I’m in the U.K. where self defence is basically illegal. Can’t even carry mace so I have a legal carry knife (>2” non-locking). I’m female so I want to be able to feel like I stand half a chance of defending myself, if I was in the US I’d have a gun. They are excellent deterrents.

Now I don’t wish for guns in the U.K. (we really don’t have the police to deal with what would entail) but I’ve gotten into REAL arguments with my country fellows about gun laws in US. It’s bullshit that you don’t have to worry about self defence without guns. Are people insane?

Y’all keep your guns. Keep your safety, keep your right to defend yourself and your property. It’s written into your constitution for a reason.

This is exactly what I would expect from someone from the UK. I'm just appalled when Brits say things like 'We don't need no guns here! That's how you get mass shooters' and then you ask them how the shootings end and they proceed to call you a ___-ist, whatever the current leftist fad insult/movement happens to be.

Yeah, they basically are keeping us unarmed and unable to defend ourselves. While militant Islamists are slowly taking over our country too. Just look at the Grooming Gangs cases that are coming to light here, estimated 20k white British girls targeted and victimised. Likely way more than that. I don’t think it would have happened if we were armed as a populace.

If the US wants a warning what not to do just look at the weapons and self defence laws here, there’s a reason why we have a significantly higher rate of sexual assault, as well as robberies, burglaries, and break ins, etc. It’s not empowering to disarm good, honest members of society. Which is what I see Biden pushing for in the states.
