I envy your way of life, being free to enjoy the pleasures of shooting and general firearms activities, here in england it is very much a pastime for the very rich and priviliged, and as for self - defence, well we got no chance !!! The thing is i am a proud english patriot, and one who believes strongly in freedom and common sense and the rule of law ( which offers protection and rights for law abiding citizens ) Many of the laws applied in the US are based on old english laws which have now been forgotten and/or changed to suit our mostly liberal and elite politicians and the like. I hope the picnic went well and your protests were heard ! I do feel that i'm a lone voice in the battle for individual rights and freedoms over here in england, but there are many out here who do support what you stand for, despite what some people may think of the general english population. Keep up the good work. LIVE FREE :-)
