you guys need the right to bear arms, that's exactly what separates and makes the U.S. the most powerful country in the world, if more people have weapons there's less craziness, those rioters aren't busting into homes and shops where there's people brandishing a 9mm.
i don't know what the riots are about, i've been out of it for like three days........peyote. but yeah, i don't even live in a very violent area but i live in a suburb of columbus, ohio where there's people killed every day but it's also not that wild and there's never rioting.
think about it.
aloha!

The right to bear arms is probably the stupidest thing the UK could do. The last thing they need is crazy rioters running around like this:

The whole thing is ridiculous, started out as a protest but has now escalated to mindless thuggery and petty looting. Copy cat riots in Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham as well as difference parts of London are just ridiculous. Hopefully the 16000 police in London can stop them and if not, then we need to get tough

Our war heroes would turn in their graves if they knew they gave their lives for scum to run riot... Shameful

I haven't been following it, but didn't start as a peaceful protest against police violence? So now they're protesting unnecessary violence with unnecessary violence of their own? Yeah, that makes sense. Hypocrites.
What it seems like to me is that thugs are just using it as an excuse to incite more violence for the sake of it. There's no motive now, it's spread so the common idiot out there can feel vindicated causing as much violence as he wants.
The England game got called off tomorrow. Don't care about that. But this better not delay the start of the Premiership this weekend. I've waited 3 long months to see Arsenal lose again, and I'm not going to let a twisted fire starter (I apologize, again) get in the way.
Sort it out, England.

The gun laws in the US are idiotic, and is one of many reasons why I'm a moderate when it comes to social issues (despite being conservative when it comes to the economy and foreign policy). The Republicans have no idea on most social issues, guns being one of them. Think about it.

The only difference guns would make in this situation would be the blood of young people running down the sidewalk. Hope England sort out its problems quickly.

Hope England sort out its problems quickly. you guys are both pussies. america is violent but there's also not riots that last days..........one reason being people own weapons and they're not afraid to use them. and it's not even like it's that crazy or dangerous. fuck, i woulda been killed years ago if it were that wild in america. think about it.

Oh really? Tell me about it. So people are not afraid to use their weapons in America? Everyone knows that! And it won't stop anyone from protesting whenever it's time to. The US economy is falling apart. But do you really wanna compare the number of gun deaths per year in the US and in the UK? It IS wild when you have a shitload of weapons running around the country and you have no control over it. It's not safer, it's much more dangerous. And it is not gonna solve any of the social problems you have, otherwise Iraq would be the safest place to be right now. Anyway, guns wouldn't make things any prettier in London, or Manchester, or Santiago, or Madrid, or Cairo, or anywhere else you're having trouble with people protesting against their government because of their shitty neoliberal social (if that's possible) policies. And if worrying about other people's lives being taken makes me a pussy, so be it.
