Mr. Dow,

Perhaps you enjoy living under the laws of the British monarchy.

We did not, so we do not. When the British crown sent soldiers to take our guns, our forefathers fought. They kept their guns and sent the British packing.

The rest of the world has benefited in some small measure from our American freedom. We like it the way we are, and like our forefathers, we will fight anyone who comes to take either our guns or our freedom.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you happiness living as a subject of the British crown (more German than Scottish).
