I am starting to think that there MAY be an even greater possible threat to our rights, freedoms and liberties than gun grabbing and gun bans. I'm reading more and more about lefties, greens and their totalitarian chums. and that is PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLES. All of those opposed to our current ways of life are moving in the same direction, Trying to force us out of our own vehicles and onto public transport / home deliveries.

Be they greens, envirnomentalists, socialists , you name them they have differing reasons but the same demands, BAN GASOLINE AND DIESEL vehicles on public hands, if you must be motorised then its massively expensive electricity powered cars of very limited utility, and many lefties believe that THEY should decide if YOU need a vehicle just like they did in the old USSR.

It is clear that some if not many players in this campaign like AOCs gang who openly state that liesure air travel and private cars should be banned, they CLAIM it is for ENVIRONMENTAL reasons but I firmly believe it is for CONTROL reasons ( they who control Transport and Logistics and Utilities control the people).

It wont be overnight we all know the left are patient and determined, but I believe a greater or at least as great a threat to our freedoms and rights is our ability to move and travel freely at our own will without regulation or control. listening to many of the Greenies and Lefties its clear they care NOTHING about damage to individuals or national economics, concerns dismissing warnings and concerns with promises of green related jobs to replace those lost.
 
private vehicles in a rural area like this are a necessity not a luxury as the public transport is non existent and there are no charging points for electric vehicles out in the countryside, mind you if everyone had an electric car that would blow the power grid and no mistake, we havent got enough power stations now never mind all those extra electric cars.
 
Vehicle grabs are very bad, but gun grabs are far worse. Not having the right to defend yourself...having to use a hammer or a rock is plain inhumane, especially since the ones attacking have firearms.
Agenda 21/Agenda 30 plan is to push everyone into public housing in the cities and nationalize all the farm land surrounding the city. Notice this has happened in Paris, where it's very difficult to own a private car, and no car days are the norm.
I'd like to hear a British perspective of their gun ban.

We dont have a full blown gun ban, Hand guns are banned, Rifles and Shotguns are not, in the UK people shoot from .22LR to 50 cal, though I think people are steered towards bolt or lever action guns rather than semi autos. You have to apply and have good reason to own a rifle, hunting, sports, target and pest control OK, Self Defence NO. Anyone with no criminal record can apply for a shotgun certificate , They are now limited to two rounds now I think, there is millions of shotguns and many hundreds of thousands of rifles in the UK.

Gun crime is on the increase in the Uk rising roughly 20% a year, latest figures for UK 2019 show 33 people killed with a gun out of 70 million people. So if the UK had the same sized population of the US we would have had around 132 gun deaths in the UK. Gun crime rises in UK in last year with more than 9,700 cases reported

Gun deaths in USA 2019 were 15,292 gun deaths Excluding Suicides Gun Deaths Inched Up in 2019

For sure our cultures are different but none the less the US is a far more dangerous place than the UK.
 
There is no public transportation whatsoever where I live. A hike to the nearest town and back would take up a day. As for carrying groceries Ha Ha. They can take my car when they pry my cold dead hands off the steering wheel.


Start thinking more like a lefty socialist and not like a good US patriot, They wont come for your car any more than they will come for your guns. Not when they can raise fuel prices at the pumps to say $30 a gallon, they rebate the extra tax to essential trucking companies, Then they will hit car makers with massive environmental taxes perhaps doubling or trebling the cost of the average US gas guzzler, Then toll road taxation, then Congestion charges for entering cities ( many European nations already do that, London is about $16 a day). Old tyre disposal taxes, battery recycling charges, there are hundreds of methods of squeezing your pips til they squeek without ever getting near you in person.

I'm not so sure, anything is possible if there is a politician involved!! :)
mind you, you have a point, he used to be so much more than all this political clap trap, I learned a lot from him about prepping over the years, and so have many others, but the quality has definitely diminished.
but then the whole site has declined into a politicsfest and has very little, if anything, to do with Doomsday Prepping anymore, and I'm not the only one that thinks that.

