And you're certain of that how, Deadbeater? Hey, Parliament and Queen could call on the SAS and SBS and Royal Marines...

I'll answer Rich's provocative question with another: could any of them have voted to be liberated from Saddam, do you suppose?

DanaC, that you're incredulous shows just how different our two respective paradigms of the proper sphere of a government are. Your people would be in a much more stable position for retaining British-style limited government -- a going concern since the Magna Carta -- without your draconian gun laws. They have the effect of removing the popular restraint upon the governmental sphere, the sort of thing we Americans sum up in the phrase "checks and balances."
