Well obviously you don’t know what you are talking about. Even with the patriot act we still have far more privacy rights than the UK ever will. They still have to obtain a warrant to do any spying; the problem is it is easier for them to get a warrant. In the United States there has to be probable cause before you can search someone’s private possessions. In the UK the police can pat you down at random in the streets.You are nothing but an prisoner there. The UK has more surveillance cameras than any other country in the world. They are even worried about what you and your wife do in the bedroom. Is it true about the ban on kinky sex there?
<quoted text>
People get executed everyday in the UK. Rather than the police shooting criminals it is the criminals stabbing and shooting citizens and the police. Are you so retarded that you think that police being disarmed and rendered useless is a good thing? Ha what a joke! You can’t really be that ignorant can you? Well have fun in the UK prison system. Watch out for Bubba!
<quoted text>
It is much better. I would rather be shot with a tiny bullet than be stabbed to death or beaten to death by a group of thugs with baseball bats or chains. Everyone is going to hear the gunshot. Your attacker will have to flee after shooting you and the police and an ambulance will be on the way to save you. The thugs in the UK can keep beating you as long as they want and then walk away in the darkness as if nothing ever happened. In the United States this couldn’t happen. I am armed and can walk through any dark alley without fear of being mugged or killed by any large group of thugs. I have 17 rounds in the mag and 1 in the chamber. I can walk through any ghetto and adapt to any ghetto. Have no balls you say? Let’s see your chicken **** walk around the mean streets of the ghetto at night.
You're proud of the fact that your murder rate is 3X that of the most violent place in Europe and you're proud of the fact that you need to carry a firearm to walk some places without fear of being killed.
AS for privacy rights in the UK police still need a valid reason to stop and search but unlike the USA the police actually need a warrant to tap your phone, your texts and your instant messages. You've actually put it into law that they can listen to anything and if they find something bad can get a warrant retrospectively. To get a warrant in the US a judge just has to be told by a police officer that they suspect someone. The only reason you still have warrants is to give the slight impression of freedom. That's the reality of the USA.

As for your fantasy about thugs beating people up for hours on end, are you telling me that the US doesn't have baseball bats or were you implying that everyone is so scared they carry a gun?

You have less freedom, you're scared to walk the streets and every major police department has at least one team of guys armed to military standards. Sounds like even the police walk around in abject fear.

We've been rough and tumble since our beginnings. Newsflash: we're not British anymore! We're free! Your Queen owns you! Half our gun deaths are suicide! Half of total deaths are'nt with firearms! We have 310,000,000 people! All our stats will look big to any Euro country! Brits are so cowardly and frightened that they give up liberty for the pretense of security and wind up with neither! Now, go smoke some of Amy Winehouse's stash and cheer up! Quit whining! We own America, you don't! GET OVER IT!!!

Via feedup

USA population compared to UK

300 million USA
60 million UK

Comparison of overall crime increase per million. The statistical population increase is proportional to the rise in crime.

60 Mil./300 mil x 5%+60% increase for illegal’s = approximant rate of increase of crime.

The average per million increase of population figures at 0.75 %.

Illegal insurgent increases at approximately 1.5% per million. Approximant 25 million.

82.5 = 60/300 X (0.75 X 300)+(25 X 1.5)

Gives you an 82.5% increase in crime.

UK 'Gun Ban' TRUTH:

Ministers 'covered up' gun crime

"THE government was accused yesterday of covering up the full extent of the gun crime epidemic sweeping Britain, after official figures showed that gun-related killings and injuries had risen more than fourfold since 1998.

"The Home Office figures - which exclude crimes involving air weapons - show the number of deaths and injuries caused by gun attacks in England and Wales soared from 864 in 1998-99 to 3,821 in 2005-06. That means that more than 10 people are injured or killed in a gun attack every day...."

Just in case you missed it:

THE MURDER RATE IS 3X THE MOST VIOLENT PLACE IN EUROPE WHERE YOU LIVE.

If you were educated any you'd realise that the murder rate takes the relative populations into account. Any person is 3X more likely to be killed in the US. That's the murder rate, not the suicide rate.

You also say that half total deaths aren't gun deaths. Does that mean you think that half the deaths in your country ARE by the gun?

As I already pointed out the maths you quoted (which obviously isn't even yours) doesn't make sense. It also has nothing to do with the harsh reality that the murder rate in the USA is unbelievably high.

You've just cut and pasted the same stuff (again), most of which is irrelevant and much of which isn't from any credible source. What was the point?

So what's your theory? No guns in America will equal no violence? We know better. Suicide is a seperate category, even a Brit can distuingush that! Being armed also serves the purpose of giving the people a defense against TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT! That concept has been bre out of y'all but we still hold it sacred!

Well, these guys are not educated enough to know how to do math. I tried to reason that point with them almost a year ago. They are angry and enraged.

Hey, so check out the topix forum entitled "It't the Guns, Stupid. You will see for yourself the anger I am referring to. They use vulgarity and name calling in an attempt to squelch out their rage.

Your fact are somewhat off, but it still goes to show that if you don't let a crazy, ranting person have a gun, they won't commit suicide.

I think you'll find that your government is far more tryranical than mine. What have you done to defend yourself from it? Why you voted it back in. Duuuuhhh!!!

As for defence against a tyranical government, perhaps you should learn about the declaration of arbroath, the first time in history that a population gained the RIGHT to overthrow any government (or monarchy) they disliked. It's one of the documents your constitution copied, it was done in Scotland and it has been part of British law for longer than your country has existed.

Yes a brit can recognise suicide is different from murder. Thats why I mentioned it in the first place to counter your stupid point that half of gun deaths were suicides.

My theory whoch is clearly backed up by the available evidence is that although the USA is less violent than many places overall it has a far higher murder rate since you've made killing people so much easier. Banning guns would save lives and make your whole nation safer overall.

It isn't rocket science and any mildly educated person should realise it makes sense. Why can't you?

You would think that a mildly educated person such as yourself would realize that banning guns in the US would only affect law-abiding citizens. The criminals would keep theirs, with a bonus. They could go much more confidently about their business, knowing that the average citizen can no longer represent a threat to them, since they are now disarmed.

Surely you don't believe that criminals are suddenly going to obey the law...by definition they ignore the law. Perhaps that's why we call them CRIMINALS.

I think it would make it far easier for gun toting criminals to be taken off the streets. These days it is perfectly legal for a drug dealer to carry a gun as long as he hasn't been convicted before.

If you found him in possession of a gun just after he'd flushed his stash you couldn't do a thing. If guns were illegal you could.

Even if you did find him with srugs if he had a gun too he'd go away for longer. Surely thats a good thing?
