Every paragraph in this article makes important points and is well worth the time to read it all. It should be shared widely.
“If we want to be realistic, we’d have to ban all guns for a ban to be effective, or at least all semi-automatic guns and revolvers, but then if we wanted to be realistic, we would look at places like England to see what those places really look like, in terms of all of the ways people can kill people, and not just in terms of guns. When we look at the facts – all of the facts – covering all of the different ways people can be killed, we have fewer mass killing incidents than do many other places, where there are no legal guns. Unless one wishes to take the position that it is better to kill 100 people with a bomb than 10 people with a gun, we would be stupid to follow England’s lead.”
I’ve been to London a couple of times, and one of the most intriguing things I see every time I go, are the ISIS protests.
London seems to have one of these protests almost every day – thousands of Islamic people marching through the capital of England, proudly carrying ISIS flags, and chanting such catchy phrases as, ‘Death to the U.K.! Death to the U.S.A!’ And yet, many in America think England, with its strict anti-gun laws, is safer than is the United States.
I thought it might be interesting to take a good hard look at just how different post-gun England is from the gun-infested U.S.A.. I’ve always thought it was silly to separate out gun deaths from other sorts of deaths, so rather than looking only at gun death rates, I wanted to look at homicides, terrorist attacks, mass killings – all things related to crime and death – together, to see just how much more peaceful England is than is the United States.
One of the first things I found is that England is not gun-free. Not only do the British stockpile guns, but also howitzers, machine guns, and hand grenades. It turns out that banning guns does not take them away from those who do not care about the law. In the case of England (and the rest of Europe), these stockpiles are coming through Belgium, and being hidden largely in mosques, in preparation for jihad. As you can see from the Tariq Ramadan quote attached to the picture on this post, Islam is very open about its goals: “We are not here to adopt Western values. We are here to colonize the US and Canada, and spread Islamic Sharia Law. Canada has one of the easiest legal systems to penetrate and advance Sharia from within – but if that doesn’t work, we won’t hesitate to use violent Jihad.”
I fact-checked this quote before posting it. It’s legitimate, and Tariq Ramadan is a professor at England’s Oxford University, where he is free to teach England’s children to either kill in the name of jihad, or to die by jihad.
