In the United States of America, if someone attacks you, and you yell for help, you will probably be assisted by someone with a gun, at which point the attacker becomes the attacked. In the United Kingdom, if you cry for help, and someone hears you...they can't be armed to help you; so then, they start yelling "Help!" too, but of course, no-one can help, because they are also all unarmed. Then of course, we have the cops (for those who don't know, C.O.P. stands for "Community Organized Police"), but knowing Britain, they'd probably just say, "Oh, he's armed, we should run away!" Armed and Safe has an older article that mentions that...
Here are some of my favorite gun quotes:
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." ~ Thomas Jefferson
"Here's my credo: There are no good guns, There are no bad guns. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a good man is no threat to anyone, except bad people." ~ Charlton Heston
"... Mr. Clinton, sir, America didn't trust you with our health-care system. America didn't trust you with gays in the military. America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns." ~ Charlton Heston
"You do not define the First Amendment. It defines you. And it is bigger than you. That's how freedom works. It also demands you do your homework. Again and again, I hear gun owners say, how can we believe anything the anti-gun media says when they can't even get the facts right? For too long, you have swallowed manufactured statistics and fabricated technical support from anti-gun organizations that wouldn't know a semi-auto from a sharp stick. And it shows. You fall for it every time." ~ Charlton Heston

Remember 9-11
I will never forget the 3,000 innocent deaths. Will you forget them? I will never forget the men who have sacrificed themselves to protect my freedom, my rights, and my life; they paid with their lives. Will you forget them? I will never forget the people slaughtered brutally by a genocidal dictator. Will you forget them? The world will forget many things, but this I pray, that the people who died on the 11th of September and the soldiers who died afterwards will always be remembered, for as long as the Red, White, and Blue flies proud and strong. Osama, we're coming for you!
