No, no, just a broken bottle. Common covert carry around here.
Cookie Monster, say it isn’t so!!!
And, they apparently put Cookie on a diet! He’s to thin! Maybe he’s starving because he has no weapon to defend himself against bullies.
C is for Carry, and that’s good enough for me.
You win the internet for today.
Ha ha ha well he was released from rehab where he was featured in several family guy episodes.
So if you look at the pic of who this is in memory of and type in his name you can read that he was stabbed to death, I’m sorry to say it like this but I would bet he wishes he could have carried.
I bet he wishes that the other guy wasn’t carrying a knife but just punched him actually so he’d still be alive just my 2 pennies worth
The other guy was not “carrying” a knife for personal protection, he was wielding a deadly weapon and committing a crime. If you can’t see the difference then you are truly quite dim.
My reply simply states that if the other guy wasn’t carrying a knife in the first place regardless of criminal intent he’d be alive if you can’t understand that your an idiot who can’t comprehend the words I have written you imbecile
Ok, it’ll bite.
Bobby, try thinking outside of the box. If someone wants to kill, they will find a way. If you want to ban knives because they can stab, try banning water, because you can drown someone with it. Better ban oil, soda, cleaning solution, while at it.
The trunk of my car is full of things that can be used defensively or offensively.
We comprehend the words you have written. we see them for how stupid they are.
I don’t want to ban Anything, at what point have I said ban anything?? The biggest message in this whole thing is how tragic we have become that taking life a life is everyday stuff and it doesn’t even make the news so much to the point where events like this are needed to make people aware of what’s going on I’ve seen shit that people should never see as a combat medic serving multiple tours in Afghan and Iraq and killing in conflict is bad enough but to waste life over property the only death anyone should have is in old age after a good life so yeah go ahead and bite you fool but at least read what I have written and don’t make up shit that I haven’t written anywhere
And is it so stupid to say that no one regardless of intent should carry weapons ??? This proves your mentality
What the mentality where life is sacred ??? I can live with that thanks
Hahahahahaha we fell for the hugs for all troll.
Remind me again, WHO needed their asses pulled out of the fire in WWII by the AMERICAN NRA? Just sayin’… Granddad used to talk about sending his rifle to England for THEIR protection.
Guess history forgets.
WTF is right, SSD…
Does this mean these fine folks think the Specialist Firearms Command of the Met are cowards too, seeing as they carry weapons? /sarcasm
Piss on these hoplophobic, fear-induced campaigns against anything remotely weapons related, and using cuddly children’s characters to brainwash them young. This really is nothing more than blatant statist propaganda.
I agree with Reverend, Who had to have OUR help against Germany back in WWII? It wasn’t us….hint, hint.
As idiot checks go, that’s a pretty nifty one. Darwin would be proud.
Just like you in America we too have a problem with a criminal element who carry concealed weapons our problem is knives and blades yours are semi auto rifles, pistols and shotguns and edged weapons, the references to ww2 seam a bit odd to me,mabye a bit stupid, self centred and off message for the subject we were fighting the Germans for quite a while in Europe, Africa and the Middle East before you came along, anyway this article highlights a particular problem we have is that weapons always end up in the wrong handswhile the problem you have is guns in the wrong hands
+1 on the head scratching over WW2-references.
It amazes me how we “hold on to history” when it suits our purposes, but insist that “the past is the past” when acknowledging history DOES NOT suit our purposes.
If you can carry the pride of (allegedly) pulling England’s ass out of the fire during WW2, then please also carry the shame of all the stupid imperialist s#!t we’ve pulled since Jamestown.
Well said…WW2 is also when we imprisoned some of our citizens without due process just because of their ethnicity, a concept that seems to be resurfacing in a different context.
They were in reference to an NRA program in which American citizens shipped their guns to the British for use on the homefront. The British ,being generally a disarmed population ,could not stand up home guard type units otherwise.
I actually agree with this post, we do have a problem in this country with guns falling into the wrong hands.
We would do well to learn from the British gun laws and culture.
Your view is 100% justified from 1776 onward in your nations history.
I do think we have gone too far the other way to the point where even replica or airsoft weapons require a level of registration albeit low level to purchase and yes I would as a responsible citizen like to be allowed more flexibility in ownership of firearms
Defo a culture issue in this contry the biggest firearms issues we face is foreign gangs Ie east European,Turkish and west Indian gangs bringing their gang culture here and with it the weapons whereas before gun crime was predominantly contained between the criminal elements themselves also the rise of American style “hood” gangs and kids trying to imitate what the see in movies is bringing gun crime into the mainstream, we’ve had football gang holiganism for decades but they tend to (but not always) stay away from weapons enjoying a punch up instead
“We would do well to learn from the British gun laws and culture.”
