The Commonwealth was a typically idealistic 19th century idea, or perhaps an ideal. Perhaps it was a notion which could be supported, as long as all members of the Commonwealth followed the same rules to at least some extent. Now they don't, certainly, and haven't for decades.

This curious notion of Commonwealth is now provably invalid. Allow absolutely anyone into the country who has the slightest connection with any Commonwealth nation. Don't bother schooling them in the language and traditions of the nation, indeed PROHIBIT doing so. Sponsor programmes, at taxpayer expense quite naturally, that teach these wogs that everyone is equal all the time and under all circumstances, whether one attempts to prosper on his own efforts or not.

Then, disarm the law-abiding population.

Well, the Labour sods have done JUST that, and now they're reaping the whirlwind. Fine. I don't live there anymore, good luck to the idiots.

The question is 'Will America repeat these entirely obvious and moronic mistakes?'

At the moment, my answer is 'yes' to the former part of the error, and 'not yet' to the latter part. I've never in my life as much as held a handgun or rifle.

That changes tomorrow morning.

Best wishes to all Freepers.

Great post.. Durring a recent City Commission (Tallahassee) meeting Mayor Scott Maddox (D), had a "fit" when a councilman suggested, durring a discussion on Domestic Violence, that we look into offering FIREAMRS training for victims of domestic violence...

Thought you might find that interesting..

It seems to me that Britain is undergoing quite a paradox. On the one hand, they ban guns fron their own law-abiding populace with a nazi-like meanness so they can be free to be as tyrannical as they want. On the other hand, they allow every ethnicity havinging a terrorist bent to enter the country and run roughshod over the citizenry thinking that if they are not "judgemental" toward them, they won't attack Brittain.

I wonder if they are even a legitimate government at all if they don't have the safety of their own citizens at heart.

Good Article.What I found amusing was how some Armored Transport people in the U.K. were recently Robbed of 3.2 Million dollars by someone using a KNIFE!Yes thats right,a KNIFE!That is amazing and an incredibly lame way to lose your job!Threatened w/ a knife,that has to be embarrassing.Imagine saying this to your wife: "Honey,I was robbed today.Sure,I'm ok,they got all 3.2Million.Oh no, don't worry honey,it wasn't an evil Gun-Wielder it was just a knife".

SAJ, welcome.... and for my 2 cents worth, .22's a wonderful for practice, learning marksmanship, and just plain fun. They also don't intimidate the ladies so much.

For your home, it's hard to beat a 12 or even 20 gauge shotgun.... at close range ( like in a home ) even birdshot is devastating, and won't carry too far, unlike most rifle and pistol calibres.
