If I'm not mistaken, "Travellers" is the British PC way of saying Roma aka Gypsies.

Too bad I got a feeling we'll wind up like the Brits eventually. While I hope for the best I have the feeling I'll be last of my family who can purchase firearms without major govt interference. I'm pretty sure my grandchildren, if not my sons, will grow up in a society were gun ownership is highly regulated if not totally banned.

We're basically the last major nation to allow private gun ownership. And a good chunk of our society doesn't value, or is even hostile to, that right.

whats probably most frsutrating is that violent crimes have never gone down long term due to gun regulations.

The next generation might have to REALLY fight for freedom. It's not a bad thing, most libs are not armed.

Here in CO if every armed person shot 1 lib we would be problem free in a day.

I am not promoting violence but if a group of people takes away your rights then you are within you rights to remove their life. Freedom is something to fight for and it is something to be cherished. We should never give this up.

It says she's terminally ill.

Not gonna lie, if some punk ass pikey came around my farm and started screwing with me the way they did and I was terminally ill, I would not have been so stingy with my lead.

Honestly, I don't see the next generation really caring till it's far too late. Most don't even view gun ownership as a basic right. I'm sure the gun owners in Britain and Australia were just as opposed to their nation's outright bans as we are, yet it still happened without any armed resistance.

I totally agree with you that our freedom and our rights are something worth fighting for. But human nature is what it is. Each passing generation in this country seems to value its freedom less and less and they are unwilling to sacrifice for anything, even themselves. I hope I'm wrong but if history is a guide it will get far worse before it gets better.

You had 4 too many words at the end. So I fixed it.

These people were the same ones that initiated the issue with that farmer Tony Martin back about 12 years ago. In that case, the farmer got some.

They are comparable to the illegal mexicans and central americans here, although IMO worse as they are all squatters and many are thieves.

My God, what a fucked up place, we can't let that happen here......