No.
I agree stick with making your own
Yes, but at least in America, sane people without criminal backgrounds also have the means to protect themselves from the repeat offenders with illegal weapons, and (usually) not face weapons or assault charges of their own for doing so.
Meanwhile, I have read too many stories of British home and shop owners who’ve faced charges and prison time for defending themselves and their livelihoods from violent criminals. Your laws even state that self defense is not a valid reason to acquire a firearm. Furthermore, you prosecute owners of legal firearms if they d happen to use them for that purpose!
We help fight violent crime with our ability to fight back. Your approach instead seems to be promoting unarmed paranoia, a general fear of anything “pointy” or “boomy”, and an overabundance of trust in “the system”.
So what’s your point?
If you look at several cases where weapons have been used during “self defence you’ll find that many where used after the fact, Ie after the crime happened not during that’s not self defence is it ? Just like ROE you have to justifie to the law when you discharge a weapon self defence isn’t shooting someone in the back when they’re fleeing a crime scene or beating someone with a cricket bat because they stole a mars bar or a can of Coke there are several cases particularly during periods of unrest there where some extensive riots a few years ago due to a violent drug dealer with a gun being shoot by the police where shop owners a business people defended there property and themselves valiently and saw no repercussions,
Also what checks are in place to check the mental stability of a potential firearms owner?? Not a trick question just wondering ??? And what would happen if a current firearm owner had a mental breakdown ? Are there interoperable systems between healthcare and other agency’s to remove those firearms while the owner recovers?? Genuine questions as I have limited knowledge of your local or federal laws
Direct from my state’s police agency:
http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms.shtm
By the way, it is nice to see you have genuine questions and a willingness to learn the intricate differences between our laws and yours, and not just droning on about “dumb Yanks and their effing guns” as so many of your countrymen have done of late. 🙂
I believe everyone should use what they can within the constraints of the law to defend themselves because if properly enforced the can protect innocent people such as your ccw sheepdog types alongside the police and other agency’s you guys just need to work together a bit more, just my opinion I’m sure I’ll get a load of abuse for saying that
Mental stability? How are you supposed to determine that? Any mental stability check would very easily be turned into a straight up weapon ban when whoever’s in charge decides that wanting a weapon in and of itself is a sign mental instability. In the state’s that have tried that, California used their gun registry to seize guns belonging to anyone they decided wasn’t mentally fit. That, somewhat famously, included seizing guns from a man whose wife had voluntarily checked herself into a clinic for depression and been discharged several years earlier. To the California government she was mentally unstable and he couldn’t have any guns because of that.
But as for laws. The background checks required by to purchase a gun are supposed to include records of if a court has made a determination about the person’s mental state that would prevent them from possessing a gun. The same system is used by most states in issuing carry permits.
In that particular case (I don’t know all the details) on the surface seems overly zealous but as I say don’t know the details how were the weapons stored etc what are the regulations on weapon storage there?? I have a couple of shotguns and a .22wmr and all ammo and weapons need to be stored in police approved safes/cabinets
How they’re stored is irrelevant. Doctors determined she no longer suffered from depression. The state said she’s still mentally unfit. Additional there was no conversation about storage, does she have access to the guns, etc. This is why “mental stability” checks are worthless. Without any way to contest them (such as through a court as we’re supposed to do in the U.S.) they’re just a tool to take guns from regular people. Just like registries.
As I said,it seems over zealous but surely (as we have here) there is recourse to contest this through local or state or federal lines ?? Fortunately the dialogue we have with the police when it comes to legal firearms is pretty good in this contry as I found out when I was accused of brandishing a firearm in public ( I was cleaning my rifle in the garden) by a neighbour, police came spoke to me took my weapons went to court and WITH police support got them back, a good common sense local legal system is great, yours just seems overly complex and weird (to me anyway)
Only recourse is to go to court challenging the law. If you’re very lucky it’ll get declared unconstitutional in around 5 years. The guns will have long since been destroyed. Planning for common sense in enforcement is a terrible way to write laws.
Our laws really aren’t complex. It’s just that you have federal, state, and local laws. They are often written by people who’s sole goal is getting rid of guns period.
So quite a long process or is it just a case of a slow judicial system???
