Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 A few years back I met an old Irishman at a shooting range and we got to talking. He was visiting his last living relative, a nephew, and was invited to shoot the lad's Glock. I asked if he'd ever fired a Glock and he told me that he hadn't shot any gun since being mustered out of the Army at the end of WWII. I commented that I found that sad and he told me, (not an exact quote, but the meaning still remains), "Laddie, you'll never know how sad. When the Great Britain armed the Irish and Scots, and allowed them to be armed at home, the sun never set on the British Empire and Britannica ruled the waves. At the end of that war it was decided we soldiers and sailors weren't trustworthy anymore, and they disarmed the Irish and Scots..... and now Great Britain is just a tiny little inbred island in the Atlantic basking in its long ago days and amounting to less and less every year." Erin go Bragh. Here stand the Irish. Quote
