So...We're bad guys for trying to stop people killing each other?
Let the facts speak for themselves. In the US roughly 1 person in 25,000 gets killed with a gun. Compare that with the UK where its only 1 in 800,000! I know you guys love your guns, but the vast majority of people in the UK are happy with our gun laws.
notice how all of them were shavs if you could get rid of uneducated morons then therewouldent be so much crime fullstop. bring mandatory military service and i believe people would be less lazy and more educated more trustworthy and would know and their country more! any one else agree?
In 2009 there were 42 gun deaths in the entire UK (population 65 million). In the same year there were 35,000+ gun deaths in the USA including 3500 children. So clearly gun control is working and if it was not for other nations allowing firearms we would not have any illegal guns getting over our boarders.
I thought guns are ALREADY BANNED in the UK. How come that so many criminals have them? Doesn't that mean that they disarmed only the law abiding citizens ?
@jerseyemt I hear ya man. And I 100% agree. They can take away 100% of the guns that are legally bought in the country with a law that is active, but they can never take away 100% of the guns that are bought in illegally, in secret, or to those that hide them. Therefore, those who want to do good and be law abiding citizens have close to no chance in a serious combat with someone who is armed with a gun and you with something less of a defense.
@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z Good comment. Although I fear a lot of the people reading it might not be educated enough to understand its powerful meaning - which is very sad to say the least.
@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z School... Mainstream media... its all the same, thats why the internet has bread a new generation of thinkers, people that want to know the truth, not the crap they want you to believe. Its only a matter of time before that ends up being filtered though. If you have not done so already check out "Zeitgeist"
>> Of the 9650 firarms offenses how many of them resulted in a fatal shooting, as a firearms offence can be have an air rifle in a public place without a good reason.
Forget air rifles, many of the toy guns (which didn't even fire any sort or projectile) would now be illegal to possess in public - most would be considered "imitation firearms", some would even be "realistic imitation firearms". Both are firearms offences, the latter would land you in almost as much trouble as a real loaded gun.
gives all the misconceptions. "SO MANY GUN CRIMES!!!!" WOW and all the crimes they show in the video are shootings. So people get the idea that huge number of "firearms offenses" are all murders with guns. Ridiculous
Guns are so rare in the UK that the producers of this video could not even find enough to use for props ! Unless this is really an anti replicant bio-robot with bullets shooting out the end of there back-up Vag digits? Because who wants legions of hoodie wearing robots with smelly gun fingers roaming about?
Actually, it proves the point that guns should be legal... Since guns are illegal there the bad guys in the video were virtually guaranteed that their victims could not fight back nor could anyone else intervene. Criminals like weak victims.
@170adamb Because the government links guns with criminals... which is technically correct since guns ARE illegal in Britain... but they shouldn't be. I've been around guns all my life and I don't even KNOW anyone who has ever been hurt by one, much less killed by one.
@170adamb People will have a problem with the fact that you statements are factually incorrect!
"Guns are already illegal in Britain and have been for a very long time" is wrong. Certain types of firarms are illegal namley handguns and full auto firearms.
@170adamb You numpty! I am English, living in the UK! Your aim to encourage people to report illegal activity involving guns is lordable. BUT if you can't even get your basic facts right as to which firearms are legal or not do the public a favour and DON'T spread misinformation!
@170adamb I too am not a layer. Having liturally spent just 5 minutes I have been able to find out what guns were banned under the '88 ban and also that the Bill of Rights 1689 allowed "reestablished the liberty of Protestants to have arms for their defence within the rule of law" so we did have the right to be armed (I did not know this till now). Prior to 1988 the only restriction was on ownership of Fully Automatic Firarms. The 88 ban only outlawed self loading or pump action rifles.
@170adamb I am glad that you have been willing to listen to facts and I hope others will to!
I would not agree that we have been disarmed in this country but through the spreading of misinformation, paranoia and lies coupled with past generations of politicians making knee jerk reactions to gun headlines we are well on the way to it!
@170adamb Maybe not in total numbers but by percentage, probably pretty close. And just because you can't carry them, doesn't mean that criminals will listen. Gun control laws only help criminals, disarms their victims makes it easier for them to commit crimes. And the UK's gun crime numbers have actually risen steadily each year since those bans were put into effect.
Petitions for UK citizens who support the following,
