I'm glad I don' Live in England

We separated ourselves from the UK for a reason.

There are those today who very ostentatiously attack the First Amendment every bit as ardently as they attack the Second. And they point to Canada and the UK as their model.

NO, I REFUSE.

............. but sadly, we are headed towards anarchy.

We couldn't be so lucky. As we drift quickly away from our constitutional form of government, anarchy would be my second choice. It's a distant second; but, second. Unfortunately, we will get to socialism with totalitarian central control and never reach the much better anarchy.

The duly empowered government move to seize the citizenry's powder supply.

Just sayin'.

Well it has gotten worse. The homeowner has been released but is having to move for his own safety. People are creating a memorial to the burglar in front of the homeowners house. Flowers and teddy bears.

Jeez! At least they're relatives of the scumbag and not just regular folks.
The neighbors are supportive of the pensioner and have been tearing down the "memorials" - which is as it should be. Somebody (the bobbies) OUGHT to be chasing the flower-bearers off. This is private property after all.

Let's look at the problem, first, we will ban firearms! Strange enough that didn't work because people are still killing or trying to hurt others. Let's ban knives, that should put an end to the problem. Unfortunately, that won't solve the problem either. Until we look at the root of the problem and treat it like such we will always have this problem. It's not the instrument, it's the person! They are also going to implement stop & frisk, adding an additional 300 bobbies to the streets. This worked very well back in the day with the NYPD, but Mayor D(I love felons) put an end to that.

Does the British citizen have a duty to report such an incident? He would been better off not reporting it at all and keeping his mouth closed.

You're right, but good luck getting any them to agree with you.

"They" attack guns/knives/objects for one reason, they have no voice.

While the above situations are no doubtably true in many of our states, there are still (thank G_d) a few where the very first question asked in the investigation is "Did the sumbitch need killin'?"

I'll tell you what would work better:

1. internal passports
2. tying one's place of residence to one's place of employment
3. institutionalized torture
4. preventive detention
5. "corrective labor" camps
6. death sentences handed down by three member "troikas"

It worked in the Soviet Union.

Of course it depends upon how you define "work".

The solution to being victimized by private sector criminals is not to institutionalize the victimization of non-criminals by the government.

The 4th and 5th Amendments are every bit as important as the 1st and 2nd.

That the UK would go down the crooked road of "stop and frisk", indicates just how intellectually and morally bankrupt their system has become.

Ban enough stuff and eventually EVERYBODY'S a "criminal".

Robber prolly reported it. That way he gets his medical bills taken care of and gets paid for his "lost wages".

I believe that the first high profile (if not the first in general) self-defense shooting in Ohio after the passage of "shall issue" concealed carry legislation was a squalid little thug named Arthur Buford.

Little Artie and his pal decided that they were going to rob a guy at gunpoint on his own front lawn.

Artie got fatally ventilated for his trouble and his buddy broke several Olympic records running home to change his shorts.

Artie's mutant family and "posse" got on their high sway backed horse to pontificate about the "injustice" of an armed robber getting shot by the person he was robbing.

This freakshow was horrified when the community in general reacted with, "If you don't want to get shot, don't try to rob people."

There have been a number of similar self-defense shootings since then, and the reaction has overwhelmingly been the same... except of course from those committing or profiting from said crimes.

Nobody gets a letter from the "Armed Robbery Draft Board" announcing their conscription. That's a VOLUNTEER position. If you CHOOSE to commit violent crimes against innocent people (and only IMBECILES think that strongarm robbery is a "property crime"), then you CHOOSE to incur the risk of being beaten, stabbed, choked, shot, set on fire or whatever else the victim can bring to bear against you. Don't like that? Find something else to do.

And that's the general attitude here in Ohio.

According to local press, the man who legitimately ventilated little Artie had his home vandalized and had to abandon it and stay concealed himself, while Artie's friends placed a street shrine to honor him. Somehow, the world is the same all over...
