Not weak enough to want to sacrifice everyone’s second amendment rights in their entirety like you want us to do Neph. I can believe that there are some lefties here who legitimately don’t want to slowly take away everyone’s guns one step at a time, but you have stated that as your actual goal.

TBF, people with his mindset are needed to counter the "No gun laws; no gun regulations; no gun control!" people. Hopefully we meet somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

With the exception of DarthSkywalker0 whose an anarchocapitalist, I don’t think anyone else holds that stance.

Honestly, "anarchocapitalist" just sound like something someone says they are because they think it sounds cool; makes them look edge. Anyhow.
Which stance, that people like Neph are needed to counter-balance the other extreme or that the want to meet somewhere in the middle? Cos I'd argue that more people would be happy meeting in the middle if they really put their egos aside for a moment and thought about it.

Oh trust me I know the guy personally, and he’s not doing it to be an edgelord. He has a very specific set of principles where he views non-consensual coercion by force to give some of your property and liberty to the government as indefensible. As much as I disagree with him politically and would never want to live in such a society I respect his adherence to his principles and his skill as a political debater.
As far as gun control goes, I don’t think there’s a gaping failure in actual gun law, but rather the beurocracy responsible for property getting the relevant information into the background check system.

It is pretty much because of this Mind Set that The U.S said **** England back in the 17 hundreds. But then we get to laugh now as England gets ****ED by the Islamic Invasion that is going on there now.
England is Truly ****ED and ****ED HARD!!!!

Depends on how one defines "perfectly fine" doesn't it? Isn't knife violence a growing problem there? England has become a pretty screwed up place IMO. Hell you can get fined for cursing in certain areas there can't you?

Not particularly on either case. Knife crime isn't an especially big deal outside of London and never actually lead to many casualties. Obviously without guns its the next deadliest thing readily available but its far less lethal. As far as I know there are only a few hundred deaths per year compared to the tens of thousands of gun deaths in the US. And you can get fined only if an officer asks you to stop and you continue to act in a hostile and intimidating manner. I've never heard of it actually happening though.
If this was America the officer would probably just shoot, taze or mace you.
...violent crimes from knives and guns IS a growing problem. And personally I wouldn't consider a growing problem like that to be "perfectly fine". That's not to say that the crimes happen with anywhere near the frequency that they do in the USA, it would be an absolute epidemic if that were the case due to the difference in populations, but you just can't say that violent crimes going up THAT much in a single year is an indication of a system that can be pointed to as one that's actually working.

Its been going up for a few years but that's hardly any cause for alarm. In all likelihood it's because May restricted Stop and Search policy. All it needs is some refinement in policy, compared to the cultural shift needed to right the US. At the end of the day violent crime will always occur and it'll probably occur at similar rates in both the UK and the US with whichever method the population can access. The difference is that firearms are far more lethal than knives are and can kill vastly more people in a shorter amount of time. If its a choice between one or the other clearly the latter is preferable. And I did factor in the differences in population (and it should also be noted that the UK criteria for violent crime and the US criteria are pretty different).
Besides, it isn't like you can ban knives, they're an every day item.
