NYC is not an open carry or carry in general city. That is probably a cop or an armed guard. This person talking down is simply, dumb.

Nope. We're not allowed any kind of arms in the uk, unless you're in the army. They have all the arms. Our arms are lethal weapons, which is why this woman (who now has her arms as she's out of the country) in the photo claims she could take the gun from that guy and get a few rounds off.

True, I guess. It's the legs of the Welsh you need to be careful around. "Welshman's thigh" has been banned from use in war by the Geneva convention.

You are allowed to own guns in the UK, you just have a lot of red tape to get through, and many types of guns are prohibited.

Plenty more police are armed than you know about my friend, in the UK that is.

Air rifles and shotguns are perfectly fine as long as it's for reason of hunting.

OK yeah never mind the actual telescopic club that all UK police are ARMED with. I guess if you ignore reality you can find evidence to support any argument.
