Honestly I can't believe that the authorities in Britain, with their "mightier than thou" attitudes, can go this ape**** over a single .22 round.
I was speaking with a fellow from England about two months ago about his government. He said that he was so fed up with them because they "tax the hell out of us". My response was, "Well, maybe if you hadn't given up your gun rights, they wouldn't have been able to." His response, "Yeah... your probably right. I never thought of that before."
My advice was that he demand their right to bear arms be returned and that he can't gripe to me about his government if he's willing to let them walk all over him.
