The United Kingdom has slowly but surely taken away her citizen's right to self defense. Handguns are banned and long guns are heavily restricted. People are barred from carrying knives, chains, bats, pointy sticks, flashlights that use 'D' batteries and anything else that might be used to fend off an attacker. Citizens are routinely arrested and prosecuted for defending themselves in an attack. It should not be so shocking, that the resulting atmosphere is one filled with routine muggings, rapes, and unprovoked attacks.
Now, after a string of such attacks, Britain is warning women not to go jogging.
"There is no sexual motive apparent, no robbery. The sole reason for this attack is for the self gratification of the individual."England sounds like a wonder country, doesn't it? The criminals roam free and the law abiding citizenry is locked away behind iron bars.
How dare any government instruct their citizens they have no right to defend themselves?