PETITION TO REPEAL THE 1997 AND 1988 FIREARMS ACTS.
We, the undersigned, petition the UK government to repeal both the 1997 and 1988 Firearms Acts. We believe that law-abiding people should be allowed to own handguns as well as other firearms prohibited under these laws, should they wish to do so.
@MikeAlexanderNewell hear hear my English brother. but in major things like this, you cant be nice. be firm and dont give anymore ground. you tell them you WANT those firearms for lawful purposes, because they unlawfully confiscated them.
@TheWhoaDude no. do NOT say that. you will screw up the chances of england ever rearming. i agree with you but dont say it, not until they do have the weapons back so they can fight back against the government.
Damaged-brain people thought out this video. In real live all is exactly inverted: nobody will try to grab your bicycle is you fave a gun...
Let's see the recent incident in Sagra village, Russia: 60! men with guns, rifles, knifes and bats on 15 cars came to terror local people because they turned out drag-dealer from their village. And 9 (9 vs 60) local men with only 3 rifles won!
-
Can you imagine this: 9 men with 3 rifles stopped 60 armed gangsters!
One hell of a good video to promote CCW for Britain citizens. This was made by Britain's pro-firearms community right? All those helpless dead citizens...no cops in sight to help them..... no means of self defense...... this video screams for citizens rights to liberty and self defense.
Of the 9650 firarms offenses how many of them resulted in a fatal shooting, as a firearms offence can be have an air rifle in a public place without a good reason.
Also all the gun portray in this clip are already illegal in the UK, so why would these criminals obay any more laws? Before you peddle the argument that a minority cant be trusted with them so we should ban them, think of the CAR. Idiot misuse them every day yet we do not ban them!
@Jordon590 So your saying if you had a gun you would kill someone with it? No. Guns were invented to PROTECT people and get you food. Look at the history of disarmed nations, you think the Jews WANTED to be disarmed by Germany in WW2?
@Jordon590 Thats what people thought in the '30s before everything changed in their "happy world". I suggest you read mein kampf Hitler talks about this type of thing.
As far back as history goes there has never been a time, that this world is at peace and without at least 1 nation that is subjected to tyranny
The 1940s was not that long ago, in years to come people will say the same about us
You think we are the lucky people who were born just after this stuff stopped? no, nothing has changed
@Jordon590 Incorrect. Firearms have only one purpose -- to propel a projectile (or projectiles, in shotguns for example) at high speeds on a (fairly) straight trajectory.
@Jordon590 While a projectile fired at high speeds certainly could kill, my point was that firearms are not solely designed to kill. Firearms have many uses, most of which do not involve injuring or killing people.
You can win an Olympic gold medal shooting a rifle, a shotgun, and even a handgun.
So, the only purpose a firearm has is to fire a projectile at very high speeds. It is what is done with this projectile that is good, neutral, or evil. Guns are not the problem; criminals are.
@Jordon590 i have 12 guns of my own, i fire projectiles at high speed for fun, usually at 2 liters or old fruit, paper targets, or the dirt, if firing projectiles at high speeds is for the sole purpose of killing, i have fired close to 15,000 defective high speed projectiles.
@mutdog951come back and talk to me after your 8 year old child has been shot at close range with hollowpoints by a mass murdering pedophile. What you americans forget that the reason this came about was because of a massacre in scotland were 14 children all under 10 were shot with a handgun.
The U.K. is nothing more than a nation of subjects now. They gave up their guns, now they are subjects to their government. They lost their freedoms, do we in the U.S. want to become subjects like the people of U.K. and Australia. I think "NOT"....
Wow. It was interesting. The whole time I saw that, it made me sad. But 100% honestly, I didn't even think of the gun as being bad. Its just the screwed up things in the world that happen. "Getting a gun can be childs play". Awesome! If you teach them how to properly use a gun when their little, but old enough to properly and safely handle a weapon, then great! Just like WWIIairsoftColorado story, use a gun to defend yourself and others who need it. I do feel sorry that a country is deprived.
@forGodandCountry7 My thoughts when the video stated that "getting a gun is now child's play" is that it is proof that the gun laws are obviously not working. Despite the claims that the severe restrictions on firearms would reduce crime in the UK, crime rates have increased.
Ineffective laws (especially ones that produce the exact opposite of the desired effects) must be repealed. People in the UK will hopefully soon figure out that guns have no inherent good nor evil.
what a brainwasher commercial! even stalin did not brainwashed people as bad as this commercial... same as my fat ass neighbor blaming the fork because he is fat...
PEOPLE...DO NOT FORGET..THE reason people have the right to bear arms is to ensure the peoples right to overthrow the government should WE THE PEOPLE DEEM NECESSARY. DO NOT LET THEM TEACH YOU IT IS FOR ANYTHING ELSE!!!
