I just saw this article and wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. Seems like people in London are buying up aluminum baseball bats to protect themselves from thugs with all the riots taking place over there.

What restrictions has London Yard put on the bats? BBCOR, BESR? Are composites allowable?

When criminals know you are not armed, they are more likely to target you. An armed society is a strong society. Allow citizens the right to bear arms and people won"t feel the need to keep a baseball bat behind their door. Obviously, I'm not politically correct, but the UK asked for the lawlessness they are seeing when they banned all firearms from the country. I don't believe even the police are permitted to carry firearms there. "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns".
