I'm from the UK, but I emigrated to the US in 2009. It was basically a dream come true for a firearms enthusiast. I'll never take my Second Amendment rights for granted, and I do my best to introduce as many new people as possible to shooting. EDIT: I'd just like to say thank you to all the well-wishers. I apologize for not replying individually, but it would he a full-time job! I have actually been here in the US for half my adult life now. I am a US citizen, and I consider myself to be American.

One bit of American history is the high number of British Army soldiers that refused to return to England after the American Revolutionary War. They just disappeared in the forests. Same with those that went to Nova Scotia that disappeared in the forests of Canada. Mostly because they didn't have anything to return to in England or Scotland. Sometimes it's better to go with the devil you don't know, not the devil you know. All they needed to do was go west until you found a spot to make a life on a farm. The Hessian mercenaries did the same. Instead of returning to one of the German Principalities. They also disappeared in the forest and disappeared. Again no reason to return to Europe. Go back to Europe and return to poverty.

"Why not train kids in school?" We used to! Back in the 50's and early 60's high schoolers were trained NRA gun safety in school OR at Boy Scouts. And even in the 70's come deer season, there were more shotguns and rifles hanging in truck racks and in car trunks in my high school's parking lot than there were at the nearest gun shop!

Culture matters. Opportunity is a lie. You live in a city,. A walk, a short bike ride, a quick ride on public transport= all the opportunity in the country. People will back up their shit and move their entire life from rural America to a city for said opportunity right next to these people claiming they don't have any opportunity! Opportunity is a euphemism for these people that means these people just won't give me the free stuff that I think I deserve! You want to see "no opportunity". Go visit a small town somewhere like Kansas. Go to Parsons for example. "No opportunity". Nothing to do etc. Every excuse you could want to possibly make for the typical violent thug behavior. It's not the environment,. It's not blah blah blah. It's the people and their culture.

I'm a Brit, here since 1995, became a citizen of this great country, decided to love her and not leave her, love shooting, love 2A. I share a lot of your views Paul, and you Colion. Education is everything, shooting is great fun but can so easily go wrong, safety is everything. Education is everything, especially in the potential minefield of everyday carry. I'm a certified instructor, competitive shooter and USCCA member amongst others. Keep it up fellas, great work.

[@MBB563]

2A is huge .....its number 2 ..not three or four or ten in our Constitution....that tells you how important it was to the forefathers ....and they gave that right to the states, not the federal govt. They were worried if the federal govt regulated the right to bear arms then you can have a corrupt president or congress that can take away or abolish gun rights, weakening the power of the people. The states have that right only, and it's part of a check balance to remind the govt that they answer to "we the people". Same with elections, the feds do not control the elections, only the states....that way you can avoid corruption or fraud in the hands of the federal govt or in the hands of a dictatorship in the WH. Each state has to certify regulate and dictate the procudures on how to vote. The same with the military, President cannot mobilize the armed forces inside the US, only the states, or the GOVERNORS. President can mobilize the armed forces outside the US. Again designed to weaken a federal system so dictortarship or king would not be empowered to take over. I realized we are the only country that has the right to bear arms.....in Canada UK Australia and the rest of the world, it's a privilege....that is dangerous. You have a God given right to defend yourself. That is not a privilege. The 1st, freedom of speech and 2nd amendment is so important, that you remove those two rights alone, you automatically become a slave to the state, the state owns you, you literally become a slave like the Roman times, and democracy can collapse.

[@franksanta-teresa971]

I got into a bit of an online argument with one of your fellow Brits on Quora regarding self protection. He said that in the UK you're allowed to protect yourself but you're not allowed to carry any weapons on your person. You are not allowed, in public, to carry a baseball bat. If you do, you'd better have a baseball glove and a few baseballs and be on your way to or going home from baseball practice. Also, you're not allowed to carry pepper spray, stun guns, or knives either but nonlocking pocket knives are okay...as long as the blade is not over 3 inches in length.

[@Planet-Bertie]

@@franksanta-teresa971In Britain, a ‘weapon’ is whatever a ‘policeman’ (read ‘policy enforcer’ - all police ‘forces’ are registered on Dun & Bradstreet as ‘corporations’) deems it to be. In other words, if you are carrying say a wax crayon and when asked, tell a policeman’ that it’s for protection, you will be arrested; you can be arrested for defending yourself - our glorious leaders do not want an armed populace.

[@haroldbell213]

I remember when the British government took away most all of their fire arms. They were in huge piles at the scrap yard. And into the furnace they went. Guns that were in families for generations. Some were gold or silver coated and inlayed with gems. Australia also did like wise. I think it's single shot only. The real crocodile Dundee had a shoot out with police. He had a single shot and police had multi shot weapons.He lost. They made it difficult to own guns.

I was in high school in the 1970's. We had a gun range IN THE SCHOOL. It was at the JROTC Department in the same building as classes going on just upstairs. We had 22's for marksmanship, M1903 rifles for drill and ceremonies, and full-auto M14 rifles for field training. We fired 22's in the range on a regular basis during class to earn shooting badges and awards. We kept all of the weapons in our JROTC arms vault. The M14's were hand-me-down rifles from the US Army as they were fielding M16's. We didn't fire the the M-14's in the range, but we had them for field exercises where we would fire blanks. And, I remember so many pickup trucks in the parking lot with rifles or shotguns on a gun rack in the rear window of the cab. Nobody ever misused a gun and nobody ever got shot at school. But, we learned and knew so much more about respecting firearms. It was completely normal and accepted by all. Today, all of that is completely unacceptable yet we have more shootings than ever.

Another thing that people love to leave out about firearms in the UK is Northern Ireland. The sheer amount of illegal firearms in the North is staggering. It is legal to own a pistol in NI and it is the only part of the UK where you can own a pistol. The reason is as most will know the Troubles, and the sectarian violence and paramilitary groups that came with it. I live in the Republic of Ireland and even though most IRA weapons were decommissioned after the peace agreement, there are still thousands of weapons that weren't destroyed, especially from splinter groups that oppose the peace. A lot of these ended up on the black market here. I'm talking pistols, shotguns, bolt action rifles, submachine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, even RPGs, mortars and hand grenades.

Brit here. The reality here is that the vast majority of us know where the areas in our town where the gangs are that use weapons in their turf wars and we just don’t go there, so we never see it. I work in tv and was involved in a tv documentary that was shown on channel five earlier this year which followed the police investigating a gang. It basically started from CCTV footage of young men running around attacking each other with machetes, developed into identifying and taking down a gang of drug dealers. When the police took down the gang, when they broke down the door of an apartment and piled in, arresting all the gang members in there, all those cops all had tasers. No firearms were used and the firearms officers were not called in. And of course we as film makers had a conversation with the police about what we showed on tv, and those things we agreed not to show are things that I’m never going to talk about (the fact that I signed an NDA is irrelevant, it’s a matter of principle). But our cops took down violent criminals without using firearms and as a Brit I’m proud of that.
