About that poor bastard in Britain arrested for a photo

of him holding a gun in the US:
Incidents like this should concern every American gun owner. A man was arrested in his own country for a lawful photo taken in ours. That level of state control did not appear in the UK overnight. It arrived step by step, regulation by regulation, each justified as “reasonable.”

If we are not vigilant in the United States, in the courts, in Congress, and at the state level, the same slow creep can happen here. What happened in the UK is not an anomaly. It is the predictable end state of a culture and legal system that treats civilian gun ownership as a privilege to be curtailed instead of a right to be protected.
I'd go further: it's not just the right to arms, it's the very right to self-defense.  Their 'elites' don't like it, don't approve of it, and have created the situation in which it's not legal.  At all.  Not just discouraged, but "Yes, he had a knife/club and threatened you and your whoever, but you used more aggression than the Crown Prosecutor thinks was right, so you're off to prison."

And you can't speak what you think, because the cops have become the assholes they are who care more about going through social media looking for something offensive, somehow, to somebody, than they care for finding stolen cars and catching burglars.*

Freedoms interconnect.  And their and our 'elites' hate them.


*"Oi, mate, it so much safer than doing what's supposed to be our actual job!"
