Well, maybe one day when _your_ government comes into your house and decides
that they would like to take your money and your computer that you used to type
this message then you might feel different.  The reason for the right to bear
arms in the USA is to protect ourselves from the government.  Its not a
problem, its a right that you don't have.  I would be scared shitless if I
lived in the UK.  Whats to stop the Queen from coming over and stealing your
drapes that you work hard to buy just because she likes the color of them? 
Your country is more screwed up than the US dude.  Cameras on every street
corner?  It cracks me up that George Orwell was so right, and you people let it
happen anyway.
