Considering the production costs of 9 lbs of metal (3ish kilos I guess) versus the size and effort required to produce and maintain a house...
Yes. It is quite a bit easier.

I'm not talking about the costs, I'm talking about the laws. Why do you think it's easier to get a house in the UK than a gun?
-
Couldn't tell you. A millenia of colonialism and monarch public restrictions? How's your "heaviest public surveillance in the world" city treating you?
-
Very well actually. Those who don't commit crimes don't have much reason to fear the surveillance.
-
That sounds like an awesome way to have 0 personal liberties
-
I don't really see how CCTV strips me of all my personal liberties. I still have the right to life, freedom of speech, freedom of religious expression, the right to congregate and every other right a developed country should have.
-
I should have been more exact in my wording. The ideology that constant surveillance is OK if you have nothing to hide sounds like an open invitation to have a government entity live on your shoulder. That's not the kind of world I would want to live in.

It depends on how you feel about your government.

Haha well being an American with the NSA and the CIA and how they play ball, they don't give me much confidence. Not even for my safety. I dont like what we do to the rest of the planet either. My government won't not be a dick to people until their nose is literally being rubbed in their abuses, and even then it is questionable if they'll stop. Ask Angela Merkel.
-
Haha, it's hard to blame you. Still, nobody is good or bad for no reason. If you feel your government is acting against the best interests of the populace, then you ought to ask what they have to gain from not not being a dick. Sometimes the ends are worth the means. [spoiler]sometimes they're not[/spoiler] Now if you'll excuse me, I have more angry patriots telling me to "kill myself" that I need to laugh at.

Yikes. Keep fighting the good fight.
