The Welsh government is a bit odd, Mrs Bobo does a bit of soliciting there and believe me there is one law for most of the population and another for those in the Taffia

adriancI had the temerity to mention gun control to one of my "liberal" American Friends. He said If the Government tried it "there would be a revolution, which would be short and swift with the Gun carriers, the Army and Police, descending on the capitol and getting the decision reversed by force of arms"

The leaders debate was a farce, the impartial moderator even wore a red jacket. But "up by ere" they are so indoctrinated you could paint a pig red and call it a labour candidate and it would win. Here in BG not only do we pay the most council tax in the UK, it's also the highest percentage of income the average band A ( band A being the average here ) represents 5% of the average income or 4% for a person living alone, of course it's quite a lot more for the average pensioner.

It is scary to think the right wing 'patriot' part of the population out gun the police and army (at least they say so) and have been buying up guns and ammo like fun since Biden got elected.

That's quite some piece of writing. The quote from A Man for All Seasons was... perfect.

The suggestion that they have more guns and ammo than the military is ludicrous.

The suggestion that they have more guns and ammo than the military is ludicrous. Definitely an exaggeration particularly if you include large weapons like tanks and missile launchers, etc. But civilians do have a lot of weapons, from what I can find (from a quick google) the estimates are about 393 million civilian owned weapons and about 40% of households have guns of some sort, not that all gun owners are anti-Democrat or anti-Biden, but a lot of the vocal ones are.
