    Yes, we bought it from the English at a highly-discounted price. All we had to give them was Madonna.

    Revolutionaries only outnumbered Loyalists by a small percentage during our own revolutionary war. Just enough. Most people were neutral. But the Brits didn't have the grip on the Colonies the Federal Government does now. In the end, you have to hope the good guys outnumber the bad guys.

    I read 18%, or a little more than 1 in 6 supported the revolution actively. Interesting tidbit of info.

    To answer the subject line, it's really simple. They're not. That's why!

    Swiss are good at making Swiss cheese but are hardly the folks to tell us how to play with our toys! Guns are not the problem, they are the solution!

    The Oberoi Group employs many plainclothes security officers in its hotels, but these are unarmed, Oberoi said. Obtaining a license for even a single officer to carry a gun is extremely difficult in India, which has tight gun control laws.

    Another Epic Failure in a Gun-Free Zone...

    No need to worry, with domestic troop deployments, we won't need guns for protection anymore.

    For anybody who still believed in it, the Mumbai shootings exposed the myth of “gun control”. India had some of the strictest firearms laws in the world, going back to the Indian Arms Act of 1878, by which Britain had sought to prevent a recurrence of the Indian Mutiny.

    The guns used in last week’s Bombay massacre were all “prohibited weapons” under Indian law, just as they are in Britain. In this country we have seen the irrelevance of such bans (handgun crime, for instance, doubled here within five years of the prohibition of legal pistol ownership), but the largely drug-related nature of most extreme violence here has left most of us with a sheltered awareness of the threat. We have not yet faced a determined and broad-based attack.

    I got forwarded this today in my email. This is from an English publication. The mere fact that such ideas as these used to be unthinkable in England underscores the importance of this article.
