Yeah I know carrying a knife is a crime in the UK. It's stupid as fuck. You can carry a knife, sword, or full on rifle down the sidewalk the US. You might get harassed by curious cops but it's legal nearly everywhere.

>Those are all fair… and about safe and civil societies

Nothing safe and civil about denying people the only means possible for them to fend off a group of attackers, or denying free speech to people.

>At least we can’t be arrested for crossing the road in the wrong place and we can drink at a reasonable age

Haha yeah the drinking thing is stupid in the US. Jaywalking is rarely enforced unless you are suspected of a serious crime, or else running across a high-speed road in plain view of cops.

We have free speech in the UK but it comes with responsibility

Weapons don’t allow you to defend yourself… if that was true the number of gun deaths in the US would be lower
