Oh, I see, so you discriminate against young and singles. Also, the official granting the permits could pick and choose who to give the permits to on his pleasure by deciding who, on his perspective have "crazy eyes". And finally, notice that it is not necessary that it be determined, or at least strong suspicion based on real evidence, that the single youth actually came out of an Al-Qaeda camp, but only that he looks like he did. Again, the permission is then totaly arbitrary to the official's whim, in which case it is a priviledge not a right.
Cpt. Sir, pardon me if I am wrong, but from the racist and discriminatory tones of your posts, I am on the impression that the only reason you have guns in England as you state is because that "Cpt Sir" in front of your name gives you sympathies among the permit-granting officials as you seem to belong to a different "cast" from the peasants around you, and that you are glad that the peasants around you aren't allowed to have the guns you do.
Aren't you just upset that, perhaps because Americans don't like cast systems, Taxachussetts doesn't recognize your distinction and denies you access to firearms just like they do with everybody else?
