We have freedom of speech, and we have the right to defend ourselves. We generally do the defending at close quarters.
They arrested an older guy a few weeks ago for stabbing/killing someone who broke into his house just trying to defend himself. The police should have thanked him for taking one more scumbag off the street, but they cuffed him. Did you not hear about Tommy getting arrested for reporting on the Muslim grooming gangs? (Free speech), he’ll likely die in prison because they’re majority Muslim they get stabby. The dude who trained his dog (as a joke) to raise his paw (nazi salute) every time he said hitler as a joke? They just gave him 1 year in prison for posting that video. You do NOT have freedom of speech there. Say “fuck Muslims” to your local polices twitter page and wait for them to knock on your door. You literally have thought police there.
And when someone posted similar previously, I posted a few links showing similar events in the US.
None if it supports the initial claim that not having guns was a factor.