It would go through multiple appeals. Whoever loses will appeal to the next highest court.
The problem is not one that is addressed by more laws… existing laws, as written, would suffice if fully enforced across the board. The laws and checks in place do prevent the majority of individuals who shouldn’t be buying or obtaining weapons in the first place from doing so. But as you know, criminals don’t care about laws and will do what they please to achieve their means.
The “gun show loophole” you’ll hear about is a red herring. Every single time I’ve bought a gun at a show, I’ve had to wait for the background check, which does include verification of records relating to mental health determinations made by the courts. Mental health is also a section of the long form ATF4473. Lying on this form constitutes perjury and is a felony. (Which in turn would also make the offender ineligible to purchase or own a weapon.)
I can think of one perfect historical example of just such irisponsible firearms ownership … Lexington and concord.
The point that Reverend was making relates to the set of facts that Britain formerly HAD a strong and vigorous “gun culture”. Heck, even “the right to bear arms” arises from English common law and is specified as a RIGHT by Blackstone. Until historically very recently (1920’s) a rather sizeable portion of the adult middle and upper classes carrying concealed pistols as an effective means of protection against rampant crime during the later 1800s and early 20th Century. Sam Colt built a pistol factory in the UK to satisfy the demand! Other vigorous segments of British society were deeply involved in shotgun hunting and rifle experimentation, training, and competition (up through the international level, via the National Rifle Association of the UK). Britain, England in particular, was a moderately well-armed nation of largely peaceable and resolute people, who were increasingly seeing themselves, and acting, more as independent CITIZENS than as servile SUBJECTS – and this trend could not be allowed by the statist, leftist political class which took over between the World Wars. Therefore, with corrupt intent, laws were passed effectively disarming the British populace.
I believe the SPECIFIC point of Reverend’s comment was that, in the wake of Dunkirk, with the (aerial) Battle of Britain about to kick-off, actual INVASION of Britain was a very real and likely threat – and, thanks to the gun confiscation laws, there were almost NO weapons available for airfield defense, the Home Guard, or any resistance movement. Nothing to make good on Churchill’s “We shall fight them on the beaches…, etc”.
In response to request of HM’s government, a huge campaign was launched in the US (I believe managed by the NRA) for American gun owners to donate/”Lend” very large numbers of suitable rifles, pistols, equipment, and optics (binoculars and telescopes) for an emergency re-armament of our shamefully disarmed and reeling English cousins, while the mighty “Arsenal of Democracy” was being cranked up to speed.
I love Britain, my many British friends and comrades, and what that nation once was and hopefully will one day again be, but there is no escaping that today the UK is in a state of advanced decay (considerably more advanced than the US, at present). This sort of hoplophobic mindset is a symptom of a twisted world-view, an inverted morality, and a vicious, anti-human political class.
“There is no England now” – The Clash
This is the best post I have seen in a very long time. Well said.
As I’m sure your aware ww2 was a big thing, the British manufacturing infrastructure was straining to produce equipment to send all over the world Australia, India, Middle East, Indo China, Africa, the Far East,fighting Germans Japanese Italians and due to this service rifles where in short supply and weapons in general where in short supply as production switched to military equipment that is why civilian weapons of all types where thrust into service by home guard units all over the uk, no we didn’t have enough weapons but then I’m sure in the 1940s America wouldn’t have had enough weapons to arm all civilians and military (and just a little historical note the NRA did that particular program because the govt of the USA wouldn’t supply equipment at that time because they didn’t want to get involved) it wasn’t until the Germans expanded into Russia and link up with axis power Japan that America saw them as a threat and entered the war, before that us policy was that war in Europe was not their concern
But again still irrelivent to this post
Not produced for us Aussies (although we did get specialized weapons off you) we had our own armoury (and still do) at Lithgow
Give AbnMedOps a cookie or some upvotes or internet points or something! Good response.
It was a brilliant response I congratulate him I give him cookie monsters cookie
Agreed. From One paratrooper to another. AATW
Can we get him a medal or an SSD patch?
reverend & usaeod911…wtf?
how can this picture send you mentally to WW2? i don’t don’t if it is more disturbing that you don’t comprehend the situation at hand(picture), or (even worse) that you just start to rant something because you find a connection nobody else does?
Fags.
so we will see cookie monster on in the next highlight at 5PM… stabbed to death for his milk money…
cause what good is having cookies if you have no milk to go with?
This just in, British organization calls military, police, and armed citizens cowards for being armed. More at 5.
