There's always been a certain perception in some circles that Europe is ahead of the United States in so many ways. Even if it's just in the arts or style, people often look to Europe as the epicenter of so many things. While that's not always untrue, two of the big cases where it is happen to be on the topic of gun control and dealing with crime.
This was brought to life recently by a 14-year-old girl named Mayah Sommers.
You've probably seen her, but just in case you haven't, here's her making a stand.

Here's what happened before the cameras started rolling.
On a Saturday evening in Dundee's St Ann Lane, police were called after reports of a girl wielding a bladed weapon.
According to witnesses, the confrontation involved migrants who had allegedly been harassing her, with one reportedly recording the encounter. Police Scotland later confirmed that a 14-year-old girl was charged and would be reported to the authorities.
Yet instead of condemnation, Sommers' arrest ignited fury online. Critics argued that a child should never have to resort to carrying weapons to feel safe. In modern Britain, however, pepper spray and even basic self-defence tools are illegal, leaving vulnerable young women with no legal means of protection.
Europe's Protection Failure: A Brutal Reality
The episode has come to symbolise what many call a systemic failure across Europe: the inability, or unwillingness, of authorities to shield their own citizens, particularly young girls, from migrant crime.
The outrage echoes beyond Scotland, with commentators framing the event as a glaring sign of Europe's broken system.
'Our societies have failed them,' one viral comment read, while others blasted the European establishment for being more concerned with policing "racism" than tackling the root causes of assault threats.
Sommers has now been dubbed "Queen of Scots," and not for nothing. She's being hailed across the internet as just that, as well as other things. Some have likened her to Boudicca, the British warrior queen who fought the Romans. Others have just presented her like Eowyn from Return of the King, standing before a wounded King Theoden.
It's all pretty based, though.
As noted in the above-quoted section, the confrontation wasn't out of the blue. The girl and her younger sister were being harassed by a group of "migrants," the same kind of which have been accused of making up grooming and rape gangs throughout the British Isles.
When these people get caught, though, they're often given slaps on the wrist because apparently, their culture didn't realize that raping young girls was wrong. This has been going on for quite some time, and it's freaking disgusting.
Yet also as noted, people are denied even less lethal self-defense tools. People can't protect themselves from violent gangs, yet the government will not protect them, either.
They're too busy arresting people for X posts, after all.
The United Kingdom decided a while back that people would be denied the means of protecting themselves. They tripped over themselves to ban anything and everything they can that might be used by a bad guy, which also tends to mean anything that can be used to protect oneself. They've created a culture of victimhood.
I don't want to condone a 14-year-old girl carrying around weapons with the intention of hurting people, but I damn sure get it. Someone has to do something, and the British government won't. They're charging Sommers, while the men who harassed her and put her into a position where she felt she had to draw steel seem to be getting away with it. I don't want to condone it, but what other choice did she really have?
Now, the young girl is a rallying point in a fight that goes beyond her protecting herself and her sister from potentially being raped.
Maybe, just maybe, things will change to the point that rapists get chopped up or, preferably, shot. If their cultures don't realize rape is wrong, then it's up to the British people to make sure they at least learn it's not worth the risk.
And it's taking a 14-year-old girl to show them the way.
Editor's note: While we're not in the same boat as the UK, anti-gun and pro-illegal immigration forces desperately want us to end up in the same place.