The Anti Gun crowd in Britain said making guns illegal would lower crime and make society safer. They did'nt figure that CRIMINALS would not give up their guns.Crime is up 500% in Britain since the bans.
@fullmoondrivein where are you getting these figures? There are guns in every country in the world, banned or not and criminals using them, banned or not.
It is more disturbing that british police aren't responsible for the bullets shot from their guns in an accidental shooting. James Ashley was shot by sussex police while naked and unarmed, jean charles de menze was suspected to be a terrorist, police open fired and shot him in the head then discover he was not. Neither was the officer identified or charged with illegal deadly force.
knives have become popular with murderers, they should ban knives hammer and scissors too. Bobbies should have the right to frisk anyone on the street, if they carry anything sharp be arrested and sent to jail. This is what david cameron implied when he gave his inverview to the sun stating "current policy, which involves an automatic presumption that people carrying knives will be prosecuted, did not go far enough.”
The only (proven) way to rid a society of guns is totalitarianism like soviet russia with death penalty for gun possession. Britain seems to be heading that way with camera all over london and laws for creating future national DNA registry. The next law will be illegalization of individual thinking, and computer chip planted in each citizen reminding them of queen and country. (Sarcasm"
@jh19811215 Britain, already incarcirates people for what they might do, 60+ people were in jail the day of the royal wedding for what they might do, preprotestors, so to speak
This video is loaded with psudo reasoning. A criminal who has no concern of human life will have no problem getting an illegal firearm to continue his violence. He is guaranteed to find victims who are unarmed citizen to rape kill and pillage. Who is there to stop them billy club holding officers?
im surpised that people england own guns. i thought that everyone that wanted liberty and real freedom came to america. But shoot outs like that dont happen in america, we have drive bys like in atlanta that is one bad city
i cant tell whether this advert is pro or anti gun???! ... this simply shows the civilians are defenceless against criminals .... surely this must be a pro gun advert ... either way it had the wrong effect on me.
Even though crime statistics are irrelevant to whether a person has a fundamental right to self-preservation, make no mistake, Britain has an appallingly high violent crime rate.
If most of them had a "hand"gun to defend themselves, I think the criminal would think twice about it. Lets face it most of them are looking for a quick steal and rather not face resistance in the form of a law-abiding citizen properly trained with his CCW. Britain was once a great nation and now its been wussified.....
guns = death. Guns should have never been created. Firearms fine for the damn USA a nation with the Columbine shooting, and other gun related incidents. When every year USA has above 10,000 gun related deaths. Where as Canada has less than 1000
The gun crimes in the USA were committed by CRIMINALS, get it? Not law abiding American citizens protecting their homes and family. And most shooting here in the USA are done by Mexican and Black gangs over drug money.
Our gun laws are fine. No-one needs handguns, and rifles and shotguns are easy to get if you're not a psycho and can prove you shoot at a shooting club or enjoy hunting.
@killerwatt318 you can own a shotgun or rifle if you want, and gun crime has risen due to social reasons in the last decade, but dont forget, it was much higher half a century ago
@cosentinospk No one has a need for a handgun? Well this man, his wife and two children sure did.
/watch?v=zSVVtrOFnOM
and there are 64 other examples of innocent people using firearms, primarily handguns, to protect their lives on the Armed Citizen channel alone. That's the Youtube account that uploaded the linked video. People are raped, murdered, and assaulted every day, in their homes and in the wider world. They have a right to protect themselves.
@mazerrackham001 What threat did those men pose. They wouldve burgled the house, he called of called the cops or got a knife, plus home invasion is less common in Britain, but I admit you are far more likely to get robbed or be mugged and burgled.
@cosentinospk What threat did those men pose? what, do you think they were just hoping to borrow a cup of sugar? People get killed in home invasions. To believe otherwise is to be willfully ignorant.
The Petit family is only one example of what commonly happens in a home invasion. /watch?v=DKqFLGUi4iE
As for calling the cops, there is an saying that, “when seconds count the police are minutes away” and here is a woman who was killed while doing exactly what you suggest. /watch?v=SdysBe9peZ4
@cosentinospk Are you seriously telling me that it's okay to try and kill home invaders with a knife, where the victim is more likely to be overpowered and killed along with their family, but killing them with a pistol is somehow unreasonable or immoral? I had no idea such absurd thoughts were even possible.
