I'd say given the state of our own politics & CA/NY/NJ/MA &c gun laws that we might hesitate just a bit before so criticising the British. A number of my own Ancient Grandfathers engaged in armed conflict with George III's guys. Though our family still remembers, we are finally done with the anger.Well, one last thought on Mr. Hughes:
Merica used arms to defeat its tyrannical king, setting in motion the creation of the greatest and freest nation on the planet. Those oppressed by the king were endowed with wisdom modern society cannot fathom. That wisdom led to this representative form of government, but more importantly, to individual freedoms and RIGHTS no other nation on earth can proclaim.
I suggest you go back to Britain and fulfill your role of serf to your government. Be sure to take Piers Morgan with you, y'all have plenty in common!
