Britons are free to live without the constant threat of being murdered by a gun, either by a criminal or a thuggish policeman.

Such as the people killed a few days ago by the taxi driver? Sure their murder rate is lower, but I'm not sold on the idea that guns/murder rate is the only relevant corelation.

The difference is that in Britain the shooting is a noteworthy and unusual occurrence that's made the national news. People being killed in a drive by shooting is a normal happening in this country, grimly reported on the evening local news every few days and then quickly forgotten.

in fact strict control would probably lead to a surge in terrorism perpetrated by right-wing extremists.

It wouldn't be "terrorism" at that point. Sorry, try again. If the government tries to remove ones God given rights it is the right of the people to do whatever necessary to sustain said right.

Using religion to legitimize violence? You're right, that doesn't sound like terrorism at all. Roll Eyes

Weren't you complaining the other day that Muslims are uncivilized and backwards? And then you go around pretending you live in the 18th century.
