Good few years back, there was a home invasion up the road to where I used to live. Not a flash house, ordinary 3 bed semi in a close of houses just like it, mondeo on the drive, just an ordinary family……half a dozen dudes broke in in the middle of the night, all carrying weapons of some description, tied up the husband, wife and two little primary school age kids (girls) and tortured the f***ing life out of them half the night for a PlayStation, keys to the car and shits and giggles ! Its not even that unusual, home invasions are happening all the time now days in the U.K. I bet if you asked that bloke today if he’d wished he had a Glock he’d say yes…..and he’d have never harmed anyone outside of those bunch of animals who deserved it. I don’t even shoot any more, my guns stay in the house but if someone breaks in they are copping the Winchester and some heavy load and I’ll be safe and they won’t be doing it to anyone else. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,811 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just now, Gene said: I get that and agree with your sentiment mate but add a little twist to that story just to play devils advocate. Chances are even though these people were armed they did not intend on using their weapons, well, that's a fact because they didn't. Now if you pull out your Winchester that changes the ball game completely. You might wipe one off the face of the earth but by doing so there's a good chance that you are going to cop it as well. Your act would have been heroic no doubt but that would be no bonus for your or your family. They had them and they used them, life means absolutely f**k all to these animals…..these days, some people would kill you for a laugh ! No exaggeration mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we think we ain’t there yet, think again….. UK doesn't have the same mindset as the states,it really is a lot more civilised, the people aren't conditioned or inured to gun violence, one thing that surprises me about Canada, sure there's gun violence, even a bloke dressed as a copper last year to go on a murder rampage, but given the close proximity to the states the weekly/daily spree killings haven't caught on here. 4 minutes ago, Astanley said: Dunblane And the UK clamped down on pistol ownership rabidly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
