Gangs abound.

What are things like on your planet?

Safer.

Really ??
Let's see

http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/...d-States/Crime

You are 25% more likely to be a crime victim in the UK than the US
You are 133% more likely to be the victim of assault in the UK than
the US
Bribery is 16% higher in the UK than the US
There are 326 times more drug offenses committed in the UK than the US
(Having all those druggies around must make you safer too)
Americans feel 17% safer than residents of the UK
You have 125% more rape victims than the US
(That's YOUR definition of "safer" for your women..)

I don't know what YOUR definition of "safer" is
But the statistics put the lie to your claim

Safer is not being shot by some deranged nutcase. Not the irrelevant
drivel you have come up with.
This should give you a clue. Are you a retard?

Here are a couple of people who likely wouldn't be alive (and a perp that
would be) were it not for a cool little lady with a big gun.

Where does it say it was his intention to kill her or her baby?
Once again your comrehension of English is poor.

BTW, she would have been entitled to shoot him in the UK too.
And she could legally have a shotgun.

I also notice the police didn't say it was OK to shoot him.

More weasel response.
1) She would probably not be able to get a shotgun because she just
turned 18
2) And if she were able, the process would be so onerous that she
wouldn't have yet succeeded
3) Then there are the "safe storage" requirements which would have
probably prevented her from getting to it in time
4) Then there is the example of the farmer who was prosecuted for
shooting some burglars on his land

Too bad, you're living in some "Hollywood fantasy" about self-defense in the
UK