A law abiding citizen's right to live is non-negotiable. They are justified in taking any means to protect themselves and their loved ones - government and political fanatics be damned.
@mazerrackham001 What I'm arguing, is that this is an American style of crime. Find one case where this has happened in Britain, and if you can't be quiet and if you can then does one case justify a whole nation being armed which would undoubtedly lead to higher gun crime and murder rates? No. Having strict gun laws works here, and less people die as a result.
@cosentinospk Let me get this straight, you claim an entire nation doesn't have violent home invasions, but just to cover your ass you also say that if I show you very evidence you have just asked me for, you'll dismiss it out of hand anyway? I just want to make sure that's clear to everyone else reading your moronic comments.
All the same, here is a video example and a BBC article about a quadruple murder from just this month: /watch?v=a0neQGahKlc
@mazerrackham001 That video links to a stabbing, not a home invasion. Violent home invasions are far rarer here, and when you said "cover your ass" it dawned upon me that youre American, so why are you commenting on an issue which has nothing to do with you and you know nothing of? You know nothing of the envirnoment or general nature of British crime.
@cosentinospk If you read my comments, you'd have seen that I told you all about the video, which discusses two different murders. You'd think that if you asked me for evidence, you'd be interested in examining it, but then I remembered how you managed to request and dismiss evidence in the same sentence yesterday.
I seem to know more about UK crime than you do. You said UK gun restrictions reduced gun crime. British research proves that isn't true and I've linked an article showing as much.
@mazerrackham001 Also, the areas with high gun ownership are country areas where farmers hunt buck and game, whereas all the gang related shootings take place in the cities, but again these are minimal and only concern gang members although some people have been known to be caught in the cross-fire.
@cosentinospk That article shows a dramatic increase in gun crime following the handgun ban, shows that areas within Britain with higher legal gun ownership have significantly less gun crime than areas without, and that gun laws target legitimate gun owners more so than those who purchase guns illegally. I guess this means you’ll have to examine the data you requested now. Then again you suggested its ok to kill a criminal with a knife but wrong to use a gun so maybe you can't comprehend.
It really doesn't matter how common a crime is. A law abiding person's right to live is non-negotiable. They have the right to defend themselves. When their lives are at stake, who the hell will care what the statistical probabilities of the event were?
@mazerrackham001 + The allegory of the knife was put across in the light that you stated 60 million people should be armed because of a crime which is almost unheard of in Britain: Violent non-gang related home invasion, NOT Burglary, which is the crime of stealing without the intention of harming.
@cosentinospk The articles linked so far have referenced A Cambridge University study, reports on crime statistics within the EU by the European Commission, and crime statistics gathered by British police departments and released by the Home Office. Once again, if you actually read the evidence, you’d know that. Violent crime of every variety is, sadly, common in the UK. The evidence of that is posted here for all to see, even if you refuse to read it or can't comprehend it.
@cosentinospk Your claim that burglaries are somehow not violent or dangerous crimes demonstrates once again the depths of your willful ignorance. Here are two examples of a crime that has no “intention of harming”. All assaults are violent, period. Whether or not the victim happens to survive, it was a violent act and all victims have a right to defend themselves. No one should be required by law to be defenseless.
@cosentinospk The only reason all of those people aren’t dead is because of luck. There were no police to help them. You would rather them die than support their right to protect themselves because you, for reasons I cannot understand, think that the frequency of an assault has some bearing on whether or not a person has a right to self-preservation. A person’s right to live is non-negotiable. Any person, whether they live in London, Austin, or Mogadishu have a human right to defend themselves.
@cosentinospk What does it matter what a burglar carries or whether or not they are in a gang? I don’t care if they are armed with a pistol, a knife, or a surface to air missile. If they come into my house or assault me in any other way, my life IS absolutely in danger and I absolutely will defend myself, regardless of their armaments or with whom they socialize and every human being has that same natural born right, regardless of their geography or the depths of their government's incompetence.
@cosentinospk To believe that innocent people don’t have a right to defend themselves, based on the hope that the criminal is a nice burglar is beyond idiotic. To suggest that burglary is a safe crime is, following your pattern, willfully ignorant. And to try and minimize Britain’s atrocious violent crime rate by ignoring all violence except gun fatalities is purposefully deceptive. Who cares whether the criminal is in a gang? All that matters is that the victim has a right to defend themselves.
