I like how Phil purposely makes these posts so he can sit back and laugh at the comments.
Phil = Ultimate Troll level ! :hehehe:
d'oh......It wasn't meant to be so, honest.
We have to accept that the USA and Europe are built on different foundations. Europe evolved over many hundreds of years through many wars (including civil wars)
Our rights to own weapons for self defence eroded many years ago here in Britain. We were allowed handguns for sporting use only and that was taken away from us in 1997 with the reform of the Firearms Act.
We are allowed Black Powder pistols and rifles (not self-loading though) and an oddity call Long Barrel Revolver that are modified handguns.
The USA was built by explorers and pioneers settling in a new land and having to defend themselves against wild animals and the indigenous population. We have no wild animals here that could be seen as a threat to man. No bears, wild cats or other nasty bastards they would have us for their lunch.
I frequently visit friends in Westport CT and while I feel safe in that town some of the other place we've stayed at I would have felt more comfortable having a handgun just to feel secure.
I owned handguns for decades and would shoot about 20,000 a year in practice and competitions, shooting was a passion and I say with every modesty, I'm good at it.
My four children would come to the range with me from the age of 5yrs using a single shot 22 Webley. As they got old they used multi shot handguns, my middle son became one of the youngest to be granted a Firearms certificate. None of them developed an unhealthy attitude to Firearms, they could strip/clean pistols and use any of our three Dillon reloading presses.
So I support anyone's rights to own a handgun for sporting/defence subject to the usual background checks.
Getting back to the video, would you trust that crazy-eyed idiot of a security guard?
