"But lest we think that England has a monopoly on stupid laws, let us never forget one of the most important lessons from the Los Angeles riots: guns save lives, and gun control only encourages bad people to prey upon disarmed victims."

His summation is spot on and bears repeating again and again.

I would go further and point out that our major cities with high crime and handgun bans, still havn't figured it out yet, even though the folks living in them have.

If the Brits had a collective brain between them they would have adopted our constitution a long time ago. They deserve whatever happens to them.

I really wish I could find an editorial on the Back Page of Defense Electronics maganizine (I think it's now Security and Defense Electronics) from about the Fall of 1985.

The theme was the gun freedom laws (AKA 2nd amendment) were promulgated by the tyrant royal class in Europe who raised taxes so high they couldn't be paid.

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.

Any link to this article would be appreciated.

British Subjects Beginning to Rethink Gun Control

As long as they have the mindset of "subjects", they are just haggling over the weight of their chains.

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.

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.

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