I believe this is why the Cincinnati riots and Seattle Mardi Gras trouble were downplayed in the news.Too many more people would open their eyes if they got the truth.

Will we ever know how many deaths are caused by the waiting periods?

...they accepted payment from the peasants by "renting" the children of over-taxed peasants and sexually abusing them. Both men and women of the "Royals" participated....

Uh huh.

How come people as gullible as you aren't around, whenever I'm selling a car?

Heffer used to believe there was an implicit contract between law-abiding citizens and the state. The people surrender certain freedoms to the government, and officials would in turn use their power to control crime.

They're not citizens, they're subjects. They have no rights, only crown-granted priviledges.

...crime has gotten so bad, Heffer says, that Brits like himself are beginning to reexamine their long-held assumptions about the government's role in controlling crime....

That shift is on here too, Peace. And maybe in Canada, from what I've read. It's taken too long, of course, but perhaps gun grabbers are going to have to answer, in future, for the suffering their lies have caused.

...and fortunate enough to have a group of very brave men who valued Liberty over life some 200+ years ago....

Thanks, Mulder.

Glad to see someone here acknowledges the contribution made to the Revolution's success by English parliamentarians like Fox and Burke.

Mulder...

Socialists gladly bow for the yoke or wear the noose. For some reason they have difficulty standing on their own feet proclaiming their freedom, they seem to be embarrassed by such a thing.

Come, come. All the Brits need is to spend more money and hire more cops. Money, that's the ticket! /sarcasm

Nope, we have rights.

Anyway, the great irony is that it's Parliament that's taken most of our arms-bearing freedoms away, not the Crown: under the latter, it used to be the law that all freemen had to bear arms!

Time to ditch the bloody MPs and appeal direct to the Crown ;-)

I still think the best way to get things back on track is to work within the GOP, as Reagan did.

I agree, that is our best option.
