Pity
If you, by any chance, have about ten minutes of your time, click the following link to watch a very extreme video. If you don’t like extreme videos, skip ahead to the summary.

Setting: England, modern day. A burglar enters a jewelry store, basically holds up the cashier and demands whatever diamonds he wants. The store manager and everyone else with guts attack the burglar at the right time, but don’t exactly stop him. The police are contacted, but don’t get there for 20 minutes. The burglar gets the upper hand for a brief moment and tries to escape, but he is trapped between security doors. He is arrested.
Keep in mind that this is England. And since Lee isn’t posting about this story, I’ll make my point here and now: If England didn’t have laws restricting people from owning guns, this situation would have been taken care of by the store owners MUCH sooner.
Guy with hand up: But Jaime, if they were to allow people to own guns in England, the burglar would have a gun too.
Me: Not necessarily. If they performed background checks on people, the burglar certainly wouldn’t have been able to get a gun legally.
Guy with hand up: So he could just ask a friend for a gun then.
Me: If that were the case, then the store owners would be screwed, wouldn’t they? Having a zero gun ownership law only leaves the victims of crimes helpless against attackers. See, you’ve just proven to me criminals will go to other places to find guns. Even if they can’t do so legitimately, they will find a gun. It’s happened before and it will happen again.
Guy: (frustrated) Yeah, well… why should I trust the opinion of a sore loser who whines about his lack of love life and reads stupid comic books?
Me: And now, I shall demonstrate another positive point of having an armed society. (whips out pistol and aims it at the guy.) Don’t you EVER insult me like that again, you hear me?!
Guy: (arms up, frightened.) Sorry…Sorry (quivers.)
Me: Thank you. (puts gun away.) You see ladies and gentlemen, an armed society is a polite society.
Oh, it’s a joke. Just laugh at it.
