There's a cultural thing here where if u have a problem with someone , stand up and fight it out , no weapons and Queensbury Rules , even the women ! Handbags and hair pulling at twenty paces !

I've seen some pretty serious damage done with handbags, hair pulling, claws and canned goods in grocery stores. I'm glad that the ladies didn't have guns and knives at the time.
I can see how you wouldn't want people in uncontrolled emotional state to shoot each other.
Thank you for sharing a cultural perspective from the UK.
I was thinking about that on a walk this afternoon. There are going to be differences between all cultures. Many of us Americans have been through battles to maintain the right to defend family and liberties in our lifetime. I may publish a book on my personal experiences. I shouldn't expect everyone to agree with my cultural and personal perspective about the subject because we have different backgrounds. There's much to learn from Christian Brits.
There are subjects you are probably passionate about that are rooted in deep culture and personal experiences that shaped your life. I've seen what football games are like in different regions and you'd think William Wallace was leading his army.
My favorite actor is/was British and that's a sample of someone highly skilled at his vocation and helped me to enjoy acting in theater through my youth.
When I get into the topic, it's because I taught hand to hand Combat with weapons and without up to recently. One reason that motivated me was the suffering I saw and crimes against my family since I was just 4 years old. I never had any emotional support or therapy. I've gone through things you'd have a hard time believing in my adult years too. I've been attacked by all manner of people with a broad spectrum of weapons, poison, knives, shotgun, handguns, rifles, steel beam, lawfare, fists, thrown from high places, stones, clubs, automobiles, choking and asphyxiation. I found out that there's a lot of lethal weapons besides firearms.
It's been the grace of God I'm still alive to share written online conversations. The Lord used my experiences and training to help impart to decent men, women and children the skill sets necessary for health and survival.
Would it be wrong for the good guys should have more power than the criminals?
