LAW-ABIDING BRITISH CITIZENS were forced to SURRENDER their firearms as some sort of panacea, but violent crime in the United Kingdom has actually gone up!
People must be able to fight back, and to defend oneself against an attack, it’s best to have a FIREARM. Millions of LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS understand that PRINCIPLE and have obtained concealed carry licenses and permits.
The right of self-defense is the oldest human right, the ten year Clinton ban on so-called “assault weapons” was just as INEFFECTIVE against CRIME too.
