That was never my intention Lisi. The sexes could have been interchanged and it would still have been an equally bad court decision. The point I think that defines our differences is that when we setup this government 200+ years ago, history had taught us that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Hence what we call the Bill of Rights was added to our constitution before the individual states would seriously consider ratifying it. That Bill of Rights, including the famous 2nd amendment, gave us the tools to change that government by force if it should get too oppressive. The equally famous 1st (free speech) gave us the right to talk about how that might be accomplished. You, Lisi, on the other hand have what is supposed to be a weapon free society, but in reality you can be mugged and murdered with a baseball bat on your way to the corner store for a loaf of bread and a pint of Guinness. Legally, you have no way of fighting back to preserve your life. If in fighting back, you injure the perp, it is you who have to pay the legal consequences because he'll sue you. We read the news here too, when the mainsleeze news sites feel like its worth reporting. Even the BBC seems to be colored more by reporting on the media "stars" than on the you and me stuff in ore recent history. IMO there is something seriously wrong with that whole scene... Such jerks as do that abound in every society. Neither of us have a patent on that. And the results are the same, you are dead and the perp has the 10 lb note that was in your pocket. In WW-II, we gathered up several thousand of our sporting arms and sent them to England along with a good supply of ammo so you all had a chance of fighting for your homeland should Hitler have ordered his troops across the channel. All were recorded as to who they belonged to so that there might be a chance that Iowa farmer may have gotten his fathers prized Parker shotgun, now worth 5 to 10 thousand dollars, back when the "festivities" were over. But whats Churchill do? He rounds them all up, loads them on a barge and dumps them in the channel. Some very finely made, by the best artisans, including some of your Holland and Holland made double rifles, probably worth 10 million or more as a group. There are a few still alive who remember that double cross clearly. My own grandfather was one who lost a fine Fox double barrel 12 gauge that way. He just shrugged his shoulders as a good Christian man, but you had to know he was disappointed, and that should that scenario be repeated, he would not be so charitable again. Lisi, your are indeed a dear lady, dinner & drinks are on me should we ever meet, but both of us are mentally painted, or tainted, depending on ones point of reference, in the manner of the society we have lived in all our lives. Here, the game belongs to the state, but only convicted felons are precluded from hunting, and that is because they have lost the right to own such a weapon. Here in WV for instance, and me being a genuine oldtimer past 65, my drivers license IS my hunting and fishing license, the only costs are for the trout stamps as that is a federal program. > Some of us write to try and be understood.