Hahahaha I think you’ve taken this completely out of context bud, we prefer a bit of a punch up it’s only ratty little buggers who pull a knife because they couldn’t punch there way out of a wet paper bag who carry knives, I personally carry a very bright flashlight to blind them a bit and a benchmade pen it’s amazing how much pain you can inflict without killing (with training of course) sure I understand it’s not much use against a gun but we don’t really have that much of a problem here but a guy with a knife who can’t see properly is easier to deal with. A growing problem is with the clamp down on concealed knives and edged weapons is the increased use of aggressively trained dogs as weapons (seriously I’m not making this up)
Very smart, you can try to blind him with a flashlight while signing your name on his left arm with your benchmade pen and then after he leaves you for dead because he has a superior weapon, you can use your flashlight to signal for help in the dead of night.
Even if you were able to stun him and not kill him, since you British don’t believe in the eradication of evil, he can testify against you in court!
Great thing about the benchmade is it is solid and if used correctly against pressure points ( we do things called training look it up it comes in the same category as education) and if you comprehend not killing someone you are a destitute human being as long as you can justify yourself what’s wrong with going to court unless you’ve done something stupid or wrong???? And one to try at home mate take a 300+ lumen torch and shine into someone’s face 10-20 meters and see how effective it is at blinding them and yes I get it it’s not going to stop you getting shot but we’re talking knives here that few moments it gives you could get you out of a dangerous situation
I’m not your mate and you can continue to use an AMERICAN made tool to protect yourself from the cookie monsters with knives while blowing your rape whistle. Tally ho good chap!
Yeah we don’t say that and haven’t since about 1945 but good effort
nwjeep…you are just poor…
With the British being pansies like this, it’s no wonder we won the revolutionary war. But hey, we are there to help when they need it. And with programs like this, they will need it.
Good contribution well done take a bow
I’ve found the salty Brit! *bows*
I thought it was Limey ???? More acidic
Didn’t want to hurt your precious feelings
Fortunalty I take this for what it is a bunch of guys who don’t know much about each other’s cultures on an Internet forum
Got to love the perspective of history according to a Septic Tank (yank), probably gleaned from Holywood. The war of independence was Briton fighting Briton, probably your first civil war. And in fairness the British were a little busy taking over a sub continent at the to care too much about America you might know it as the British Raj. That little bit of land that made up a small piece of the biggest empire the world ever saw.
As for knife carrying in the UK, it is actually perfectly legal to carry a none locking folding knife with a cutting edge of less than 3″. For all other knives you need a good reason which the person carrying must prove.
It may actually educate your readers that only a small number of police officers in the UK are armed, and I mean a very small percentage, the average front line Bobby is not and deals with everything from violent domestics to terrorist incidents and everything in between. Hardly cowards in my book. But hey.
It would be interesting for you to know that there aren’t enough armed officers in the UK but police officers don’t want to do it. It offers no special pay and only opens the officer up to additional scrutiny if the pistol is used.
By the way, you’ve obviously not heard of the 17th century English Civil War which led to Cromwell’s reign.
And they wonder why we rip on them so much.
British are cowards, then again the rest of the western world is
Don’t worry we rip on you too ?
I’m Ron Burgundy?
No I’m Ron burgundy
Oy! Stop your crime or I’ll blow my whistle loud!
Toot! Toot!
Here now! Whats all this?
He’s making crime guvna. Blow your whistle!
Toot! Toot! Toot! Toot!
you guys are funny hahahaha
Well, I think “coward” is coming down pretty hard, and I think a bit hypocritical. I’m betting most people including the nice folks in the pic are not courageous enough to go unarmed in the face of real danger. Even British cops call for armed backup when necessary.
Still, fear is the primal urge that underlies carrying. The next question would be is your fear reasonable i.e., is there a reasonable threat to your safety that necessitates going armed or are you walking around in your fear bunker? I don’t carry – I have no reason to, thank God.
Obviously this campaign is youth-oriented. Well intended I’m sure but I doubt if it will make a difference.
I think the point is in the heat of the moment when the red mist descends your more likely to use a knife if you have one in your pocket without thinking of the cosiquences punching and kicking can still have a potential to kill but a knife has a higher potential to kill and yes your right to the criminals who do carry this will make no difference at all but it’s trying to educate albeit badly and at least they’re trying just like you’re NRA and others are trying to educate non gun owners about safe legal ownership of weapons
The U.K. is a trainwreck. They don’t even want you to have a proper steak knife in a restaurant.
