The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes

[Speaker to Animals]

When I had a big monitor in my barracks room.. no mice. The entire barracks was infested with them. But the little fuckers at most might creep under my door but they immediately would bolt back out into the hallway as soon as they caught a whiff of the monster.

Just get a lizard or something that eats mice. Snakes work too.

Then you'll need something to get rid of the snakes.

Mongoose

But then I'd have to get a leopard to get rid of the mongoose.
I might as well just get a cat in the first place.

Definitely not a waste, just need to get more.

Only rule of gun economics: No sell, only buy.

Roger, we Americans have guns in our blood.

Maybe because the crown once sought to take them all from us, I don't know. But it's a unique feature of American culture.

I think it’s more from being a frontier area, in the age of gunpowder. Taking control of the continent would have been impossible without firearms.

That's not unique to American culture, the French Spanish and Indians all had guns too. Try again.

Go back further, to the mother country, Protestants v Catholics, English Civil War, Glorious Revolution of 1688

The American second amendment is modeled on the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights 1689.

Protestants protecting themselves from Roman Catholic autocracy

That then gets imported to America on the boat. The original "enemies" in America were the Papists.

That lasts right up until JFK in 1960, Popery was "Un-American" up until then,

American culture is English culture, it's just an England of yore which ceased to be in Britain.

In England, only land owning males had the right to bear arms and it started out like that in America too.

It's not until the Civil War where America extends the franchise to all, then that goes out West post bellum.

America has militarized in stages.

The latest stage being the 1994 AWB, which is why the AR15 has become America's favorite gun.

Barely anybody used to pack M16's, until the Feds tried to ban them, now everybody is packing them.

It was also America which invented Gun Control. That comes from the West.

There was no gun control in Canada until 1885.

Canada imported it from the American West, in order to disarm the Indians here.

The UK being totally disarmed is actually quite recent, that didn't come until the wake of the First World War.

The UK rounded up all the guns under the rubric of ZOMG Bomb Throwing Socialists and Irish Fenians.

Started with Slave laws in the late 17th C. First gun control for freemen was in Louisiana to prevent free blacks from bearing arms. I think it was restricted to towns, blacks could own and use firearms in the woods for hunting.

America did not invent gun control. FFS.

Reason you say that or your post is:

Do you think General Gage marched on Lexington and Concord to rudely misgender the colonists, or maybe just perhaps implement good old fashion English gun control?

Seriously think about such a dumbass remark. Gun control in Europe came out of arms control in general. Not only could the peasant or yeoman not carry a sword, they could not even carry arrowheads that could potentially penetrate plate armor. As soon as guns were a thing, they made it legal to control guns. The English Bill of Rights from the 1600s made it quite legal to control arms of all kinds.

Am I on crazy pills here or the only forum member left who actually reads books??
