I'm not thinking the government is "out to get me", but I think the government can and does make decisions with short sighted thoughts. If people scream loudly enough, they are usually heard, but the government should be quick to look into things more thoroughly, such as how other countries have faired getting rid of their firearms, or even how certain laws being passed have affected the publics reactions. Decisions are too often made becuase of political stature, or give and take, not because the subject was debated with an open mind. Most of this problem is our governmental system, but the point still remains.

The way you worded it you seemed to be commenting on the sign and what it said as a reason to keep guns... but either way I still don't understand how that's a logical take on the topic.

I am assuming you are still talking about my comment on the sign, so to clarify my point, the government thought they were doing everyone right by implimenting these laws, but it totally backfired on them which made the UK citizens wary of the decision makers in the country. If you watched the whole video you would have seen the man that is in jail for life because he protected himself from intruders for the 3rd time that year. So it's not like the government helped out here. If you think that protest was bad in England, try that here and see what happens. You try getting broken into 3 times, and when you finally put a stop to it, and when the dust settles, the government is pointing at you as the person that was wrong and see where you sit on the subject. (not you personally matty, just you in general) I totally understand why they are upset at the government. They made a mistake and now they need to correct it.
