Raedwulf, personal firearms being the topic, I chose to use the example of Edwards law, to show people were encouraged to train with weapons 750 years ago. As to knowledge of history, I would point out that only dictators want to control personal weapons. England did not have a standing army, and relied on its people to own and maintain proficiency with the deadly accurate Longbow. You may roll your eyes all you want sir, but if the analogy is lost to you it shows weakness of intellect on your part not mine.
