the spirit of the law is there to protect us all.
Yep, that's what the anti's want us to believe, here in the USA, as well. But, as Hook686 (like the Smithie, do ya?) acknowledges, we as a country can easily fall in behind. We've all heard it, but it's as true as ever: "All it takes for the forces of evil to rule the world, is for a few good men to do nothing."
I have to agree, that rather than poke fun at, or ridicule Great Britain, we 'merikuns better start beating the drum louder and louder. We're truly not that far behind, and if you don't believe it, remember... many Brits and Aussies didn't think their guns would end up being taken, chopped, and smelted, either. And with the front-page drama in the papers every day, do you feel secure about this next presidential election? I sure don't. I'm likely to write in Rick and Bubba for president.
Sure wish half the energy used in this debate on internet forums was directed toward writing and calling and visiting your senators and congressmen.
Here's a wake-up for ya: do you even know the names of those who represent YOU in DC? If you don't, here's a hot tip: get off THR long enough to Google who they are, and let them know who YOU are and what YOU think.
But please, don't just do nothing.
And ranting on forums on the web is the same as doing nothing.
