And simply for defending his LIFE in the face of a multi-pronged (multiple person) home invasion. Easy for some monday morning quarterbacking, criminal apologist, second guessing socialist dickwad to explain away the circumstances in a way to make it seem as if the poor farmer is to blame! But this is the mindset of the totalitarian left, isn't it? The state is (or should be) all powerful, and everything and anything goes as long as it's in the name of "safety". Did you know that there's a movement afoot to outlaw pointy knives in England now? Won't be long before the citizens, er...."subjects" will all have to wear government approved safety mattresses so they wont be accidentally injured - for *safety's* sake of course. Un-fucking believable! Where is this shit going to end??<BR/><BR/>As for the intelligent, clear thinking people out there - always remember that it is a natural right for you to be able to defend yourself! Firearms allow you to do that. They allow a smaller, weaker person to defend themselves against a larger, stronger person. They allow you to put food on the table in the event there's an interruption of the food supply (not so unlikely, especially if oil is cut off!) They allow you to defend and protect your life and property in the event of civil unrest due to societal and/or governmental breakdown (be it temporary or permanent, localized or widespread). Anyone see what happened to law abiding citizens in New Orleans after the flood? Anyone see what happened to Korean store owners during the LA riots? And above all, firearms allow a person (or more importantly, *persons*) to resist a corrupt government. In fact, simply by their mere presence they keep potential tyrants in power at bay and in check - fearful of armed flyback should they overstep their bounds. The writers of the American Constitution understood this perfectly clearly. That's why they wrote it into our constitution - it is one of the fundamental checks and balances on governmental power. And it has nothing to do with the right to have and bear sporting goods! (or any such frivolous meaning) It's a last ditch ace in the hole in favor of THE PEOPLE. The government has a large organized military and police force, and the people have their own arms - just in case. It is a fundamental liberty that is directly tied to the preservation of ALL of our liberties - it must be kept sacrosanct! Don't let FOOLS talk you out of keeping your guns fellow citizens! Know your rights and understand where they come from and who wants to take them away. Take action locally and make your voices heard.

You can't just have it through "homicide" and "suicide." Try adding self-defense shootings through robbery or burglary... those numbers are the truth. Also, no man, woman, or child should have to run from HIS OR HER HOUSE if someone invades it... it's your castle... defend it. British... fight for your right to have arms.<BR/><BR/>The UN can try to get the US to legislate guns out of existance, but I GUARANTEE that they'll never succeed in disarming Americans b/c we know what that could turn into. Days after the first shots of the Revolutionary War, the Brits made a town of colonists hand in all of their weapons with the promise that they'd give them back... letters going to Gage and other military folks said otherwise. They fell back on their words and wouldn't let folks leave the town.

Why should I, as an American, be required to get a license to exercise a RIGHT. Do you have a license to exercise your First amendment right? Did you receive the "required training" ? Why is it O.K. to restrict and limit the secomd amendment but not the first.

