It's a little bit the same with (some) americans and their guns. Americans are the most gun owning people on the planet, so they rationalize with a patriotic filter and see this as something positive and special, its gotta be freedom, right, if I didn't have that gun the thugs would be on me instantly, but now with this gun they aren't. Better keep my fingers crossed to keep the vampires away, never been bitten with my fingers crossed.

In reality it really just is a lot of guns, and it doesn't reduce crime at all. A "freedom" who doesn't make people more free.
Better that than this:

Burglary victim told not to put up security 'in case it injures criminals'





A CHURCH Lawford woman recovering from a multi-thousand pound raid claims she was refused permission by police to install tighter security measures - in case it injured returning thieves.


As reported last week, the woman had antiques and personal items worth 'thousands' stolen from her home last month while she tended to her cancer-ridden brother.

Rugby Police investigated and gave the woman a crime-fighting manual advising on upgrading security.

However, when she enquired about installing a new security fence at her home, she was informed occupier liability rules meant she risked investigation herself if trespassers hurt themselves climbing over it.

Baaaaaa like a good sheep now, and make sure you don't make it at all difficult for the wolves to take what they please.

Pass, thanks.
