Right to Self-Defence
The fundamental right to protect yourself and your family.
In Britain, the right to self-defence has been systematically eroded. You can be prosecuted for defending your home. You cannot carry anything for protection. The law treats victims and criminals with equal suspicion.
Britain's Approach
British law requires you to retreat, to use only "reasonable force," and to hope the police arrive in time. Homeowners who defend themselves face prosecution. Carrying pepper spray is illegal. The state has effectively monopolised the right to protection-and consistently fails to provide it.
The American Principle
The Second Amendment recognises that the right to self-defence is fundamental. Americans can protect their homes, their families, and themselves. "Castle doctrine" laws mean you have no duty to retreat in your own home. The right to bear arms ensures that criminals face real consequences for their choices.
"The right to defend yourself is the most basic human right. Britain has taken it away."
What Statehood Means
As the 51st state, British citizens would have Second Amendment rights. This doesn't mean everyone must own a gun-it means you have the choice. It means you can defend your family without fear of prosecution. It means criminals know that citizens can fight back.
Self-defence is not about violence-it's about the fundamental right to protect what matters most. America recognises this right. Britain does not.
