Noted. Don't send weapons/ammo to the UK if they are attacked. England did not mind begging for weapons and ammo when Hitler was beating their door down. No, they dragged America into their war. We lost countless lives and the American people suffered greatly to secure your freedoms. You simply don't have a horse in this race.

Chill out guys.....Something really bad just happened over there (I think we can all agree on that regardless of our opinions on the cause) and emotions are running high.
A little more consideration and understanding wouldn't hurt.....These were kids FFS!
It is worth pointing out as a matter of historical accuracy that the UK actually lost slightly more lives in WWII than the USA:
USA - 418,500
UK - 450,900
By comparison:
USSR - 23,400,000

Not a great selection of people to interview for this video...
Who will have old style views on politics, lets see... anyone over the age of 50!
Not 1 single young person seen in that video, even the hidden policeman said he joined in the 80's so hes old too.
this video is a great example of deception, I'm sure the people who made it was well aware of the types of people to speak to to get their point across I could go out and make a similar video but I'll only speak to well educated college folk and see what they have to say...
and what exactly does age have to do with the facts. young people love justin bieber too, doesnt make it good music.
btw older people are usually wiser, if you dont want a gun then dont buy one. no one is forcing you to use/buy/hold a gun.

When I started this thread, my intention was to show that we are not alone and that our brothers across the pond respected our love for freedom. Look what has happened here, division and infighting between brothers and sisters! I have nothing against our British cousins, I have nothing but the utmost respect. Here is a time when we should be coming together for a common cause, freedom and equality for all. I am truly sorry everyone, I hoped for something different out of this post.

Members must ask yourselves this. How do we know that the posters here are Brits? Anyone can throw a "chap" or "govna" in a sentence and seem British. I'm not so sure these people are not government agents trying to sway American sentiment. You just never know!

Only fools give up their guns. Criminals always goan have 'em! Only thing a gun ban solves is effectively neutering the law abiding citizens from protecting their homes, property and family, 'cuz i guarantee, Black Market always goan be in business an' bidness be explodin' when guns get banned.
You are probably about as British as I am Romulan. Go back to Langley and tell your masters that you have failed.

the only reason we were able to eradicate slavery in the US was because the big guys overseas, wanted the federal government to have access to king like powers. they used the slavery issue to guarantee it would happen. otherwise, we'd still be having to smuggle slaves out of slavery camps. now they've managed to convince the ancestors of the slaves, that they should enslave and kill, the ancestors of the people who helped to bust them out of their situation. whoever is running this monstrosity, is diabolically brilliant and a real piece of work.
that's why we need guns, unfortunately.edit on 18-12-2012 by undo because: (no reason given)
