Doubtful, but I hope that you are right. If not, look at the problems that Sweden is having now.

Sweden has allowed them in, we try to keep them out, when we get out of he EU and the ECHR we can send more of them back.

Good reason not to live over there. Especially since the UK has a violent crime rate 5 times higher than the US.
Not in my experience. I feel far safer here knowing that none of my neighbours are tooled up and that the worst that can happen if i get involved in an altercation is a black eye or cracked ribs rather than getting my brains blown out (and before anyone mentions the straw men of knives or cars, (a) there are strictly enforced laws against possession of knives in public so I have no real fears there, (b) in the extremely unlikely event of someone pulling a knife in a fight you can run away from a knife and (c) if someone drives their car at you at speed then liberal gun laws are not much help as the recent tragic events at Charlottesville have demonstrated.

So give me British 'totalitarianism' (LOL; you guys crack me up! ) over American 'freedom to be shot' anytime; how's that 'freedom' from 'big government ' going down in Houston? Doesn't look like the authorities there are getting their act together to do anything to help vulnerable people like the poor and those in nursing homes.

Fine. Live in danger 5 times worse than the US. Force your wife and kids to live in danger 5 times worse than the US.

If you don't care, I don't care.

If that means not having my wife accidentally shot by one of my kids as seems to happen with depressing regularity as do your shooting spree massacres in the US then, yes, I'm perfectly fine with that. As is my wife, for the record

Not any more. The new Mayor is "one of them." Sadiq Khan.
One of what, exactly? A Muslim? Help, Help! Mr Mayor's a Muzzie! Head for the hills!

Sorry, but I'm not going.to be dictated to by irrational fears, particularly not as a child of God.

Funny, I don't ever remember that happening. I am sure it has, but I have never heard of it. It is definitely not common.

They are more like highly rational warnings.

You're assuming from the get-go that the intruder is a deadly threat. What if the intruder is a teenager that is unarmed? Easily scared off with a gun pointing at him.

Your ignorance is simply astounding.

Texas prisons are full of teen agers doing time for crimes of violence. They have no respect for anyone and don't scare easily.

I would argue that a teenage intruder is far more dangerous than an adult, because he's far less predictable.

I agree. I have never heard of such a case either. Not in all my 70+ years. Just more anti liberty propaganda.
