The Passivity of Sheep

When a society is disarmed, they not only lose their ability to defend themselves and others...they lose their inclination. A society disarmed loses their instinct for self preservation and gains a fatal dependence on government apparati.

A nation with sheepdogs can devolve into a nation of sheep. It's also the difference between subjects and citizens.

The recent attack on a British soldier by assassins wielding meat cleavers while bystanders looked on raises the question: “Why didn’t anyone try to help the victim?”

Because British citizens are prohibited from carrying objects that could be used as “offensive weapons.”

While it is well known that Brits cannot carry guns, a lesser known law prohibits any subject of the Queen from carrying a knife of consequence, pepper spray or a stun gun.

According to the United Kingdom government website, the online storehouse of British government regulations, it is illegal to:

    - sell a knife of any kind (including cutlery and kitchen knives) to anyone under 18
    - carry a knife in public without good reason – unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less, eg a Swiss Army knife
    - carry, buy or sell any type of banned knife
    - use any knife in a threatening way (even a legal knife, such as a Swiss Army knife)

According to the UK website, “Having an offensive weapon in a public place without lawful authority or a reasonable excuse can also lead to a fine and/or up to four years in prison.”
