The electricity out and you think…. OK I’ll pop out and do a bit of shopping !!!

First of all the shops will close in a power cut including petrol stations.  Its a health and safety  thing.

Lets start off with what will work if there a power cut.

You can still buy these types of phone and they will work.

These wont, they need electricity

The question is simple: would you save up bits of old soap bars to make a new one?

No police in this country are unarmed though, they all carry tasers, which are much more dangerous than most people seem to think they are.

I have always been deeply distrustful of the police, i’m not sure how this is a surprise to you  :unsure:

That seriously is the stupidest thing you ever wrote.  Debating retards is a waste of my time.  It’s like trying to play chess with a houseplant.  There is no point for me to participate in this thread any longer.

Yes, there are background checks, but you also need those in the US to buy a gun.

Its not very much harder to get one, the difference is cultural not legal.

The main argument being made in this thread is that crime rates in the UK are lower because of ‘gun control’.…[Read more]

Doing that is probably illegal, but so is shooting people.
So I dont think that’s the problem.

Anyone who wants a gun can fairly easily obtain one, not sure where the ‘control’ is.

Even ignoring the bill of rights, class 2 firearm licences are shall issue, which means they cannot legally be refused and must be given to anyone who asks for one.

Not only is it legal, it is a right.

You can get AR-15’s in the UK.

Illegal ownership in the UK  ;-)

Even with control laws, people are still dying.

Radicalisation of young men

Gang crime 

School shootings

All have a common theme. Young people who feel they have nothing to lose. The suicide rate proves how despondent some aged between 14-25 are.  Its the reason they join gangs, radical groups or just shoot up a school.
