Another Lone Asshole

Psychos

From a while back, this bitter meme:

“If Guns Are Outlawed, Can We Use Swords?”

…and of course, privately-owned guns being banned in formerly-Great Britain, some scrote did exactly that.

Sadly, he was only Tasered and arrested as opposed to being summarily shot by the Britcops:

…they being the only  ones allowed to have guns, begging the question:  “What’s the point of giving the cops guns when they’re not going to use them appropriately?”

Oh, wait:  the rozzers who showed up didn’t have guns, nor even the proper gear to deal with said asshole.

Next up:  a sword ban, followed by large kitchen knives, followed by any pointy- or bladed objects, then cricket/baseball bats… and following the thing to its logical absurdity, a ban on clenching a hand into a fist.

You saw it here first.

  1. Actually, they are trying to bring in a ban by the back door: the Royal Mail are refusing to transport swords. Guns, ironically, are not a problem.

  2. I think you mean “raising the question” not “begging the question”. I expect more from a self-professed grammar nazi.

    1. The two are interchangeable, although to be fair (to you), “raising” is more often used in the intransitive, e.g. “the question arose whether…” etc.

      1. “begging the question” is a logical fallacy wherein the conclusion is derived from the premise.

        It’s used interchangeably with “raising the question” only in the colloquial sense (meaning that the masses are not smart enough to use it properly).

  3. Aren’t sharp pointy things already banned in G.B. or are they just discouraged with knitted eyebrows?

    1. “Bladed instruments” are already banned — he’s being charged with that, inter alia.

  4. A soldier in my unit at Fort Campbell decided he was going to try to kill the company First Sergeant with a sword. The MPs were called. When they arrived, they set a police dog on said soldier. He slashed it, injuring it badly enough that it later died. The MPs then opened fire. Drugs were a factor, of course. The point (ahem) being that a sword is a deadly weapon and the MPs treated it as such.
