I've read these comments from US citizens and it only serves to show how alienated they are from the rest of the world. For a start England is the United Kingdom which includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and for another I have visited the states a few times. How many of you have been to the UK? The only problem we have here is our fictitious relationship to your money empire backed by guns and we need to get away from you....quickly! . When China and Russia have their turn at running the world the USA will become a forgotten backwater of history just like the Greek, the Roman and the British empires.

I reiterate. British police don't carry guns because they don't have to. We live in a far more tolerant society than the US with your religious nutcases and psychopathic money men and the sooner the whole rotten structure falls apart the safer the world will be.

I don't think I've ever heard a more pathetic and twisted justification for human beings owning guns. British police don't carry guns and UK gun crime is negligible compared to the US. There is only one purpose to a gun and that is to kill or main. To believe that it serves or encourages any other purpose than that is delusion on a grand scale. The moment a safety catch is flipped and an index finger is curled around the trigger is the moment a victim becomes the perpetrator. Wake up America Wyatt Earp is history.
