@Nigel_Farage Hopefully we hear you speak out on our ridiculous self defence and firearms laws which do nothing to deter crime and only embolden criminals knowing their victims cannot effectively fight back.
@HowardMSklar@MorosKostas I merely pointed out the 2nd amendment traces its origins to British legislation. Your founding fathers simply improved the wording of it and clearly because of the circumstances people were willing to defend it.
You are correct that this isnt the case in the UK
I want your views
Following the Uxbridge attack where a man was randomly stabbed to death walking his dog and the attack on the LNER train that stopped at Huntingdon
Is it time we legalise self defence products such as pepper spray
@dshensmith We have been saying this for years. Our laws are not for public safety that is the lie being told nor are they based on fact. But subjective knee jerk reactions and paranoia
Glad its finally being talked about.
In the UK you can be sentenced for up to 10 years for carrying (not even using just carrying) pepper spray
That’s right, in a country where people are being stabbed randomly walking their dog or on the train
You can be jailed for trying to protect yourself
It’s not right
@sophielouisecc We have been saying for years our draconian laws are not for public safety.
There is no greater deterrent to criminals than the idea that their victims might be able to harm them.
It has been shown time & time again to reduce crime.
Glad it is finally being talked about.
@sophielouisecc We have been pointing this out for years.
Our laws are not for public safety but that is the lie that has been pushed for a century.
Glad to see people finally talking about it.
@TheCriticalDri2@SuzanneEvans1 It further shows 2 things
Why bearing arms is important because there are people out their who want to kill people they disagree with
Those that are usually anti gun are the worst for encouraging violence and project their own mental instability onto the responsible people
@IngrameThomas Yes.
Further info. The US 2nd amendment is based on British constitutional acts. It could be argued we do have the right but no one is fighting for it.
Brave man.
Unfortunately he like everyone else is forbidden from having any means that could result in a more effective interference or even better a complete deterrence to violent criminals.
'I saw a kid getting stabbed, and I tried to save her'
Abdullah is a security guard working nearby and intervened in the attack - he tells Sky News he "heard a scream", then "jumped on" the man who was attacking the child

@BBCNews The police cannot protect anyone, unless of course you are someone special who gets 24 hour armed protection
People are also legally forbidden to have the means to protect themselves.
Why are we still failing to acknowledge this?

@FirearmsUK@EastLindseyDC@craigjleyland @MarcJonesLincs @RhondaT40 Fed up with the inaction against these criminals and to top it off I’ve just pulled my wheelie bin in and it’s still half full 😂 Someone remind me why we pay council tax.
@paulwhitelam@EastLindseyDC@craigjleyland @MarcJonesLincs @RhondaT40 One of the biggest scourges of our countryside and towns is selfish people littering and leaving yheir rubbish for others to clean up.
This is one offence we would really like to see harsh punishments for.
