The model system, according to gun control groupies. This is America's future if the liberals dominated as in Great Britain.
We should all try to get hold of it to read it. There are a lot of scandals in the British justice system.

I'm an American who has been living in Britain for the last few years (work...blah...coming home in a few days!), but I totally disagree with that. I've never been afraid here, and I don't know anyone who is either, and I live in a rough neighborhood (New Cross). I worry more when I'm back home in Chicago than I do here, and I always have.

with the UK i don't see how anyone can conclude that westminster will eventually have complete surveillance of all activity of all subjects, with records retained forever, and legal prohibitions (if not already there) against almost anything they want to pull out of the books.
If the state is smart, they will only use the power to disqualify/intimidate potential political opposition, and then only sparingly. with that kind of data to mine, i don't see how anyone could come through completely clean.
"It has a way of producing real parity between criminal and victim. I don't see this happening though."
Are you kidding? I believe it is a potential offence to come to the aid of an old lady being mugged. I have specifically read that people are advised not to do so.
"...liberal intellectuals who pretend to see in crime a natural and understandable response to social injustice..."
There's the problem.

I believe you are right. Some of the stuff the NRA prints are real horror stories. I just had no idea it was so pervasive.

What one believes is important. The Bible teaches that people are born with the spiritual birth defect of sin and that the heart of a man is "evil from his youth," (Original Sin). Humanists believe that man is good and society is evil, so even an evil-doer is not to blame for his actions and should not be punished too harshly. Humanist societies ultimately fail because they are based on a false supposition.
liberal intellectuals who pretend to see in crime a natural and understandable response to social injustice, which it would be a further injustice to punishSomebody should be targeting these morons. Putting their names and addresses on leaflets distributed in parts of town where the "victims" of "social injustice" live.
Go rob this house, the leaflet should say. They'll give you extra stuff just for showing up!
Years ago, at a Million Mom rally in Denver, a guy from the Tyranny Response Team printed up some really nice yard signs that said "This Home is a Gun-Free Zone" and offered them up to the liberal idiots leaving the rally. None were willing to take the signs.
bloated and totally ineffectual bureaucratic apparatusThis is the real problem. In all of Europe. And increasingly in America.
" In such circumstances, all activity became strictly pro forma, with no purpose external to itself." This is a great description of bureaucracy in general. If the so-calle Conservative party would take this issue to heart, they might have a winner, but once the state takes over health care, they can't talk about anything else, and everyuthing else goes to pot.
Liberals adore murderers and thugs.And suicide bombers. And jihadists who enslave women and murder lesbians and gays.
Those liberals. Their contradictions are huge.