There are alot of shooting deaths in places in the US that have outlawed guns. Like Chicago. You can't have a gun in Chicago, but the criminals have them, and they shoot people and kill them.
Chicago would be alot safer with alot less gun deaths if guns were not banned there.

So you can have a shotgun that loads two rounds, and a rifle if you live in England? Anywhere in England?

Yup, England and Wales, Scotland and NI have different laws.
 
So, if I'm in London, I can have a shotgun and a rifle? You're going to say, no, so I say why not?
Do you have a law in England that it's ok to defend your life, or the life or your family? If the answer is yes, what are you allowed to defend them with? Is it ok to defend your property in England, and if so, how?
Non Americans and liberals love to quote gun death statistics in America. Many, many supposed shooting deaths here are not because someone shot somebody. Many other things have been attributed to supposed shooting deaths. It's all in who does the counting.
Our Constitution tells American citizens (not illegals) that the government we have elected work for us. Not the other way around. The constitution is there to limit our government's powers, not the other way around. I know it doesn't seem that way sometimes, but there it is. If a tyrannical government wants to take over our country, the first thing to do is to take away or limit the use of our guns. The car use and the other nonsense stuff comes after we are disarmed. So, is it true you can't have sharp knives in England to defend yourself either?

Really because its already happening in Europe, and the same tactics are already being tried towards guns in the US. If you want to keep your head up your arse feel free, if you cannot see how the left in the US is moving the same way as other parts of the world then so be it. Good luck to you. In both the UK and EU they are increasing emissions rules making it ever more difficult for engine makers, Including General Electric whose 66 series are the best locos in the world and the most efficient, but NOT enough for the greens in Europe so they are banned. ALL the European government are putting stricter and stricter emmission laws into place for ALL vehicles. They now have buy back schemes to encourage people to scrap their gas or diesel cars. Both the EU and UK have ever stricker arrangements for power stations. Many nations are making it harder and harder to open and run fuel stations, the UK has seen THOUSANDS closed in recent years because the left campaigns against them. Britain has to be Petrol and Diesel FREE in only 9 years, it was 19 years but they moved the agenda to BAN galoine and diesel cars by 2030.

https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/...iesel-ban-what-it-and-which-cars-are-affected
New conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans will be banned from sale in the UK from 2030 - here’s everything you need to know


All new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans are set to be banned from sale in 2030. New hybrids will be given a stay of execution until 2035, on the condition they are capable of covering a "significant distance" in zero-emission mode - a term which the Government has yet to define.
New plug-in hybrids will remain in showrooms for another five years, before being outlawed in 2035. The Government has also confirmed it will allow conventional hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, to remain on sale until 2035, as long as they are capable of achieving the "significant" zero-emission distance.
After 2035, the only new cars and vans that can be sold will be pure electric ones such as the Tesla Model 3 and Nissan Leaf, plus any hydrogen-powered cars, such as the Hyundai Nexo and Toyota Mirai, that may exist at that point. Second-hand cars will be unaffected by the ban, however, allowing petrol and diesel cars, plus conventional hybrids without "significant" zero-emission capability, to change hands on the used market after 2030.
To help facilitate the transition from fossil-fuel cars, £1.3 billion is being invested in EV chargepoints for homes, streets and motorways across England. A further £582 million is being set aside for grants to help people into EVs and PHEVs. The Government is also investing £500 million in battery development and mass production, while £525 million is earmarked for the nuclear power plants, partly to help meet the demand for electricity the growing number of EVs will bring.


Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “My Ten Point Plan will create, support and protect hundreds of thousands of green jobs, whilst making strides towards net zero by 2050.
“Our green industrial revolution will be powered by the wind turbines of Scotland and the North East, propelled by the electric vehicles made in the Midlands and advanced by the latest technologies developed in Wales, so we can look ahead to a more prosperous, greener future.”
Buyers are undoubtedly turning to alternatively fuelled cars in great numbers, with 12.1 per cent of new registrations being EVs and PHEVs in November 2020. Nonetheless, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders previously called an acceleration of the 2040 ban “extremely concerning”, adding that “with current demand for this still expensive technology still just a fraction of sales, it’s clear that accelerating an already very challenging ambition will take more than industry investment.”

