To wit, a "bill of rights" will read to a government as an exclusive list of the people's rights. -

US has better free speech protections than UK. But deference to the Crown and some differences in libel laws does not mean Brits are not a free people.UW_Doog_Bot said:

It's a fun exercise. 1 and 2 are sacred and the most important in the entire document. But as I have long argued in the space, having a body politic that respecks #1 above all else matters more than 2. #2 is the back up to #1.Team @PurpleBaze has all kind of guns, but they aren't free because they want to kill each other arguing over who the 12th successor to Mohamed was or some shit like that.RaceBannon said: -

Can't carry a pocket knife, can't criticize the crown, definitely don't name your dog Hitler as a joke, pay 40% of your income to the state while your elites offshore their assets.YellowSnow said:

They had guns in there. "That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law". But my Engrish ancestors didn't want any fish eaters like @Sledog to be armed and taking orders from the Pope.MikeDamone said:

Ours? of course is more explicit in its wording, of course. But guns have always been more integral to our culture as frontier nation keeping the @Swaye 's from burning our cabins and wagons. In Britain they never cared as much about their guns and we do here. -

They should have never joined in the first place. The US prevented a 3rd European war, not the common market.RaceBannon said:3 years later the people may get the exit they voted for three years ago
