We’re not like you. We don’t want guns here.
I guess FB, Twitter, Google etc, all American platforms, aren’t already censoring free speech… what good is free speech without a platform? Rather like pissing into the ocean trying to raise sea levels.
This is an aspect which I repeatedly stress to Americans and also, unbelievably, Europeans … who seem unaware that they have no basic right to voice their opinions or beliefs.
Imagine using a photo of a Star Wars character for a meme on Twitter, and then being sued for using the image by Disney

This legislation will apply to all social media companies with more than 100,000 users – so basically any website worth using
…phew! I’m safe
I want guns here. In a few years we are going to need them!
Then perhaps you should stand for election in your local area and make guns part of your manifesto. See how far you get.
…hmmm

Most of us over in the “colonies” don’t care. Not that I was suggesting you SHOULD have guns or anything. But please, continue. 
Good. Live and let live.

Kudos! 
Instant worldwide information (truth or fiction) is the bane of despotic endeavors.
Government control of the narrative is required for government control of the people.
Political parties require promulgation of their lies and suppression of the opposing party’s truth in order to attain and maintain power over the people.
All governments are despotic by their very nature, hence why placing blind trust in that government in the hopes they won’t abuse that trust is utterly foolhardy. We are supposed to be the final arbiters of their power, otherwise you get what we have wound up with. Representatives who sell us out to foreign interests and more and more legislation taking away our rights, privileges, immunities, and freedoms. Government may be a necessary evil, but it is an evil nonetheless and should be guarded against at all costs. Too bad that didn’t happen in the US even though we were warned what would happen if it didn’t as we wouldn’t be where we are now if it had.
If you think people can’t be trusted to have wealth and govern their own affairs and your solution is more government made up of people you somehow implicitly trust … you might be a Progressive.

Not sure if anyone listens to David Icke…he was a popular soccer player, and no he talks about the Global Government, and how they are setting up to “take over the world”. I guessed, you could call him a conspiracy theorist. But he doesn’t talk like most do. He actually breaks down his issues and discusses them rationally. But my point is, he brought this “Totalitarian” up many of times in his speeches and videos.
He has many videos on this topic on youtube. From Globalists to Secret Societies.

He was a prominent newscaster. Can’t remember now if he was an anchor-man or one of the progressives like the ‘dangerous’ Kate Adie or Laura Kuensberg (sp?) who happily don a flak-jacket and helmet and report from Raqqa about how the bombing is destroying the local flowers … and other fauna.
Do you speak for all of the UK?
I’m in the UK… 
If we were to have a referendum on whether to bring in firearms that anyone can buy with no checks, just like in the US, the result would be an overwhelming no. Even with checks I would think no also.
I guess it’s a lot to do with what you’re used to. You lot have grown up with guns. I have never seen a gun in real life, other than on police or the army or in a museum.
Doesn’t seem to be working out very well for you.
Your increases in violent crime are staggering, a few examples.
Police recorded 39,598 offences involving a knife or sharp instrument in the year to December 2017, a 22% increase compared with the previous year (32,468), and the highest number registered since comparable records started in 2010
In the overall category of “violence against the person”, there were 1.3m crimes were logged, a rise of a fifth on 2016.
Robbery, or mugging – a crime involving the use or threat of violence – was up 33%.
Depends if you believe a Communist rag or not.
