@FiveFingerRainRap It's funny how socialists ignore arguments and points made about their failed policies. You are perfect proof of this and are in denial. We are fightning in America to make sure this doesn't happen to us too, despite the special interests invested in turning us into you - God forbid. Socialist policies strip the ordinary British citizen of any sense of national pride, and arms them with a victim and entitlement mentality. This is why the act like this.

[Y2KCIA]

@FiveFingerRainRap History doesn't support your argument about gun control, and studies do not support your point of view. You still ignore my point, and instead provide wide-based assertions without regard to the point made. All cities with gun control have more incidences of violent crime than places with no gun control. And this video seems to show ordinary citizens rampaging around Britain, because there are no consequences for them. Nice try to ignore the argument!

@FiveFingerRainRap hahaha! Because you know that you cannot refute these claims, so you just call them names. British society has produced these ranks of dependent, spoiled children who have been given everything from the socialist govt policies. So they don't learn to earn what they work for and think everything is entitled to them. This produces these rioters, mainly made up of spoiled children who seek more materialism, who think they can take what they want.

[FiveFingerRainRap]

@Y2KCIA Nope, wrong again. The notion of gun control in a country with an extremely low incidence of gun crime and gun ownership, is to prevent a culture where guns are freely accepted and used. I can see that you want an American style system - everything you have said so far points to that. It is also where your argument fails, because America is a much more violent place. Your arguments fail at every hurdle, and I assure you there are many studies that support my opinion.

[FiveFingerRainRap]

Nope, it is nothing to do with my ability to refute your terribly worded 'argument', and everything to do with the fact that your 'argument' was nothing more than a standard issue torie soundbite loaded with scare-mongering nonsense buzzwords. Lets see - 'poisoned socialist culture', 'spoiled minions', 'socialist entitelment culture' - and you expect me to reply seriously to this extremist claptrap? Perhaps attempt to formulate a point without resorting to using these broken cliches?

[Y2KCIA]

@FiveFingerRainRap The notion of gun control is to strip law-abiding citizens from their ability to defend themselves and their families. The guns will always trickle in to the criminal element. But allowing the law-abiding citizen to be a sitting duck actually EMBOLDENS the criminal element, and encourages criminal behavior with no regard for negative consequences - thus creating and atmosphere like you are witnessing. Studies do not support your opinion on gun control.

[Y2KCIA]

@FiveFingerRainRap That's probably because you are incapable of making a coherent argument refuting my second point because it's actually the truth. Glad you acknowledge this. Sticking to guns, no they wouldn't have rioted like this because the police would actually possess a method to deter these criminals, and store owners would be enough of a deterrant. An armed society is a more polite society, and these spoiled socialist beatniks would certainly be more polite.
