Britain serves as a case study in what happens when you pass laws that disarm the good people. The bad people ignore them and keep doing bad things. Britain is what lies at the bottom of the slippery slope.

This is a Catch-22. The arrest you for carrying a knife you are allowed to carry for work, then fine you, and then let you keep the knife because you need it for work. Why? So they can start the cycle again, I guess.

OK, I'll admit context is everything. The screwdriver, needle nose pliers and scissors could be used as stabbing weapons. No on the file and pliers. Advertising this seizure makes the officers look like fools. In Britain that's apparently encouraged. Poor Bobbies.

I might also add that this is what lies at the bottom of the slippery slope.

Two guys break into a house...

...and use a screwdriver to attack the homeowner. The homeowner defends himself with a knife and kills one of the intruders. Guess who gets arrested for homicide? In Great Britain, the homeowner.

Not the first time.

This kind of shit is what we in America can look forward to if David Hogg and the Parkland children and the big money backing them get their way.

I cite those celebrity assaults not because celebrities are more prone to wind up as crime victims than anyone else, but only because the measure of a civilized society is how easily you can insulate yourself from its snarling underclass. In America, if you can make it out of some of the loonier cities, it’s a piece of cake, relatively speaking. In Britain, if even a rock star or TV supremo can’t insulate himself, nobody can. In any society, criminals prey on the weak and vulnerable. It’s the peculiar genius of government policy to have ensured that in British society everyone is weak and vulnerable –from Norfolk farmers to Tom Cruise’s neighbor.

And that’s where America is headed if those million marching moms make any headway in Washington: Less guns = more crime. And more vulnerability. And a million more moms being burgled, and assaulted, and raped. I like hunting, but if that were the only thing at stake with guns, I guess I could learn to live without it. But I’m opposed to gun control because I don’t see why my neighbors in New Hampshire should have to live the way, say, my sister-in-law does–in a comfortable manor house in a prosperous part of rural England, lying awake at night listening to yobbo gangs drive up, park their vans, and test her doors and windows before figuring out that the little old lady down the lane’s a softer touch.

Read the whole article. It applies now more than ever.
