That could happen too. Though they (the thugs that did this) still could have been armed with illegal firearms in the UK, and of course the lawabiding citizens would not have. Actaully, there is nothing, not even a cane sword or the like that those two could have used to fight back. I'd rather always have a chance of fighting back, rather than being a helpless victim. most of the time crimes like this aren't done with guns anyways. Part of the sick thrill and enjoyment to the assaulters is beating the living hell out of someone, and usually they aren't trying to kill (not in their minds at least), rather maime. In many cases (that I see in the newspaper overhere all the time) someone draws a weapon to a would be attacker and they flee. No shots fired, or anything.
