Never in a million years would it ever enter my head to carry a knife or any weapon, I don't ever recall anyone being stabbed or shot when I was a teenager, back in my day they fought with their fists to settle a score. I do however remember a woman glassing someone but it was rare to see or hear about anything like that.
As long as those who carry guns stick to shooting each other, that can only be to our good.

Let them kill each other off.

I am glad it is illegal to own a gun for protection in the UK, it hasn't done the US any good at all that they have the right to own the things. Anyone carrying any sort of weapon in the UK should spend a long time in prison, imo.

Which will result in a confrontation with the police resulting in an increased likelihood of a policeman being shot in order for the crim to avoid capture.

The other thing is an old but very true "chestnut" that when guns are illegal only criminals will have guns. It's what is increasingly happening today in the inner city slums and colonies.

Monkeypuzzle is making the same mistake I have seen so many times: comparing us to the US!

I have yet to hear one of these people explain how most European police forces routinely carry guns, yet the problems faced in America don't seem to arise there.

Now look at Switzerland, a very peaceful country, where even the public are permitted to own firearms. How very strange! Perhaps it is something more to do with America specifically, than the right to bear arms.

Or that America is a truly horrible place made even worse in recent years by Democrat politicians with Barack Hussein being by far the worst of a bad bunch.

Think one might be digressing a little, if one doesn't mind one saying?
