You are a very, very confused young man. But, let's pretend you're willing to learn, here are some population figures, a couple wikipedia pages and a brief history of gun politics / control in the United States / UK. When you're done reading all this, and, understand it contextually....Please, by all means, come back and apologize for making an utterly shameful ass out of yourself.
United States: 314,964,000
United Kingdom: 63,181,775
Estimated amount of firearms in the United States: 350,000,000
Estimated amount of firearms in the United Kingdom: 10,000,000

Clearly YOU aren't worried about the facts....As many of them do, but please, keep perpetuating lies to somehow enhance your point. I lived in the UK from 2006 to 2008 and I assure you, son, officers of the law in the United Kingdom can and do brandish firearms if needed.
The irony, ah, it's too good.... :wink:
