U.S. gun control advocates support the Second Amendment, but – they’d like to see all Americans disarmed. America would then becomes as “immune” to gun violence as the U.K. We’ve debunked that apples-to-oranges idea many times. Suffice it to say, the antis cite the “fact” that “British police don’t carry guns” as part of their anti-American anti-gun agitprop. Well guess what? They do. Carol Howard [above] is a firearms officer of the Metropolitan Police’s Diplomatic Protection Group. Armed Brit cops also patrol The City, airports and other sensitive locations. As for the riff-raff, armed response units are just minutes away (when seconds count). So is this image of a tooled-up Brit cop incendiary to the antis? Maybe not. And that’s scary.
Nice looking gal and her guns.
To bad the rules don’t apply to everyone.
I’ve met the ones in the bowels of heathrow.
Yes, they are armed.
You can’t say Heathrow without the accent, “Eh-Throw.”
There is a theme that I have noticed in my interactions with British immigrants. The women are tougher than the men. There, I said it.
If the fact that British cops don’t carry guns is supposed to be evidence that gun control has worked in the U.K., then how come very few (if any) gun control advocates here in the U.S. advocate disarming cops? Also, I’ve never heard Piers Morgan point this fact out.
It’s not supposed to be. Just the opposite, if anything. British cops were unarmed because they were expected to call on ordinary citizens around them who _would_ be armed, if a situation arose that required guns. That hasn’t been an option for some time, of course, but when the modern police force was invented by Sir Robert Peele in the 18th century, the British people were very well armed. The whole anti-gun thing in the UK didn’t start until around WWI, when the ruling class became afraid of a Communist revolution and wanted to disarm the riffraff. Over time that expanded to everybody, just as gun control in the US expanded from Black people to everybody.

Yep…last time I was in Heathrow, 2 heavily armed and armored brits with HK MP5’s at the entrance to the Airlingus concourse.
at least she’s got her EOTech on right.
USA, USA, USA. ‘Murica. Damned, I love me some EOTech.
I’m pretty sure that the Texans forming their nation actually had a lot more to do with their desire to not give up their slaves than their guns.
The hat and expression are rather Clockwork Orange.
Nothing to see here. Move along, move along!

According to the Framers of the Constitution, we have an obligation to disobey illegal laws. Since the law violates the 2nd Amendment it is unlawful.

“Can you guess which hunter has not showered lately? Always trust the ACME Porta-Shower, even when hunting far from home.”
The true indicator that the UK isn’t a gun-free paradise isn’t that the cops carry guns….
… it’s that even when they don’t carry guns, they still always wear their body armor.
Now if one of you will dress up like a Doritos bag, we’re all set.
Busshhhhh

YES…too bad Lee Pace didn’t have a gun to stop 2 “terrorists” from BEHEADING HIM. Yeah I know he was soldier & not a cop. NO DEATH PENALTY IN GB.
Several counties in CA have been ‘shall issue’ effectively for many years, because the policy of that county sheriff was to issue CCWs to everyone who met the qualifications. It was up to the county sheriff. Unfortunately, several other county sheriffs were ‘never issue’.
The 9th Circuit’s ruling told the ‘never issue’ sheriffs that they need to become ‘shall issue’.
How will the police know which homes to go to?

The professor should learn some history on the ease in which a state disarmed class of people (ottoman Christians) can controlled or even genocided by an armed state. His great grandparents are likely rolling in their (mass) graves and in disgust at the idea that he hates the guarantees of liberty his immigrant ancestors probably thanked god on a daily basis which they found in the USA
Nice hand tattoo…..is that a Brit Gangbanger or a Brit Cop?
Is there a difference?
I’ll buy one because the other 50 pistols in my gunsafe need another friend!! Can’t have too many guns. Cool pistol.
This man’s hubris just shows that many people who opine on the internet are nowhere near as intelligent or witty as they think they are.
Ammo is all popular calibers is back in my area and has been for awhile now. Multiple pallets just like the picture above in 5.56, 9mm, etc. are available at prices only a bit more than pre Sandy Hook. The only exception is 22lr. There is none of that to be found here. Doesn’t matter how early you get in line, there just isn’t any for sale. The manager of one of my LGS told me recently that it has been almost 13 months since he’s had 22lr to sell.
Ammo isn’t too bad here. Most things are available, but .22 LR is kind of hit-and-miss.
it sounds like China needs more gun control. as almost any democrat would tell you, guns are the root of all violence.
mayors against guns will be adding 27 names to their list of victims of “gun violence” in America.
Most gun owners are reasonable people who can handle the responsibility. A small number are idiots, but mandating that those idiots take training classes only results in idiots who took training classes. It doesn’t un-idiot them. Meanwhile it does put barriers up for everyone, in terms of time and money. Which I guess is kinda the point.
These people have no clue that a few miles up the road in North Carolina, open carry is legal by anyone almost anywhere. I live in SC, work in NC and enjoy open carrying on my lunch breaks and running errands after work. Especially in the upity Target right down the road 🙂
For people who cannot understand why the price is so high, it mostly has to do with the blade steel. The blade is made from M390 which is considered a “super steel”. It’s extremely high quality steel that is expensive to manufacture. It effortlessly takes a razor sharp edge, keeps that edge for a very long time, is very corrosion resistant, and is very tough. Generally it’s impossible to have a blade that has all those attributes, usually sacrificing one strength for another. For instance when a knife has the ability to keep its edge for a long time, it usually means it has very hard steel. However the harder the steel is, the less tough it is (more brittle), and therefore chips easier, and is usually harder to sharpen. M390 is unique in the sense that it has all the traits you could ever ask for in a knife blade. It’s by far the best steel on the market right now. A popular steel is S30V which is fantastic stuff and is the industry standard right now. M390 far outperforms S30V in every way. Anyone who know what a CATRA test is knows its been proven many times.
Another reason the price is a bit steep is that it’s a Benchmade obviously. Benchmades are naturally expensive but they are fantastic knives. You do get what you pay for in this case. The brand name plus the exotic steel = $200 knife.
Is it worth the money? Well that’s subjective to the buyer but at least you know why the price is what it is. It’s definitely not the most expensive knife. Just look up the Sebenza. They start at like $500.
