she said she called herself English or Irish depending on who was winning at soccer.

That's funny.

Meh. It’s annoying.

Maybe we start writing LTTE’s to European papers and see if we can make a few statist heads explode.

good to hear, I’m looking for another actually, a smaller one for my wife to carry and a shot gun for the house.

My husband took a Dutch friend (need I say liberal Euroweenie?) to a huge gun show in Houston at the AstroDome years ago. The man was stunned out of his mind at the numbers of guns he saw there. He said he didn't know that many guns existed in the entire world and here there were that many guns for sale in Houston Texas. He was gobsmacked. I thought it was funny.

He’s Irish and living in France.

Must like getting into bar fights and not getting his ass kicked.

My sister has friends from England that live on their block in Seattle.

They are terrified that one of their neighbors has a gun. So much so they have called the police on one ocasion (right after they found out the guy had a hunting rifle).

My neighbors sleep well at night after watching me spread my gun rug on my tailgate and clean all of my favorites after a trip to the local range.....

The UK gave in a long time ago.

I fear for my country, especially under the current administration.
