    It was 1984 in the UK a long time ago.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    The argument could be made that we are worse considering both sides of the issue here (ruling class and peons) know better (willful ignorance not being an excuse) while the serfs there could possibly claim legit ignorance to at least some extent.

    With the current state of our dreadful public schools and Leftist indoctrination centers (universities) it is probable that there is a majority here that do not know better.

    That would be the willfully ignorant part. I graduated early 1990's so most of the fine, yet blatant, details got danced around or completely left out. So US history classes only had Patrick Henry's "The War Inevitable" speech being 1 sentence long and similar other things. So, we still got the gist of limited government not limited government when convenient to the powers that be which isn't limited at all.

    Do they even serve steaks in London any longer? Without a steak knife, I guess you can pick it up with both hands and gnaw on it like some prehistoric savage. What we are witnessing is the devolution of the modern social order. This has to be some kind of madness in the brain created by preservatives or pesticides.

    Don’t they boil their steaks?
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    Back in my Army days, I spent time in England visiting friends at RAF bases. In London's Victoria section down the road from Buckingham Palace, I once went to the "American Steakhouse". The meat was OK, but I was disappointed in the salad I ordered. With the steak came some small pieces of lettuce, a couple of slices of beets - that was a salad.
    As far as British food, the only thing they do right are pastries. Everything else is bland. I'd have to take a bottle of Tabasco or some other hot sauce to spice things up.

    Too bad the Brits have gone down the road of emasculation. I know there are still a lot of Real Men and Real Women in formerly "Great" Britain just cringing at what has happened to the place. For those folks, I fee sorry.
