No damage was done at all to their property and if you watch the videos at no point were they under threat. Indeed after having obtained their firearms they approached the demonstrators in a threatening manner going so far as to point their weapons at the crowd. It's good to have your first hand account of the encounter and that you can definitively relay to us that the couple were never under threat from this mob.

Popular Post Smigel Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 4 hours ago, simple1 said: I suppose you're being asinine troll. However....British security forces are renowned for their effectiveness in confronting armed terrorists and threats. As a UK citizen I find your smear of HMG security forces extremely inappropriate for those who risk thier lives, have lost their lives or been injured fighting threats to the UK and allies. Actually, I find the British security forces extremely professional and effective in what they do. I was quite obviously making a snide remark regarding the regular police force. In that when policing the first Blm protests in Whitehall, the police, wearing flat caps, white shirts soft uniform etc. Many officers were reported and photographed taking the knee. They were also filmed running away when the protests (surprise, surprise) turned violent. Perhaps you remember the statue of Winston Churchill being defaced with Blm slogans, how about the scumbag trying to set alight the Union flag at the cenotaph. Contrast that a week later when some army veterans and members of the football alliance lads, journeyed to London to protect statues. They were met with squads of the spg in full riot gear, with truncheon drawns. I also read and heard reports of them being kettled, told where and when they could congregate, and generally treated like trouble making scum. So you're a UK citizen, well so am I, and I can tell you there are very many people in the UK that are absolutely disgusted with the British police and their double standard policing. Unfortunately they have now become just like every other public service authority, hamstrung by political correctness and identity politics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Cantonal rules where you had to have a gun in order to marry were only regional rules that applied in a certain Canton. Swiss gun law was reformed in 1999 to remove these Canton peculiarities. In addition you can not just walk around with a gun in public in Switzerland, you need a special permit for that where you have to show you have a reasonable need to carry a gun. Otherwise you won't get the permit to carry the gun in public. In Switzerland too you need a permit to have a gun (though not certain rifles), though admittedly it is extremely easy to get it. However, in Switzerland too, not just Finland or Sweden, does the law require gun owners to have weapons locked up when not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PatOngo Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 Ahhh! The American obsession with guns, The right to bear arms! Is it to defend against foreign forces? China. Russia, Canada, Mexico, religious fundamentalism? I don't think there is too much risk of urban conflict there. Or are Americans so paranoid about conflict with their fellow American citizens that they need to be armed to the teeth to live normal lives? I find this very sad! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No evidence or proof of that as regards this couple. From the major local newspaper in that city: Quote Videos do not show protesters on the McCloskeys’ lawn, nor on a 1,143-square-foot triangle of grass the ownership of which is disputed. Mark McCloskey once said in a deposition that he had pointed a gun at a neighbor over that triangular patch. Quote Asked about Monday’s charges, St. Louis University law professor John Ammann said, “It makes a lot of difference that the protesters were not on their property, according to the videos.” If the protesters were on their property, the reasons matter, he added, giving as an example someone picking up a water bottle that had been dropped or thrown. “Under the McCloskeys’ theory, they could shoot and kill a child running on their property to get a ball they were playing with,” he said. He also said that the fact that the McCloskeys lived on a private street didn’t matter. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/mccloskeys-charged-with-felonies-for-waving-guns-during-protests/article_73bfcc8c-6828-5b77-8a58-37cd10d97f4c.html Red meat for the right-wing gun nut fans...

The Indians have retreated to the reserves, but you still feel the need to circle the wagons!
