Just watched an Australian program about their courts. A fellow who designed and made a crossbow in his garage was charged because it wasn’t registered. The difference between “Subjects” (aka Serfs) and “Citizens”. The Left wishes to make Subjects (or corpses) of us all.

***The difference between “Subjects” (aka Serfs) and “Citizens”***

I am reminded of pre-gun England when a person was required to be armed. In the wars with the French Englishmen used the bow to good use against the French.

The French found they could take their serfs and make good bowmen out of them, but there arose a problem. It seems the serfs, when armed, felt themselves to be FREE MEN and, after the wars were over, were reluctant to return to serfdom.

So the French preferred to hire Genoese crossbowmen.