I agree whoever produced this film has an agenda and a definite point of view, but the most powerful aspect of the video is simply letting ordinary Britons speak for themselves.<BR/><BR/>In many States in the USA, not only would Mr. Tony Martin have been ruled as having fired in self defense, the surviving accomplice would've been charged with *murder* for being criminally responsible for his partner's death. That may seem harsh, but that's the law in many states in the USA. The accomplice could still sue in US civil court, but he'd have to pay his own attorney, or find one willing to work pro bono, and most American juries would not look favorably upon such lawsuits by criminals against law-abiding homeowners. In any case the accomplice would not be out free in just three years, but put away for a very long time.<BR/><BR/>If the older criminal had been killed and the 16 year old survived, the 16 year old would still be charged with murder for being criminally responsible for his partner's death (because although shot by the homeowner in self-defense, the robbery itself created the deadly situation) and most likely tried as an adult by most US district attorneys.<BR/><BR/>In more recent news, a prominent British anti-gun activist was stabbed to death by her own grandson, who had been arrested earlier that same day for stabbing a railway employee but evidently released, enabling him to kill his grandmother. In the USA, someone arrested for assault with a deadly weapon is going to have to post very high bail and isn't going anywhere fast.<BR/><BR/>I can find no independent corroboration that the shooter in Seattle was mentally ill. He was in the wrong, though he was in fact struck first, and pulled his Glock pistol to use as a club; this was stupid and the shooting was accidental. He should rightly be stripped of his CCW license. <BR/><BR/>There are already laws barring felons and the mentally incompetent from purchasing firearms in the USA. Most states conduct very thorough background checks before issuing a concealed carry license. Statistically, concealed carry license holders are even more law abiding and better behaved than police officers on average.<BR/><BR/>The negative British commentators here so far are missing the point--this is not about sports, this is about a fundamental, basic human right to self defense. Something we upstart Yanks learned by reading very wise British scholars who would surely weep were they alive to see the state Britain is in today...men like Blackstone, et. al.<BR/><BR/>I would also like to see the USA Patriot Act repealed, but since such a horrendous piece of legislation does exist, it's all the more important that the 2nd Amendment to the US constitution be strengthened and defended. I think the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to do just that in the upcoming DC v. Heller case.<BR/><BR/>The path to the USA Patriot Act was paved by draconian anti-drug laws; "the War on Drugs" made the rights-destructive "War on Terror" possible.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, as my Irish friends never hesitate to point out, the UK is still a Monarchy with its "unwritten" constitution, thus you all have a much harder fight to regain lost liberty, having no written constitution to appeal to, only legal tradition. The Crown seems to have no opinion on the matter, at least not publicly, but why should the Monarch care--the guards at Buckingham Palace will always be armed and staffed by the very best of the British Army.<BR/><BR/>I don't like McCain OR Obama, for a whole lot of reasons and am not going to vote for either one. <BR/>But I will be renewing my NRA membership and my GOA membership, same as always. And I will renew my Texas CHL when the time comes.<BR/><BR/>I am actually very Left wing/populist (Socialist/Green with a touch of old school anarcho-syndicalism) but am rabidly pro RKBA all the way. Self-defense is a basic human right, that shouldn't be a matter of partisan debate. Eric Blair aka George Orwell favored private gun ownership among the working class, as did Eugene V. Debs in the USA.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for posting this video, it was eye opening and informative. Perhaps Britain is starting to wake up--we can only hope.JJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373297787542059116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369624442804261813.post-6255138428575788652008-06-14T19:06:00.000-07:002008-06-14T19:06:00.000-07:00wstpwstp no where in the BOR does it say you have ...wstpwstp no where in the BOR does it say you have to have a license, and the 2nd as with all the others are rights not granted but but owned, the BOR puts clamps on the government not the people, it states what the gov can not do.ghostmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367734316403474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369624442804261813.post-37339615117842353322008-06-14T19:00:00.000-07:002008-06-14T19:00:00.000-07:00you need to go live over there for a little while ...you need to go live over there for a little while wstpwstp and see what it's really like, i have friends from there who come over here and are planning to relocate here soon because of the high crime rate, london is now considered the most dangerous major city in the world.ghostmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367734316403474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369624442804261813.post-51568014361104976332008-06-13T12:59:00.000-07:002008-06-13T12:59:00.000-07:00Make no mistake about it, anyone who advocates fur...Make no mistake about it, anyone who advocates further gun control measures is advocating disarmament. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to read two books: "The Federalist Papers" and "Dial 911 and Die." The first outlines what the Founding Fathers really meant when they were drafting articles like the Constitution. The second book uses confirmed, real-life cases to demonstrate what happens when we rely on the government, and that includes the police, to protect us. As other posts have stated, it cannot be assumed that the burgler was simply after "stuff." I will never run from my own home because of the poor decision of a "child" who would more than likely become a repeat and violent offender. As for wstpwstp, I sure hope the cops come when you call.
