Police have seized 833 guns in Britain as part of an operation aimed at preventing criminals and terrorists gaining access to illegal firearms. The National Crime Agency and counter-terrorism officers made 282 arrests during a month-long joint initiative that started in October. Guns seized ranged from pistols to assault rifles and machine guns. |

In spite of formally great Britain's draconian gun laws, the criminals still have guns. The gun laws only disarm law abiding subjects and make them prey for the gun toting criminals.
If the police sized 833 guns you can bet that more than 99 percent or 82,500 are still out there. It just confirms that the gun restrictions on law abiding citizens are rather absurd. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