@cosentinospk Strict gun laws have reduced British crime and murder rates? How is it that you know so little about your own country? Crime rates have increased since the handgun ban. Gun crime alone increased over 40% in the first two years of the handgun ban. Automatic weapons are used in crimes more often in Britain than in the US (where it’s practically unheard of). British police certainly know this fact. They are being issued with firearms and body armor more than ever before.
@mazerrackham001 You are basing your arguments on 'Daily Mail-esque' facts, burglars here don't carry guns on their burglaries because there is next-to-no chance that they will get shot if caught by the owner of the house. Last year England and Wales had 0.15 firearm-related deaths per 100,000 people, the USA had 7.07 which means for every firearm death in England and Wales there are more than 47 in the USA.
To clarify, the examples linked are about two different home invasion homicides and the video link talks about a different murder in a public place until three and a half minutes into the video.
@mazerrackham001 So why does your comment on the top of this page quote the Daily Mail and the NY times?
The Daily Mail is known for cherry picking facts, and as I said before these are burglaries not home invasions, and most of our violent crime is the result of binge drinking.
@cosentinospk Why don't you read more than the URLs and find out? All of the linked articles will tell you where the data comes from. and since I am almost willing to bet you still won't actually read the articles, you can also reread my last comments, because I tell you where to find the data myself, as well. If you still can't figure it out, go find a trusted adult. They should be able to help you.
@cosentinospk I would be shocked that I’ve had to call you out three times for not reading the evidence you’re trying to talk about, but then I realized that in the last few days you have also:
1. Suggested that victims of home invasions should protect themselves with knives, but defending themselves with guns is wrong
2. Argued that the commonality of one type of violent crime should determine whether or not innocent people have a right to defend themselves
@mazerrackham001 You ask me to read your articles and pretend that you've absorbed my arguments but what i've said is that I'd rather MY nation, NOT AMERICA wasn't armed with guns because there would be more deaths and shootings (for every person shot and killed in England and Wales there are over 47 in America).
3. Suggested that calling the police when criminals are breaking down your door is the extent of what a victim may do.
4. Seriously asked what threat home invaders posed and claimed that home invasions are safe crimes with “no intention of causing harm”
5. Claimed that home invasions are “an American style of crime” and actually thought that I wouldn’t be able to find any examples in Britain, much less tens of thousands in England alone.
6. And last, but not least, asked me for evidence and dismissed said evidence out of hand in the same sentence. Not just the same comment, but the same sentence.
@mazerrackham001 Most people from Britain reading your comments will accept them as invalid because of their Sources. "The EU crime rates show this..." "the FBI crime rates show that..." studies revealed that 75% of the world's CCTV is in Britain, but they'd conducted their studies on a road in East London where every house and shop had more than one camera and then applied that to Britain including our low crime areas and villages.
@mazerrackham001 Again British studies showed that 1 in 52 people living in central Birmingham will be affected by gun crime every year, but central Birmingham doesn't have much housing, so very few people live there, there are many shootings in the clubs in central Birmingham, its not the average man thats getting shot and if guns were made legal the club would become a bloodbath.
Gun is a tool nothing more, by outlawing guns you basicly are giving a criminal a perfect tools to kill: silent bladed weapons, poisoned bladed tools, blunt weapons etc etc to whitch a person cannot protect themselves and noone can track the suspect down. Gun is a different thing... its sort of old school, you can track it, you can registrate it on a healthy, law abiding person, noone is gonna kill for fun with that because he still enjoys his ethics and moral.
Last year we had 42 gun deaths in the UK in a country of 60 million people. In the U.S. there were 31,000. England has never had a single child killed with a gun at a school. NO ONE! - Now if the U.S. want guns good luck to you but don't tell us that we have to do as you do. We have chosen to remove guns and it is working perfectly thank you very much.
"England has never had a single child killed with a gun at a school. NO ONE!".
Interesting.
I seem to remember that the last time England's Gun Laws were ammended, it was precisely BECAUSE a number of children were killed, in a school, and with a gun!!!
@MSM4U2POM - Dunblane is in Scotland so "DUH!" right back at you! I could really rub your nose in this error, especially looking at your channel, but I am nice so I won't.
