(In the midst of london riots, there was among English people "a 5,000% increase in purchases of baseball bats from Amazon."  "Handguns? Parliament banned their possession in 1997." One Brit "brought [police] a shotgun he found in his garden. For doing this personally--instead of asking the police to retrieve it--he received a five-year sentence" which was suspended finally after a public outcry. "Knives? It's illegal for anyone under age 18 to buy one, and using a knife for self-defense is unlawful.")
