A video that hopefully captures the state of current rights in the UK.

Please watch, comment and pass around.

As of 2010 the march towards outright gun-control is at it's final steps, only with enough voices who won't be content to sit in their ivory towers will the powers-that-be take notice...
Out of over a hundred-thousand FAC holders and a million or so SGC (shotgun certificate) owners less than a thousand wrote in to protest and give vocal dissent against the current tightening of gun rights. Make a move now, before it's too late.

Def: apathy (adj) - that condition of utter resignation required before a citizen can be subjected beneath the freedom-robbing rule of another.

I believe the only reason Great Britain withstood WWII is that Sir Winston Churchill stood firmly against both the apathy within the ranks as well as the onslaught from across the Channel. And why shouldn't, he? Just look at him! Even as a child he had what it took to lead a nation.

Yeah, we Americans are often cocky and arrogant. So what? That's what it takes to stand firm against having our rights stripped away.

With less than 1% of you willing to do the same, the other 99%, steel yourselves. Take a long, hard look at Churchill's picture. Feel his resolve. Know in your hearts that disarmament isn't civilized! It's a lie from the devil himself, so he can enslave an entire nation at the foot of the same facism against which your grandfathers so gallantly found during WWII.

Knuckle up, Englanders, Irishmen, Welshmen, and Scottsmen! You're not dead yet, so stop acting like you are!

Speak up. Raise your voices in protest against the oppression of your rights!

Same goes for my friends down under, as you're in the same boat.

I come from a land downunder.
What a man.

Winston Churchill grew up to be a real man. He was no anti gun crusader either. Here is a genuine Whinston Churchill quote, and a picture I have of him carrying one of his own.

"Every dog has his day, and I have kept these [very heavy guns] for a quarter of a century in the hope that they would have their chance". What a way to give "life" to these cannons by comparing them figuratively with a "dog"!

UK's gun owners and the citizenry don't need another Churchill.

They need an NRA such as the one we enjoy in the U.S.

Without a powerful advocacy voice acting in their behalf, Brits can expect to continue to lose rights rather than gain/recover them.

My sense is that it's too late, though. The western European culture has become too anti-gun to change.

Thank God for the NRA (and GOA, etc.) in the United States.

But Europe isn't anti-gun they will sell them to any country with the money or the oil to pay for them. They just don't like private citizens being independent and self sufficient. It goes against the grain of their kind and humane socialist campaign. Feel good platitudes, (ie. it's for your own good), always trumps substance and reality in politico-speak. New York or Birmingham, Washington DC or Paris it makes no difference. The largest majority of high office holders all wear the same coat.
