The only free men are those who have no need to arm themselves against their own Govt and citizens.
We are British (English, Scots, Welsh, Irish mayve). It's that simple. By using terms like afro-american or irish-american you actually highlight your differences. Why should we segregate ourselves?
So if you are so well protected how did Timothy McVeigh slip through? Worse that anything the IRA have done here.
I actually support the goal of a united ireland. But not through the bullet, use the ballot box. The IRA is more about drug smuggling and mafia style activities now than politics
The british 'army of occupation' was actually sent into the north to defend the catholics from the protestants in 1969. But then you would know that - being an expert on irish politics.
Ever heard of the Aryan Nation? KKK? Aren't these US organisations. Ever heard of lynching? Although we too have racist morons, lynching is not something we've really suffered from here.
First off, I could be armed to the teeth with AK's, M-16's, LAW 88's, Dragons, Claymores all the time, but that's still not going to stop me being killed by the nail bomb planted by the IRA. Mr McVeigh showed that random acts of terrorism won't be stopped by an armed population. The IRA does not involve itself in stand-up firefights because they know they'd lose, instead they leave explosives devices around the country. How do you protect yourself against a nail bomb?? Shoot it??
There were a few race riots going on (riot is a bit of an exaggeration though) due to ever present racial tension. Is your suggestion that we arm all the people taking part?? Why?? So they can kill innocent bystanders too??