I think the logic went; look at all those dead children in Scotland, lets ban guns so no more children get shot in school in GB. 15 years later there has not been one kid shot in a school in GB. Looks like that worked out very well then, don't you think?
It's still on mainland Britain and is governed by the same firearms laws, isn't it?
"Looks like that worked out very well then, don't you think?".
It would be impressive, if there were any identifiable trend BEFORE the incident for British people to gun people down in schools, but there isn't. The evidence is inconclusive, to say the least.
I know those things do happen but the lives of those people...and all the lives of all of those children are not worth our rights to bear arms.... What a sad pathetic attempt to play on the emotions of your people...Texas Out
Hahahaa what aload of absolute bollocks.All we need is the cast from Brasseye comedy show to make this a satire....LOL.Next a hoodie wearing a Dora the Explorer outfit shoots a young man dead over a packet of crisps...LOL.
What the fuck????? My dad was in a alley in down town denver and he saw some guys down the alley start to pick up boards and shit. They were going to kill him. He pulled his 45 and told them that if they came an closer he would kill all of them. THEY RAN OFF AND HE DIDNT HAVE TO KILL ANYONE!
I feel so bad for you guys in the UK. You have been brainwashed. I wish you guys could own guns at least to protect yourselves.
@WWIIairsoftColorado you cant tell someone their brainwashed. they dont understand they've been brainwashed. its all part of the one world order the super powers are trying to create. china, japan, the koreas, russia, the uk, they've all disarmed their citizens. the few left standing are the worlds last hope for freedom. never give up your guns. never believe the media. but always believe in humanity. theres always hope.
well look at all these eggplants and limeys in teh video. maybe if they didnt dress and act like a bunch of hoodrats and decided to go out and get an education as opposed to sitting around and smoking meth things like this wouldnt happen. banning the weapon wont fix anything, its the people that need to be educated on how to be responsible with the firearm.
@NoMAIG Well mate in the UK you would be charged with murder unless it is considered that you used reasonable force. America uses the definition of appropriate force/response. I have never got the difference myself. As for not caring what others think. That is not a good mind set. Look at Roma, Japan, China the UK and so on. It did none of them any good to be allow the arrogant to have power at arms privately and unchecked. Did it? :-)
@NoMAIG I hate to tell an American his own history. But the 2nd amendment is clearly not aimed at your own government. If you read the history and most importantly the debates on the point made at the time. You will see it was not intended for the US to have a standing army. The model to be followed was that of the Greek city states of classical times. The concern was that we Brits would come back as parliament had stated it would. You now have an army so no need for armed citizens.
@tina6581 HAHAHA you are in no place to teach me my own history OR constitutional liberties. The revolution was fought by a Militia AND a Federal ARMY. To say that our right to own guns is to hunt or protect my home is an ignorant and misleading statement. In fact , we carry guns due to it being a necessity of a free state, and for the people to have the ability to rise against a tyrannical government especially our own. WE are not ruled by any other man or Woman unlike yourself and your peopl
@NoMAIG Yes wipee you can all go out and get a gun. But hear in the UK we have never had the right to have guns. For every Five Americans there is one Brit. But we have less than 170 gun deaths per year. You have over 1700 per year and we include suicides you don’t. Almost all gun crimes in the UK are with guns off license. In the US over half are on license. I don’t say the 2ND amendment is a bad thing. But it was put in to defend against a UK invasion. Honest we are coming for you mate. :-)
british tv at its finest as soon as a few people get hurt by guns then its chaos media,tabloid calling for tighter gun laws disarming and putting genine hard working people at risk of rape,robbery and murder. if we had the right to carry weapons then we could feel safe in our own streets and houses,we need to reclaim our land from the pussy footing,left wing,liberal tards in parliment and drive criminal scum of the streets for good
@TheOctoman34 Ho yes good idea mate lets all get guns. I would love to have to carry 3lb of metal round with me all day. What we need is courts that don’t go. Was didums shouted at when he was six. Ho well that explains why robed the old lady. Two weeks community service and a pat on the head. My mate got spat at by a drunk guy some years back and punched the guy out and HE got nicked. UK justice for you. The pissed guy got compensation.
@tina6581 isuppose courts that uphold the law would be better han carrying a weapon around all day although health checks and a crack down on gun runners would do good aswell
So...We're bad guys for trying to stop people killing each other?
Let the facts speak for themselves. In the US roughly 1 person in 25,000 gets killed with a gun. Compare that with the UK where its only 1 in 800,000! I know you guys love your guns, but the vast majority of people in the UK are happy with our gun laws.

