    Can't keep any of the others without it.

    The UK does. How does that work?
    Does what?
    They have a BOR. It’s 100 years older than ours.

    Alas, we took their model and improved it.
    So added the 2A.
    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.

    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.

    3 years later the people may get the exit they voted for three years ago

    They should have never joined in the first place. The US prevented a 3rd European war, not the common market.

    Do they? Try publishing something about the crown and pedophilia in the UK and get back to us.
    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.
    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.

    "Free people" is a relative term.
    Britain is not a tyranny.

    They were in North America - until people with guns beat their ass. Twice.
    Is is different word from was. You know this right?

    No they don't. Still subjects after all these years.
    You know what "Constitutional" Monarchy means, right?
    Hate speech laws are really special. Especially very ambiguous ones. Political weapon. Silence or jail.
