But lets turn this around, lets say that instead of a revolution you left the empire peacefully, lets say you never had the second amendment, and you never had a need for guns before just like Britain.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Kinda hard to leave the party with a boot on ones neck. No hard feelings, we hope.

If so, you might get over it. Some day.

What are you on about.

Does no one understand what this meant.

re : But lets turn this around, lets say that instead of a revolution you left the empire peacefully, lets say you never had the second amendment, and you never had a need for guns before just like Britain.

I am not talking about the sodding revolution I am trying to get people to think sideways or laterally.

I know most here are civvies and very few of you have ever worked in Intelligence but sideways think is as natural as ordinary thinking, well it is to me.

The gist of my argument is, that any government faced with a NEW threat , a NEW threat , I will say it once more a , a NEW threat. Will react by trying to eliminate that threat hence the Gun Ban.

The only good thing is that all this debating with American freepers is giving me great experience for when I have to argue with my own children when they are teenagers.

Having to make the same point over and over again, dealing with stubborn people who disagree with you but when you are not explaining what you believe in, but instead are relating facts as to how a situation came about. Trying to get them to understand another point of view outside there own box

LOL my kids will have no chance Cheers Tony