I love visiting England, but they’ve got issues. Despite laws making all of this illegal, bad guys still get guns and hand grenades and still use common household cutlery to cut each other.
We don’t need steak knives because we cook steaks properly hahahaha
But seriously mate we know we have criminals and terrorists but does that mean we should all be walking around in Kevlar vests armed to the teeth it’s not afghan, and I truly don’t see the point of your post if you read the other posts in this thread all these points about criminal elements have been covered
The one time in my life I’ve gotten food poisoning was from improperly cooked meat in London. These days I’m very particular about where I eat while in town.
Really from steak?? To be fair I avoid fish in all but good restaurants in London Try the new bistro grill at the victory club cracking food and reasonable prices for London
Didn’t they ban glass pint glasses too? I could have sworn I saw an article about that years ago.
No never got banned but some pubs after a certain time or if it’s a known trouble spot will use plastic or if it’s near kicking out will use plastic cups so you can take your drink with you they did change to tempered glass for a while but they kept breaking
Anyway SSD your point for this post wasn’t to poke fun at us Brits was it ??? Hahahaha I’m sure it was a genuine article to show different approaches to different problems wasn’t it hahahahaha you yanks are funny
It was definitely to poke fun at the culture that created a people afraid of kitchen knives.
So you took a community event to bring knife crime and it’s dead victim to the attention of the public and put it here to mock them ??? That would be like me putting a picture of crying parents after another school massecre at a gun control rally to mock you about your weapon control a bit sick, and I wouldn’t do it out of respect for the victims, I thought you would have had better taste and principles I was obviously wrong on that I honestly thought that you’d put it here to show different perspectives from outside of the pond
SSD, Bobby is a fragile butterfly of emotion. Please don’t go too hard on him. Poor fella can’t even spell “massacre” yet likes to brag about his “extensive” training in how to blind someone with a flashlight and then run away blowing his whistle.
Must get a whistle good point
Just as you guys do all your ccw and tactical pistol courses we do self defence courses as this is all that is available to us, yes I and I dare say a large number of people would love to have the tactical training culture that you guys have but we don’t I’d love to be able to carry a ccw like the good old in NI but hey we do what we can just like you guys and I’m sure you’ll agree that everyone has a responsibility to be ready in anyway they can
The point is to mock a culture that prevents its people from protecting themselves and renders any police response to a flacid display of impotency.
One last statement you can’t stop mass shootings your justice system doesnt work so sort your own self important murderous culture of violence out before commenting on our culture,but at least 280 people a day don’t get shot in our country
Can I use a butter knife? Or will I be arrested for carrying one in my pocket?
Self defense is the preeminent human right. Without ownership of ones own life and body no other right matters.
If a person is prohibited the means and or opportunity to defend their life (that is their body) then they must not be the owners of their life (or their body).
If a person does not own their own life or body, then who does?
When a State decides for its Citizens if, when, or how those citizens may defend their lives, what is it really saying? Is it deciding that it, and not the citizens themselves, is the rightful owner of the body and lives of those people?
Who owns you?
Absolutely right. And keep in mind: “Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone” – June 28, 2005, New York Times.
Also, “Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.” I’d rather be a free man in America (for as long as this is actually going to last) than to be a loyal subject of the crown in England or the liberal democrat’s definition of America.
Philosophical rant out of the way…
The powers that be want the folks who get in “punch ups” to play less stupid games to reduce the stupidity of their prizes. The audience of the campaign are people who might go to a knife or busted bottle in an otherwise fist-a-cuffs type scuffle over something trivial. It is not aimed at SSD’s readers. We understand (or should) that carrying a weapon for legitimate self defense means you can’t get into stupid fights over stupid things without tragic results.
Fighting over stupid stuff is the macho thing to do in some sub-cultures. Convincing the audience (thugs) that using weapons is cowardly plays into the same psychology that feeds the fights themselves. Getting dumb thugs to leave the sharps at home is wise.
Nailed it
In just one night in the entertainment district of a medium-sized UK city, I saw more “punch-ups”, bottle-slashings, face-stompings, splintered skulls, black-eyed girls, property vandalism and street puking than I have ever seen in all the gin-joints of Fayettenam to Hooker Hill in Seoul to Honduras.
Although there are a lot of ways to lie with statistics and definitions, I have no problem believing the claim that the UK has a violent crime RATE twice or four times that of the US.