In 2009 there were 42 gun deaths in the entire UK (population 65 million). In the same year there were 35,000+ gun deaths in the USA including 3500 children. So clearly gun control is working and if it was not for other nations allowing firearms we would not have any illegal guns getting over our boarders.

@jerseyemt I hear ya man. And I 100% agree. They can take away 100% of the guns that are legally bought in the country with a law that is active, but they can never take away 100% of the guns that are bought in illegally, in secret, or to those that hide them. Therefore, those who want to do good and be law abiding citizens have close to no chance in a serious combat with someone who is armed with a gun and you with something less of a defense.

Forget air rifles, many of the toy guns (which didn't even fire any sort or projectile) would now be illegal to possess in public - most would be considered "imitation firearms", some would even be "realistic imitation firearms". Both are firearms offences, the latter would land you in almost as much trouble as a real loaded gun.

@170adamb I too am not a layer.

Prior to 1988 the only restriction was on ownership of Fully Automatic Firarms. The 88 ban only outlawed self loading or pump action rifles.

@Jordon590 While a projectile fired at high speeds certainly could kill, my point was that firearms are not solely designed to kill. Firearms have many uses, most of which do not involve injuring or killing people.
You can win an Olympic gold medal shooting a rifle, a shotgun, and even a handgun.
So, the only purpose a firearm has is to fire a projectile at very high speeds. It is what is done with this projectile that is good, neutral, or evil. Guns are not the problem; criminals are.

@cosentinospk That article shows a dramatic increase in gun crime following the handgun ban, shows that areas within Britain with higher legal gun ownership have significantly less gun crime than areas without, and that gun laws target legitimate gun owners more so than those who purchase guns illegally.

@cosentinospk To believe that innocent people don’t have a right to defend themselves, based on the hope that the criminal is a nice burglar is beyond idiotic. To suggest that burglary is a safe crime is, following your pattern, willfully ignorant. And to try and minimize Britain’s atrocious violent crime rate by ignoring all violence except gun fatalities is purposefully deceptive. Who cares whether the criminal is in a gang? All that matters is that the victim has a right to defend themselves.
mazerrackham001 9 months ago
@cosentinospk Strict gun laws have reduced British crime and murder rates? How is it that you know so little about your own country? Crime rates have increased since the handgun ban. Gun crime alone increased over 40% in the first two years of the handgun ban. Automatic weapons are used in crimes more often in Britain than in the US (where it’s practically unheard of). British police certainly know this fact. They are being issued with firearms and body armor more than ever before.
mazerrackham001 9 months ago
@mazerrackham001 You are basing your arguments on 'Daily Mail-esque' facts, burglars here don't carry guns on their burglaries because there is next-to-no chance that they will get shot if caught by the owner of the house. Last year England and Wales had 0.15 firearm-related deaths per 100,000 people, the USA had 7.07 which means for every firearm death in England and Wales there are more than 47 in the USA.

5. Claimed that home invasions are “an American style of crime” and actually thought that I wouldn’t be able to find any examples in Britain, much less tens of thousands in England alone.

6. And last, but not least, asked me for evidence and dismissed said evidence out of hand in the same sentence. Not just the same comment, but the same sentence.

@mazerrackham001 Most people from Britain reading your comments will accept them as invalid because of their Sources. "The EU crime rates show this..." "the FBI crime rates show that..." studies revealed that 75% of the world's CCTV is in Britain, but they'd conducted their studies on a road in East London where every house and shop had more than one camera and then applied that to Britain including our low crime areas and villages.

@mazerrackham001 Again British studies showed that 1 in 52 people living in central Birmingham will be affected by gun crime every year, but central Birmingham doesn't have much housing, so very few people live there, there are many shootings in the clubs in central Birmingham, its not the average man thats getting shot and if guns were made legal the club would become a bloodbath.

Gun is a tool nothing more, by outlawing guns you basicly are giving a criminal a perfect tools to kill: silent bladed weapons, poisoned bladed tools, blunt weapons etc etc to whitch a person cannot protect themselves and noone can track the suspect down. Gun is a different thing... its sort of old school, you can track it, you can registrate it on a healthy, law abiding person, noone is gonna kill for fun with that because he still enjoys his ethics and moral.

