<<Are you going to honestly say that British folks on this
list have as much ability to defend themselves as I do?>>>
If you want me to, I will. Do you want me to? Or do you want an honest
answer?
<<<Why? IT's the most important reason for owning firearms.
If you give up the right to use firearms as defensive weapons
then they are just dangerous toys - why not ban them?>>>
No.........its the most important reason for owning firearms in America. (it
probably isn't actually, but who am I to start telling someone from another
country .......... etc)
We don't have the right to use them, so we can't give up something that we
haven't got.
Interesting to note an American who tells us that firearms are dangerous
toys if not owned for self defence.
Might want to tell that one to, say, Charlton Heston ?
<<<In contrast, I am able to carry lockback knives at all
times. I am able to carry pepper spray at all times.
I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun.>>>
I really pity you . I would not want to live in a place where it was
necessary to carry such an array of weaponry. If you do want to live in such
a place, then best of luck. I wouldnt like to pay the life insurance. Could
this be evidence of a different culture?
Do me a favour tho.......grasp this concept........... what you like to do
in the US of A is not necessarily applicable in the mother country.

Accoring to an NSSF survey (that was really good, I thought)
about 80% of people buying handguns in the US say they do so
for self-defence.
I've got to say that last paragraph is pretty patronising,
exercising a civil right is not a sign of "necessity". The
point he's making is that he has that right, we don't,
or rather we did.
