The snide remarks in response to a little leg pulling from one of our British friends are tiresome. Lighten up. Have a beer. Enjoy the weekend.

Gunman - thanks for the leg-pull. Based on this thread and the one about Dig's "dig" about inferior American guns, it would seem we've been slower to get over it then y'all have been. Cheers, Ham
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Thanks for the reminder, gunman.
OBTW, my condolences on the loss of your former prime minister, the Iron Lady, M. Thatcher. I am a great admirer of her, and fondly remember the days when she, and the great POTUS R. Reagan, led in the dismantling of the USSR and in ending the Cold War.
She was truly a great leader, one all females should aspire to, IMO. Hats off to G. Britain for rearing her, and sharing her with the free world.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Jim, we've got plenty of guns. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights allows it. Just wait until Obama has examined yours. Remember that when yours was written the most technologically advanced personal weapon was a flintlock rifle; they may just deceide that everything that came after that is not relevent.:-) Lagopus..... lagopus: That's fine: Then we'll just have to maintain that everything that came after the handprinted newspaper and stump to speak from is not relevent in regard to the 1st Amendment.   Jim
The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

The "shot heard 'round the world", was the first round that began the quest for an American nation, and it was fired over gun control. I fear the last one may be as well.

Sorta reminds me of we Southerners, referring to the period of 1860-1865, call "the recent unpleasantness".
Good going, Gunman! What would life be without the spice of a little friendly competition!

I too believe Gunman was just 'pulling our Leg'. I like to think of the Brits as our brethren, and we theirs. The Revolutionary War was a very long time ago and now 240 years later Britain is our very best ally. We need to and should watch each other's back in this world that is a little more than dangerous.
Socialism is almost the worst.

I wonder what would have happened instead of your revolutionary war if it had been put to a democratic vote? Initially more people were opposed to the war than for it and a lot of Americans fought for the King. Well, that's according to our version of events. Don't forget the French too. Nice that we are all friends now though. Lagopus.....