Last year we had 42 gun deaths in the UK in a country of 60 million people. In the U.S. there were 31,000. England has never had a single child killed with a gun at a school. NO ONE! - Now if the U.S. want guns good luck to you but don't tell us that we have to do as you do. We have chosen to remove guns and it is working perfectly thank you very much.

"England has never had a single child killed with a gun at a school. NO ONE!".
Interesting.
I seem to remember that the last time England's Gun Laws were ammended, it was precisely BECAUSE a number of children were killed, in a school, and with a gun!!!
DOH!

@MSM4U2POM - Dunblane is in Scotland so "DUH!" right back at you! I could really rub your nose in this error, especially looking at your channel, but I am nice so I won't.
I think the logic went; look at all those dead children in Scotland, lets ban guns so no more children get shot in school in GB. 15 years later there has not been one kid shot in a school in GB. Looks like that worked out very well then, don't you think?

@WillShakespeare2007
"Dunblane is in Scotland" etc.
It's still on mainland Britain and is governed by the same firearms laws, isn't it?
"Looks like that worked out very well then, don't you think?".
It would be impressive, if there were any identifiable trend BEFORE the incident for British people to gun people down in schools, but there isn't. The evidence is inconclusive, to say the least.

What the fuck????? My dad was in a alley in down town denver and he saw some guys down the alley start to pick up boards and shit. They were going to kill him. He pulled his 45 and told them that if they came an closer he would kill all of them. THEY RAN OFF AND HE DIDNT HAVE TO KILL ANYONE!
I feel so bad for you guys in the UK. You have been brainwashed. I wish you guys could own guns at least to protect yourselves.

well look at all these eggplants and limeys in teh video. maybe if they didnt dress and act like a bunch of hoodrats and decided to go out and get an education as opposed to sitting around and smoking meth things like this wouldnt happen. banning the weapon wont fix anything, its the people that need to be educated on how to be responsible with the firearm.

@NoMAIG Well mate in the UK you would be charged with murder unless it is considered that you used reasonable force. America uses the definition of appropriate force/response. I have never got the difference myself. As for not caring what others think. That is not a good mind set. Look at Roma, Japan, China the UK and so on. It did none of them any good to be allow the arrogant to have power at arms privately and unchecked. Did it? :-)

@NoMAIG I hate to tell an American his own history. But the 2nd amendment is clearly not aimed at your own government. If you read the history and most importantly the debates on the point made at the time. You will see it was not intended for the US to have a standing army. The model to be followed was that of the Greek city states of classical times. The concern was that we Brits would come back as parliament had stated it would. You now have an army so no need for armed citizens.
tina6581 1 year ago
@tina6581 HAHAHA you are in no place to teach me my own history OR constitutional liberties. The revolution was fought by a Militia AND a Federal ARMY. To say that our right to own guns is to hunt or protect my home is an ignorant and misleading statement. In fact , we carry guns due to it being a necessity of a free state, and for the people to have the ability to rise against a tyrannical government especially our own. WE are not ruled by any other man or Woman unlike yourself and your peopl
AntBanks2626 11 months ago
@NoMAIG Yes wipee you can all go out and get a gun. But hear in the UK we have never had the right to have guns. For every Five Americans there is one Brit. But we have less than 170 gun deaths per year. You have over 1700 per year and we include suicides you don’t. Almost all gun crimes in the UK are with guns off license. In the US over half are on license. I don’t say the 2ND amendment is a bad thing. But it was put in to defend against a UK invasion. Honest we are coming for you mate. :-)
tina6581 1 year ago
british tv at its finest as soon as a few people get hurt by guns then its chaos media,tabloid calling for tighter gun laws disarming and putting genine hard working people at risk of rape,robbery and murder. if we had the right to carry weapons then we could feel safe in our own streets and houses,we need to reclaim our land from the pussy footing,left wing,liberal tards in parliment and drive criminal scum of the streets for good

@TheOctoman34 Ho yes good idea mate lets all get guns. I would love to have to carry 3lb of metal round with me all day. What we need is courts that don’t go. Was didums shouted at when he was six. Ho well that explains why robed the old lady. Two weeks community service and a pat on the head. My mate got spat at by a drunk guy some years back and punched the guy out and HE got nicked. UK justice for you. The pissed guy got compensation.