Yes if you live in london or anywhere else you can own a gun or shotgun providing its for sport, pest control, hunting, etc so long as you have somewhere to legally shoot it.

Yes you can use PROPORTIONAL force to protect yourself, if you catch a burglar you cannot execute him if he flees ( like much of the US)

Sorry Hun but your tyranical government is in the whitehouse now and your guns were no use. AOC and Kamala Harris have already said they will if neccessary use Executive orders after 100 days to start reigning in gun owners, They probably wont succeed but it wont stop them trying to criminalise law abiding citizens. They will go after your guns and vehicles by guile not direct confrontation, EG the Loony left in New York is currently trying to destroy the NRA in assorted legal cases, No case to answer but that never stops them trying just like Trumps impeachment frame up, no case to answer but it did not stop them. DC protestors we exactly that but the left deems them Donestic terrorists and is going after them, again totallky unjust charges but it doesnt stop the left.

Yes we can carry knives, and if we are attacked by someone also using a knife we can fight back.

I dont know where many americans get their facts from the amount of BS at times is unbelievable, I have carried one since I was 15, so has my wife.
 
FYI the biggest car plant in the UK Nissan Sunderland now has to switch over to 100% EVs by 2030 , Germany has banned the use of COAL FIRED power stations by 2038 even though they have only 15% capacity in the remaining nuclear plants, they will have to rely on Russian gas but the left wants it banned as well.

The German parliament adopted the country's coal exit law in July 2020, 18 monthas after the multi-stakeholder coal exit commission recommended an end to coal-fired power generation in the country by 2038 at the very latest.3 Jul 2020
 
did I strike a nerve,,,,,,,,,,,,,electric cars are not affordable and will not do the job of a gas powered truck......................this idiotic crap you are talking will put people out of work and cause long lines at the welfare office......it will not happen in your great grand children's lifetime
 
Well, they're going to get away with taking your cars away in Europe because no one can really own a gun there without a hassle, and they've convinced your people that guns are bad and always kill people.
It's not going to happen in the US anytime soon, because first they'll have to take away all guns, then they can take away all the cars. If they take away guns, there will absolutely be a division of states, and then there will be a civil war. I do believe there will be higher prices on guns and ammo (already is), and higher prices on cars, too. The red states will have to put their foot down and build their own cars. And not electric ones. Those are stupid.
So, regarding rifles in London....I can go to the rifle store and buy one and buy some ammo, bring it home and keep it in my bedroom near my bed, and if some bad guy breaks in, I can shoot him? If he yells, I'm coming in to kill you, I can shoot him? If he has a knife, do I have to drop the rifle and go find a knife like his, then I can defend myself? Or is my rifle not kept in my home, but only at the local gun club somewhere out of the city where I can only remove it for hunting? Or can I keep it at home, but only locked up in a safe with a gun lock on the gun, so I have to remember my combo and be government inspected? You know, guns rights in our country "shall not be infringed". Idiots like those in Chicago that get shot rolled over for their local liberal government. Not going to happen in most of America.
California, New Mexico, New York, Minnesota, Oregon, Illinois, Washington..... they can roll over all they want. They are the brokest, most violent, most liberal states we have. They do have pockets of normal human beings out of the cities, though. All governments are going to get away with whatever they think they can get away with.
Do not comply. Our rights were given to us by God, not by our government. Texas will now attest to electric cars are a total sham. They couldn't charge them, couldn't drive them. Agenda 21 Agenda 2030 is alive and well and is being instituted in Europe. You couldn't pay me to be there.
 
Just imagined what would happen in Switzerland if i try to safe my properties with an gun... LMAO
Threat of a thief with a weapon - fines or jail. With an loaded weapon or not registeret one the fine would be higher or your time-out in jail a lot longer.
Blessing an thief in any case, not matter if it's with an weapon or you knock him out - fines or jail plus you're invitet to pay curing coasts and compensation.
Kill an thief and you will stay for a few years in the jail.

The only we can do is running away and calling the police. They will comes if the danger is over and they collected enough speeding tickets (less work and more money).
