More mayhem from England

This article reports how three men armed with samurai swords attacked a clerk at a gas station in England on Sunday. The men slashed the clerk in the back of the head, which required several staples at the hospital. The robbers fled in a stolen car with about £250 in cash and cigarettes.

Here we see how well the "knife amnesty" is working. The thugs ignore the laws already in place, and use whatever they want to rob, injure and create mayhem. The store clerk, on the other hand, has no legal means to defend himself, and must take on these criminals with his bare hands. I wonder how the situation would have ended up if the law-abiding citizen had been able to have a firearm to protect himself and his store. I'll bet the thugs would think twice before pulling the same stunt if they thought that the clerk might be able to fight back.
