I dunno, I was pointed to that ridiculous book, it wasn't my initiative.. as for the benefits of the colonial days and their perception, check again the title and content of that piece of junk..
There's not much to say about your last sentence, me thinks..

but, and hey, i know it's the OT forum, this is pretty much about gun ownership in the UK.
regardless, have you even considered how insane it would be to flood even more firearms into unstable third world countries. that queue for aid being distributed? with everyone holding a gun as the last sack is handed out with a queue still tailing away?

Only with affluent society do people embrace more civility towards each other. You want to see that civility disappear, just let people that are the "civil and just" ones suffer empty bellies.
We aren't what we seem to be. It would take great strength of convictions not to revert to barbarism when people are starving. I see what the so-called 3rd world is guilty of, and I'd say most of it reverts back to lack and want, with political avarice thrown in for good measure.
If you don't have a gun, you will quickly realize how much effective your high sounding talk and fair debate will do against an armed enemy. That enemy will pop you in the brain pan with his AK47, and never think twice about you.
Expediency, draws a short cord.