So you took a community event to bring knife crime and it’s dead victim to the attention of the public and put it here to mock them ??? That would be like me putting a picture of crying parents after another school massecre at a gun control rally to mock you about your weapon control a bit sick, and I wouldn’t do it out of respect for the victims, I thought you would have had better taste and principles I was obviously wrong on that I honestly thought that you’d put it here to show different perspectives from outside of the pond
They look so morose in the photo. With the gleeful expressions and mascot it’s more like celebrating the fear of butter knives than memorializing a death.
Less a memorial more putting it out there that we have a problem and that problem is kids with knives stabbing each other and that is the real tragedy in all this just like you guys have kids with guns shooting each other which is tragic, yes I’m sure if you threw more money at it and thought more about the campaign it could be so much more effective but like you guys our police forces are getting cut back and squeezed for cash and they’re trying to do their best to tackle a problem
I’ll take violent crime over gun crime any day less bodies in the mogue
What city by the way ???
Swindon…perhaps not a garden spot, but on the other hand, a great number of delightful, enthusiastic young ladies of all ages and sizes, with a wonderful sense of hospitality…I think every guy in our unit was taken home that evening, after we evacuated the Clockwork Orange situation in the bar zone! I think it must have been our accents…lol!
Wow at least you made it out alive Hahahaha only kidding but yeah like most places in the world we have our problem places but one thing I’ve noticed when I’ve been in the states is that you guys have more respect (or fear not sure which) of your LE guys which to an extent British police have over the years have lost our cops are strung with red tape as the suing culture takes over one recent case was a cop getting sued buy a guy who was beating his girlfriend who’s face was cut on the pavement as he was cuffed and he won, liberal bullshit in my opinion give the power back to the police so they can do their jobs without fear
I’ve noticed that too.
First, it should be noted that the figures Swann gives are out of date: in 2010, according to the FBI, the reported rate of violent crime in the US was 403 incidents per 100,000 people–the 466 figure comes from 2007. Second, and more importantly, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports defines a “violent crime” as one of four specific offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
The British Home Office, by contrast, has a substantially different definition of violent crime. The British definition includes all “crimes against the person,” including simple assaults, all robberies, and all “sexual offenses,” as opposed to the FBI, which only counts aggravated assaults and “forcible rapes.” Yeah I’m gonna put this here, you stats and interpretations of violent are a bit off but I will give you one thing there has been less trouble when out drinking in the states (mostly Vegas, San Diego and on occasion el centro but hey I’ll take a beating over getting shot anytime
So the best way to prevent people stabbing each other is to convince the public that anyone carrying a knife is a psycopathic coward just waiting to stab someone?
You’re absolutely right you do have a responsibility to yourself and a right to defend yourself .
As a responsible law abiding citizen I take the protection of my family and friends seriously I carry self defence items that I can within the constraints of the laws of my country to defend myself, I also think, I asses, remain aware of my surroundings, I avoid situations of conflict, I train in self defence using everyday objects not Jason Bourne ninja stuff but enough to de escalate situations or to buy time to get away from or neutralise threats and don’t go on about guns being the best defence because YOU are the best defence, situational awareness and physical fitness, ability to communicate effectively are all defencive assets ask any soldier
Does the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch fall within the constraints?
As long as it’s not a restricted purchase it does
I believe the term is tactical retreat
And let’s face it run and live or stand and die ( be aware this is a street in a town not a war zone or on operations, you’d get better health care on ops)
I wonder if the ‘monster’ that bears a striking resemblance to Cookie Monster was used under license? Perhaps the Sesame Street people should be made aware of this infringement of intellectual property.
I think this is the most important issue here well done for bringing this point to our attention and I think you should roll with it and contact them immediately
Damn, Cookie Monster…..how the mighty have fallen
Folks, there’s something patently obvious everyone is missing here.
That’s clearly the Cookie Monster; we’ll save any arguments about the legality of his use in this campaign for another day, and instead focus on the name.
Cookie Monster would be the Biscuit Monster in the UK, correct?
And ‘Biscuit’ is American gangsta slang for a gun.
Ergo, he should really be called the Gat Monster, and this is clearly subversive, pro-gun advertising at its finest.
How the hell did a gun end up as a biscuit it’s neither good for dunking in a brew or coating in chocolate
Listen up septic tanks, go away from London to find the real Britain.

we have perfectly good firearms laws. (check out whats available to us you will be surprised)

Ok, so all jokes aside this has been the most entertaining part of my day.
it has been both entertaining and informative
