Surprise!

Gun control doesn't work. Nuff said. Britain is rethinking it's laws after they've created a disaster by preventing people from defending themselves when in their own homes.

Britain has created an environment where defending oneself at home can lead to fines and possible time in prison. Now I don't know about you but if I wake up to find someone in my home the last thing I want to be do is take some time to consider the legal ramifications of my actions. Such laws are one of the greatest intrusions into our liberties. The ability to defend oneself, especially in our own homes, is one of the pillars of our society. Without it, nothing else really matters.

The state cannot defend you in such instances. We know it. And the government knows it.

As this story shows, Europe is becoming more dangerous that America due to what many people believe is Europe's efforts to disarm it's population. In Britain, in particular, the government wants you to be a victim. By creating such a legal environment they actively encourage people to hide in their homes in fear of their surroundings.

Canada hopefully won't go as far down the path of victimhood as Britain has. Our first step back to sanity may come soon with a group of Liberal backbenchers planning to scrap the gun registry.

It can't come soon enough.
