They were scared shitless over a few teenagers in Shaun White hoodies and denim breaking store windows this last summer. They were ready to surrender the whole country, but I guess the teenagers got bored after awhile and went home and the UK was saved. In a zombie apocalypse they'd be done. Being a pacifist country is great most of the time, except when the shit hits the fan.
So you'd consider killing someone who broke into your shop and stole a tv justified? Beating them up maybe but shooting them dead I'm not so sure.
Theres still guns in this country, we just have to bide out time and ransack some top police stations for theirs. Same with military bases, the biggest marine one is in my town area.
America might have the biggest military but Britain has the best. We'd end the zombie apocalypse while the American civilians are still learning about friendly fire. Plus we have less people so that means less zombies right?
Didn't they burn parts of the city causing ~ $500 million dollars in damage? I think a few 35 cent bullets are justified to mitigate that liability.
The reason he had a lot of time was because he blew up the Norwegian parliament area. This caused quite a distraction for the police. The guns he used were obtained legally; he failed to get black market weapons. Seems tighter gun laws would have helped.
Debatable. Your military is so underfunded that you guys were sending soldiers into combat in Iraq with one bullet in their magazines. And no i didn't make that up. It was pretty big news back when it happened. The US spends way too much on its military, but at least we have one. Britain had a good military 70 years ago during WW2, but it has long since been dismantled.
Don't worry. It's because he plays too much modern warfare that he got it in his head like that. Captain Price's SAS squad goes around owning everything while the Americans get punked.
Bullshit. America doesn't make good cars or electronics, but we dominate the business of death. We'd crush a zombie apocalypse before it even starts. The UK would probably spend their time changing laws to allow zombies to become citizens.
It's not justified and it may not even be legal but it's an arms race and the punk with the bat looses. He can decide to run away or take a chance that the shop keeper won't kill him. If he's smart he'll run away.
True. They'd get all sort of welfare benefits too no doubt. Yeah that is also true, but we haven't turned invading countries and starting wars into a profitable business plan like you guys. War... has changed.
Boy I wished invading Iraq was profitable for our country cuz the citizens here are surely seeing none of it. Still tons and tons of unemployed people.
Which is basically just a term for private sellers being able to sell guns in small quantities to anyone. There isn't much that can be done about that. And there are legitimate reasons people buy from private sellers. For one, the guns are much cheaper. Gun dealers charge huge markups. Also, a lot of these cases are friends or family members selling guns to each other.
I'm not trying to be particularly anti American and I don't mean to offend. But you must admit America has somewhat of a reputation for being involved in a lot of wars and why/how would they keep doing it if not for money/oil?
It's not entirely untrue. The average American and the country as a whole went down the shitter. But the black hand that runs the show profited a lot from the war.
