Don't try to teach a pig to sing. Its a waste of your time and it annoys the pig.
Seriously.
The Brits have been down this road before, they keep heading back down it after the conflict is over and they're too civilized to grasp our neanderthal thinking.
They were willing to defend their island from German invasion with pitchforks, halberds and old men, so don't think they're weak or wrong... far from it.
They're just too sensible to come around to our brainwashed way of thinking.
Placed within our historical context, we believe what our forefathers fought and died for... every man, woman and child has the right (the obligation) to be an armed member of an unorganized militia, a manumit from being a serf of the royalty. Then look at it from their point of view... the Kings men control the forest and sea and all the realm; can do no wrong and they know their place is to do as they're told by their betters. It works for them unless some troublemaker(s) threatens, really threatens, their day to day living comforts. Then we stand ready to assist as required, as they assist us in times of need.
I hope and pray that the day never comes when they (and we) realize its too late to do anything about it.
Look at our own public schooling and the sheep here. We have enough battles to fight on our own ground within our own ranks to keep what few rights our all-knowing Uncle's men and women allow us. We know that prohibition doesn't work, but still our gov't persists as does the associated black market that goes hand in glove.
Better to try and understand their position and history in order to learn and weigh/measure our own position.
It's also better to go out and do some shooting than waste time converting someone who has no desire to see this side's P.O.V. You do practice your unorganized milita skills to be well regulated... right?
Learn from the Swiss school of thought, lament others if you so choose. But please (oink) don't annoy them.
But I could be wrong.
Adios
