When the going gets tough, the tough brush up on their rifle skillsMarch 22nd, 2015 |

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Fancy being allowed to defend oneself. Wouldn’happen here, British politicians don’t believe in self defence.
That was pretty much my feeling too Barry.
DANG! And I was ready to bet a fair sum that Moldova would be next!
The US is pretty much an oddity when it comes to guns. You would think that every Israeli Jew should be allowed to conceal carry, but they can not. The Swiss have a military rifle at home I believe, but the rest of the West is pretty unarmed. Everyone I know here in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming has a concealed carry permit. It is why having been born in NYC I would never go back. Only the criminals have guns there and if they want to draw a gun they know there is no opposition. Lousy feeling to have.
Here in the UK we have many police and community police folks to keep the peace, and maybe keep out evil invaders.
So we have no need of guns as our beneficent rulers protect us.
Oh, we have some sort of Army too, but not many of them and they are all off fighting ebola in Africa
Quite wrong there – the British MP’s certainly believe in defending themselves, mainly from the masses of the great unwashed. Have you seen the number of uniformed and armed police around Westminster and Whitehall.
The British were disarmed by their own government because that government feared an armed uprising by the people more than the consequences of denying people the right to defend themselves.
As the saying goes – “When every second counts, the police are only minutes away”.
How many Galts are there? Can’t you choose, or make up, your own names?
John, I understand your point, but these armed police only provide a measure of deterrence in limited areas, around the government buildings and some airports. The rest of us are either denied or limited in our capacity to defend ourselves. While this is not quite as insane a stance as it has been, there have been instances where people have defended themselves in their homes for example and escaped State sanction, nevertheless in general the powers that be here are hostile to the concept of self defence.
Even political candidates!!!!!!!
