That was truly awful to watch.
In the UK every law abiding citizen has been disarmed. Handguns were banned in the wake of Dunblane. Any knife with a blade over 3 inches is illegal to carry, and even then if under 3 inches is carried concealed and you cannot justify it's use for utility, you can go to jail. Even palm sticks and kobutan keyrings are now under scrutiny. Every year various corners of the Government call for Boxing and now MMA to be banned. Pretty soon it will be illegal to stay in shape, have locks on your doors, or care about protecting your family (which of course makes you a vigilante).
Oh yeah, and you can't even get in anywhere wearing steel toed boots.
