Trump vs London Mayor

As any Brit would reply,.... drivel, utter drivel.

See? I told you they were brain dead.

Imagine what the crime rate is in England? Murder rate? Cop deaths? What with all those officers without guns. I bet it's downright embarrassing compared to the states.

Let me ask you a simple question.

You and your wife are at home watching the telly. ( that's what they call it in GB) some nut bar forces his way into your home and attacks your wife with a knife. Would you wish to god that you had a gun at that moment?
Answer truthfully?

I love that a lot of the comments here are from people that have zero self defence training and think that the only way to solve a problem with someone is to shoot and kill them. The reason why they don't need guns is because its difficult to get a gun in western europe. Do you truly believe that the terrorist laid out all their weapon options out between firearms/van/knife and thought" hmm, what would kill more people? the van and knife". It's a great thing they didnt have access to guns or more people would have died. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out less guns = less gun violence. They believe in nonlethal actions "oh, you have a knife" "I have a taser"

I do have guns, but that's not the point, or the argument. But if we're going to spin...

Someone breaks into your house with a gun.... Don't you wish the didn't have one. Answer truthfully.

CEW's are no match for deadly force. You don't take a CEW to a knife fight!!

The folks at Lawrence St Canadian Tire in Scar town did ok unarmed against a knife wielding, golf club swinging terrorist Saturday.

That's rather odd. I didn't realize that criminals in Britain didn't have guns.

Still comes down to " people kill "

You are correct. With few exceptions they just stab or beat their victims to death. The violence offences people in the UK commit are the same as every where else. They just use different tools. The rate of violence is quite high in the UK.
