« A Movie For Straight White Men: Gun Porn! | Main | Brokeback Mountain And Tribal Signifiers »

Home Defense in the U.K.

Thanks to "gun control" in the United Kingdom, some enterprising soul has come up with this.

Frankly, I think a good .45 pistol works a lot better (or a Model 29 .44 Magnum, if you prefer), but that's me.

(h/t to Jonah Goldberg at The Corner)

3000 quatloos on the home intruder!

I would prefer the .45, but in wussified countries with handgun bans, I'll take this.

I want a knife too though.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 14, 2005 04:22 PM

How about a big, metal shield and a battle axe instead. And a double-horned Viking's helmet! I bet an intruder would piss himself and run out of the house a la Benny Hill style if confronted with a man weilding these!

The funny thing is that the criminals have guns, because they don't care about the laws. The law abiding people are stuck with mini club and shield, great...

"How about a big, metal shield and a battle axe instead. And a double-horned Viking's helmet! I bet an intruder would piss himself and run out of the house a la Benny Hill style if confronted with a man weilding these!"

Yeah, but only if you used the proper battle cry; "I HAVE A THOUSAND YEARS OF POWER!!"

I can't believe the 'enlightened' British community allows its citizens to go around wielding clubs without any form of government permit or qualifying exams. Why, there's absolutely nothing stopping a complete psychopath from getting his hands on one of these things and causing all kinds of havoc. And with a simple modification of banging a nail into the club, suddenly you've got an assault club on your hands that's designed for nothing less than KILLING people. WHAT KIND OF SICK, PERVERTED SOCIETY LETS ITS CITIZENS HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THESE DEATH STICKS?!!

Sadly, they can't carry knives over there either, though I know some that do at the risk of going to jail. Heck, they're even trying to ban some kitchen knives!
Pansies.

The picture at the link is begging to be photoshopped.

Unbelievable and pathetic. Denying your citizens the right of self-defense.

Of course, I am sure that the royals have armed bodyguards. And, perhaps some of the MP's. And, probably the well-to-do business person or rock star.

The common folk will have to wait for a bobby to come round.

The shield should be made of bullet proof glass. Still would look good as a table top.

The record business can't be very profitable any more. Funny product for Paul McCartney to endorse.

Posted by: PointyHairedBoss on December 14, 2005 05:13 PM

I have to agree with you..........

Posted by: circe on December 14, 2005 05:26 PM

None the less, I want one.

A 45 calaber asualt bat no match for a 4 bulldog revolver

Posted by: spurwing plover on December 14, 2005 09:15 PM

I was just reading about either The Kentucky Fried Movie or Amazon Women On The Moon at (a site that has a database about every movie ever made) and in the trivia it said that the scenes with some kind of nun-chuck like weapon were cut out in a couple of countries, like Ireland and Scotland or something, because they're illegal there. Maybe they should've tried banning pipe bombs.

Posted by: Dave Munger on December 14, 2005 09:50 PM

A bat is such an offensive weapon..

Better a helmet to cover your head and a Depends to shit in while the intruder has his way with your castle.

Posted by: Dangerous1 on December 14, 2005 11:50 PM

Are cross bows banned?

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
