they forgot.

Man, I wish that in the UK we could keep actual weapons in our own home to defend ourselves. Its seen over here as paraphernalia of drug dealing/abusing (in my experience). Gosh, why would a law abiding person want to defend themselves in their own home I wonder?!

In the socialist state of Europe isn't it illegal to own a bladed item wherin the blade has a length in excess of 3''? Or is that just England? Control of the citizenry is easier when it cannot properly fight back.

Really though, not to fire anyone up, I have heard that England has banned any blades in excess of 3", is this true?

Back on point:
In the City of Colorado Springs, as I recall, there was a serial rapist in the early years at or around 2000. He was finally taken down by a woman in her 70's or 80's with a .38 revolver.

Apparently this bandit was targeting much older women and found her. If the story (and my memory) is correct then while he was attempting to enter her home she gave him several warning to leave before even going for her gun.

When she did get it though she apparently put five rounds on .38 Special into him and ended his assaulting career.

More power to her and the lady with the 16 gauge.

Do you have to be so insulting and snide, I don't make comments about America so it would be nice if you could do us the courtesy of being at least equally polite. It's not as though you are even correct about Europe.
When you say 'England' do you mean the UK or just England?
The blades aren't banned you just can't carry in public without a good reason of which there are plenty btw.

I agree forgive me if i sound corny as hell but i remember the movie Death Wish were the people were not allowd to own a gun, and then the star meets a man who says "i dont know anyone who DOESNT own a gun we can still walk through our parks and sleep with out doors unlocked" In death wish 3 the star of deathwish gets a wildey magnum BEAUTIFUL GUN MAN 10 INCH BARREL CAN ADD ON AN 18 INCH BARREL AND A STALK :D
