You are truely blessed to live in America (BTW many of "The founding fathers" where sensible Welsh men). When I had a Firearms certificate, the only "cheap " way to shoot non-military calibre weapons was to home load. 50 rounds of Winchester 357magnum cartridges cost abot £15 ($25). I could make 50 good quality linotype rounds for £5($8-9) aprox. One good thing about our amateur firearms laws is they do not worry about military calibres or magazine capacities. I had two 50 round bannana magazines that clipped together!!! They weren't even licenced. Didn't need to be.
Please US citizens, hold onto your guns, use them positively, and help us in less free countries get our rights back.
Thanks Marcus
and, dare I say it "God bless America"
Thank you for the kind words.
My family is from the West Marches of the Scottish borders and I would like to have a summer home there in a few years.
But I often say to myself "never mind" because I dont want to reside, even temporarily in a country that wouldn't allow me to defend myself if the need presented itself.
As far as you living in Swansea, Wales. I watch the UK TV show called "Cops with Camera's" and they often film in your town.
I hope one day soon Wales and Scotland declare independence from England and allow its citizens the right to own ALL types of firearms.
The biggest hurdle for you folks though is properly educating the citizens.
So many UK residents that I speak with are extremely fearful of citizens owning guns.
Due to the last 30-40 years of anti gun propaganda by the BBC and other British press, most of the UK citizens are completely brain washed.
I get sick and tired of British telling me "You yanks have guns and there are shooting everywhere!" which is NOT true at all. Most shootings that happen here are usually in teh crime ridden ghettos.
Most of the shooting here in America are drug war related.
But because of the brainwashing, the Brits think the USA is still like the wild west. Which ofcourse makes them not want the right to own firearms.
Like I told one other Brit here on the forum. You are more than welcome to immigrate to the USA and enjoy a life of freedom, gun rights and a much more affordable cost of living.
Plus, we have more "fit birds" over here in America that Im sure you would like to get to know...... hehehe
Most American girls think a British accent is extremely attractive.
