  1. They don't give these guys guns, right?

  2.  @Taskandpurpose  I saw an Firearms Unit shopping for his lunch is Asda the other day. Seeing a policeman with a pistol and a taser is really weird in the UK. Although I used to work where they made the credit cards and if anybody even scuffed their knee near that place, G36s with police attached materialised like magic.

  3.  @Taskandpurpose  It's the guys who were pissed at no ammo that you don't call back next year. They were probably looking forward to heroically shooting looters.

  4. My bugout bag contains nothing because I'm British. We're a touch more resilient. Also it's an island.

  5.  James Harding  Yeah, I know, right? I thought the whole point of police using 9mm parabellum fed weapons is you don't get the over penetration where your shoot one and the three in a line behind them Seems like a daft weapon to payroll am airport with.

  6. It's not even a joke, one idiot tried to kill a hospital ship with a train. I'd be in a tank. In Canada.

  7.  @jrhandley  Well of course we have tea. That goes without saying. If you look at the history books, the British isles is where you big out to, not from. My family bugged out to the UK in 1940 something. Which makes me very ashamed of all the 'no more freedom of movement there's too many Polish here now'

  8.  @jrhandley  We've been here for 80 years!

  9. Also I live in Portsmouth. Portsmouth is an island itself, we'll just blow the bridges

  10.  @Taskandpurpose  Hey, you guys know that we've always equipped our tanks with BVs (boiling vessel, for tea and heating MR.E Meals) right? You've added BVs to your M1s.

  11.  @jrhandley  In the cloak room of course. Next to our S.M.L.E. No.4.

  12.  @jrhandley  You know I was able to shoot a few times when I was young with my dad in the navy. The good old days when they have 8 year olds a battle rifle to play with. So I've shot the L1A1 SLR (inch pattern FAL, my shoulder stung a bit in the morning) and the L85A1 (the bad one of the SA80 family) which was like during an air rifle, no kick at all. Then everything was restricted. People think that means banned but if it's bolt action it's still legal but your need an FAC, FireArms Certificate. So once I've moved house I'm going to take up competition shooting with an SMLE. I can even get the Pakistani copy that they chambered for 762! Looking forward to that. But they're tools to us, like a hammer or a car. In no way do we consider them as weapons for attack outer defense.

  13.  @jrhandley  Ask, yes, but we're British dear boy... https://youtu.be/FkF_XpA5P48

  14.  @jrhandley  Yeah but it's supposed to be made up My Fellow Americans isn't it? It's supposed to be made of you're neighbors. They're not supposed to be an untrustworthy breed apart.

  15.  @hatework4282  Yeah, that's why they're allowed to be deployed on your soil isn't it? That and it makes them sound like wooden post enthusiasts and weekend warriors! 8/

  16.  @nickwilson8429  Oh no, right now it's a Covid thing, the police are our in force. Which is a good thing, the bloody Tories have ditched thousands of police over the last decade. Now we don't have enough to patrol in an emergency like covid so the even the ARUs are out. The ones that respond to incidents near the credit card factory do it because, will, it's a credit card factory

  17. Also, hot take everybody, guns are not banned in the UK. All firearms are licensed and some are restricted. So, restricted: Pistols. Automatic weapons. Destructive weapons (high ex, canons, missiles, weapons of mass destruction) Magazine size Everything else is licensed, tough need an FAC for each firearm. FAC requires you to apply to something and the police. You must provide a valid reason for owning said firearm. Valid reasons: Hunting Pest control Competition and recreational shooting Weapons of historic significance and value That's it. Apply for FAC. Install secure storage. Get interviewed. Storage inspected. Receive FAC Buy gun. Shoot gun. Your local gun club helps you do all that. That's it, now you own a gun 🤷🏻‍♂️ There's some rule about owning semi automatic in 22. If you do anything stupid, like walk around with your gun, leave it unattended and insecure, you go to jail forever and ever amen.

  18.  @pahwraith  Depends. Reasonable defense of your life is considered and part of law. But, this just doesn't happen here. People kill themselves with their guns, not other people. Thieves are there for your TV, not your life.

  19.  @nickwilson8429  Yes, if you walk around with a gun it's a crime, you go to jail. Our violent crime rates are lower than America. Because, and this is really important, violent crime rate is a function of inequality not insufficient guns. People being sensible with their guns? That's a function of social cohesion (government and people as one) There's no reason to carry a gun here because nobody is going to attack me, there is no reason to defend myself.

  20. I tell you, that mistrust you all harbor against each other is seriously holding you back. You need to start working together, not planning how to kill your neighbour.

  21.  @jrhandley  Well, nations are their cities and towns so, yeah. It doesn't matter if a politician is career or urban, I'm a career engineer, doesn't make me a bad engineer. Mostly we see red state turkeys voting for Christmas. Every republican senator and your entire executive branch need to be voted out and sterilised. What we don't understand, it's that even though the American right is so clearly and obviously revolting, why it still continues. It's not like you don't have mountains of evidence of them being literally revolting people. Like, they are the worst I saw an interview with Jon Stewart of the daily show, he was asked by journalists how they found the video evidence off politicians saying what they promised they hadn't said. He said, "we have VCRs and TiVo, there's just guys looking back over what they said and we catch them in lies" He then opined that he wished he could say the things they did. To which Jon replied, "why don't you?" I think you're watching the wrong door. You talk about 2nd amendment and tyrannical government. But, none of you are ever going to turn your guns on real people. Who do you shoot? Why? When? All together? One by one? Are you literally expecting trump brand storm troopers to march into town?? I think that you are watching the wrong door

  22.  James Harding  Which makes me wonder why they have actually weapons of war. Seems unnecessary?
