RKBA in the UK!

This is my page about the right to keep and bear arms (RKBA). I believe that everyone has the right do defend themselves, and therefore the right to own weapons for self-defence (or any other non-aggressive purpose). No government has the right to interfere with that. Therefore the sale of firearms, stun guns, mace etc should be unrestricted. This isn't the policy of the regime currently ruling Britain, but they won't be in power forever.

If you haven't had any experience with firearms in the past, you've probably got a built-in fear of them caused by a combination of ignorance and a lifetime of exposure to the media's constant anti-gun propaganda. The thing you've got to remember is that a gun is just a tool - it's no more sinister than a knife, a baseball bat or a canister of Zyklon B. All of those things have got both good and evil uses, it just depends on the character of the owner. A frequently used analogy is cars. If I'm driving, a car is a perfectly safe and sensible way of getting from A to B. If my brother's driving, it's a death machine! It all comes down to the individual, and most people are capable of being sensible and making their own choices. The political establishment want you to think that ordinary people are too stupid, unstable or just plain nasty to trust with firearms. But if they don't trust you with a .22 pistol how can you trust them with the weapons they've got? The British government's got it's own fleet of nuclear missile submarines, and Tony Blair's definitely got violent tendencies - if you don't believe me, ask anyone still living in Yugoslavia. Personally, I'm much more willing to trust you with an Uzi - we may never have met, but the odds are you're just as peaceful as the overwhelming majority of the population. You're not going to instantly become a homicidal maniac just because you've got a gun in your hands.

Here are some articles on the subject.

Jeffrey Snyder's "A Nation of Cowards". This is one of the best articles on the subject of self-defense that I've read for a while.

Help a British political prisoner. Read about a man who has been unjustly imprisoned because he defied the firearms laws. Then write to the Home Office to demand fairer treatment.
