Excellent post, Frankie.

Curious that none of the anti-gun crowd respond - w/any logic that is - to the argument that if one is old enough to fight and die for his country, they should be able to purchase said firearms, eh?

That's what the army is for in civilised countries.

You can join the army at 17 but can't drink a beer in many places till 21.

All pretty goofy ain't it. Was even worse before they lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. No beer and no say in the government that was sending 18 year olds to war.

We'll just have to find some suitable targets for the boys now and make sure they won't hurt themselves, or each other, during the love-feast.

Looks like he's been missing me.

Haven't posted on his site for a while, got a bit too childish over there.
Imagine an admin deleting a smilie from the menu because one of his political opponents uses it frequently.

Boon Mee · 27-04-2008, 07:53 PM

Heh...from the BBC no less!

"Despite the fact there are more than 200 million guns in circulation, there is a certain tranquility and civility about American life. . . . I have met incredulous British tourists who have been shocked to the core by the peacefulness of the place, the lack of the violent undercurrent so ubiquitous in British cities, even British market towns. . . . It is a paradox. Along with the guns there is a tranquillity and civility about American life of which most British people can only dream."

I guess when a society is armed, it becomes a polite society, eh?

Yes, he's probably correct, which is why so many of complain about Chav anti-culture which is ruining much of the UK.

Happy now?

Interesting. I never felt threatened in England.

Then again, I was armed with a GAU and a Baretta.
