I live in the U.K. If anyone could get a gun, last night would have been a lot worse.

If a van is coming towards you at 50 + mph , like hell are you going to be able to stop it.

Stop saying shit like this. You see what gun violence is like in America, so why try and say it’s a help. Mate it’s a fucking hindrance.

How about you start with legalizing pepper spray and work your way up? I didn’t mention firearms at all.

You live in a society where publicly possessing any item that could be construed as an offensive weapon is prohibited.

Maybe a woman with a cc permit could have prevented the throat slashing and stabbings that occurred after the van attack. I’ll bet you many of the victims wished they had the opportunity to resist, but they’re dead. The cops don’t come until you’re dead.

You have two choices if you don’t believe the state should curb immigration or crack down on Islamists. They are enumerated here;

You can prepare to defend yourself or you can have a police state. I think the latter has been the goal for a long time and I think your mentality has been cultivated for it.

The individual’s right to life and the defense of it is self-evident and you restrict that out of irrational fear.

For what it’s worth firearm violence has declined precipitously in the United States despite the increase in ownership and your misconceptions.

^^^^^I was wondering if anyone was ever going to bring this up

Wut the FECK

I feel so bad for the sane Brits. They must be (and are, because I’m FB friends with some of them) losing their minds over this insanity.

I know! Same!

so, in britian you can’t buy kitchen knifes, and you have to have your computers and TVs registered and monitored, you get an extra tax for having an empty bedroom, but America is the Dystopian society?

Journalists are evil lying little rats. The guy filming their trickery is a hero.

I’m trying to figure out if the people in the picture are actors being paid to hold up the signs CNN has given them and stand where they point, or just people off the street corralled into it. Would be interesting if someone else followed that up.

Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior

Prejudice

Discrimination

or 

Antagonism

Any of those things, which can all be done ‘both ways.’ Get over your victim complex, OP
