I’d like all the British war vets to come live in North Carolina! We’ll show them the respect they deserve, and let them carry their rifles any time they want.
Fortunately, the rest of the council showed better common sense:
In Chepstow, the call to ban rifles was rejected by councillors
but the mere fact that this official felt the need to express a desire for such a ludicrous change of a proud and honorable tradition suggests a complete disconnect with reality on her part.
Although North Carolina is legendary for scenic beauty as well as an overwhelmingly sane and friendly population, it seems that these Vets may not need to leave the country that they fought for quite yet, as this story appears to be creating outrage throughout the U.K. :-)
