In the UK you can either vote for the commie Labor or the centrist Tories. That’s why Ukip is an interesting alternative:
Generally, gun control isn’t a big issue in Britain. Perhaps that’s why today’s comments by Nigel Farage, leader of the euro-skeptic protest party Ukip, have made such a big stink. Farage, speaking on London’s LBC radio, was asked about gun control by a caller. He responded that the ban on hand guns in the U.K. was “ludicrous” and that “if you criminalize handguns then only the criminals carry the guns.”
For this he has been called an idiot and worse, but before you embrace him as brother and invite him to join the NRA:
Still, what’s really remarkable about Farage’s comments and the reaction to them is that from a U.S. perspective, they are not extreme at all. In fact, Farage went to great paints to distance himself from an American-style of gun ownership. “I would not like us to go to the American system, which strikes me as absolutely crazy,” he explained in his interview today, “that you can go and buy automatic repeating rifles down at the local gun shop that looks more like a supermarket.” Instead, he argued, that “proper” gun licensing was required for the U.K.
That’s the thing with the Brits, even when they remove head from ass, they stick it right back in. Come on Nigel, pick a side. Better yet, spend a month in America touring our gun shops and you’ll see the superiority of our system.
