British Pistol Team Trains Abroad
May 2, 2008 | Tagged British gun laws, gun control, olympic shooting, Second Amendment |
Every time I hear a shooter say, “I don’t know why anyone needs an “assault weapon,” I think about the British Olympic Pistol Team. Because of their country’s restrictive gun laws, they are not allowed to train on their home island. Apparently they may train in Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and Switzerland. This situation will become more interesting, when the Brits host the London 2012 Olympic Games. The police may bring target pistols to the match locations in armored cars.
What does the British Pistol Team have to do with “assault weapons?” The English, Scots, and Irish lost their natural right to self defense from crime and tyranny one gun type at a time. The shotgunners failed to support the rifle shooters. The rifle folk did not support the pistol shooters. In the end, British gun ownership is all but dead, and the Olympic Pistol Team is not allowed to practice on their own soil.
Search on: “Power Report,” “Commonwealth shooting team,” and “petition” for information.
Search on: “BBC Sport,” and “Shooters seek handgun law change” for more information.
Search on “Countryside Alliance” and “73% oppose Olympic shooting ban” for yet more information. (Still can’t get hot links up.)
The British are subjects of the Crown. We are “free” citizens of America: however, if we do not view an attack upon any gun owner’s rights as an attack upon the rights of all gun owners, we will find ourselves to be subjects, not citizens.
Always remember that “sophisticated” Europe, which spawned two World Wars and the Holocaust, is the gold standard for American gun control fanatics. If you don’t believe that, read their books and their blogs. When they say they don’t want to take your gun, what they mean is that they don’t want to take your gun yet. Remember the British Pistol Team.
