Wapenbezit: geen probleem
Wapendracht vind ik niet zo'n goed idee. Iemand zal maar eens over de rooie gaan met alle gevolgen van dien.
Waar ik wel voor ben is om het bezit van pepperspray en dergelijke toelaten. Het is pijnlijk, niet fataal maar kan m.i. antwoord bieden in geval van overval, aanranding,...

Feit blijft wel dat wanneer wapendracht algemeen is diegene die over de rooie gaat weinig kans maakt om veel slachtoffers te maken.
Hier is een interessant artikel over Londen rond de eeuwwisseling

Citaat:
We are so self-congratulatory about our officially disarmed society, and so dismissive of colonial rednecks, that we have forgotten that within living memory British citizens could buy any gun – rifle, pistol, or machinegun – without any licence. When Dr Watson walked the streets of London with a revolver in his pocket, he was a perfectly ordinary Victorian or Edwardian. Charlotte Brontë recalled that her curate father fastened his watch and pocketed his pistol every morning when he got dressed; Beatrix Potter remarked on a Yorkshire country hotel where only one of the eight or nine guests was not carrying a revolver; in 1909, policemen in Tottenham borrowed at least four pistols from passers-by (and were joined by other armed citizens) when they set off in pursuit of two anarchists unwise enough to attempt an armed robbery. We now are shocked that so many ordinary people should have been carrying guns in the street; the Edwardians were shocked rather by the idea of an armed robbery.

Londen (met het hedendaagse totale verbod in de UK op handvuurwapens, nepvuurwapens, messen, samoeraizwaarden, glazen flessen en pinten in pubs, etc) is nu één van de geweldadigste steden in de Westerse wereld.

A legal challenge has been raised against plans to for a total ban on glasses in Glasgow's pubs and clubs.
The Scottish Beer and Pub Association (SBPA) has lodged papers at the Court of Session opposing the enforced use of toughened or plastic glasses.
The licensing board agreed on the ban, which will be rolled out in January, to reduce injuries from violence.
Glass was banned in pubs and clubs with late night entertainment licences earlier this year.

A UNITED Nations report has labelled Scotland the most violent country in the developed world, with people three times more likely to be assaulted than in America.
England and Wales recorded the second highest number of violent assaults while Northern Ireland recorded the fewest

Een wapenloze maatschappij is een veilige maatschappij. Yeah right

Stalin: "The only real power comes out of a long rifle."
En hij verbood prompt alle particulier wapenbezit. Stalin was immers niet zo geïnteresseerd in democratie (waar het volk de macht bezit).
