ORWEN: Most of our people believe that they have the right to protect themselves against the Horned King's dictatorship--just like a lot of Americans believe they have the right to protect themselves against a corrupt government. ORDDU: Just goes to show that people are pretty much the same whether they live in America or Prydain...

This is how you spread the good word to gun hating London, Munick and Rome, first you show them what a fully auto weapon can do at the range then you stick a 9er in their hand. These converted euro boys will go back home and spread the good news.

Originally Posted By Ivan50 When it comes to my 9er I don't play that! Nor do my buddies down here in San Antonio.

Since we were usually limited on time when we could get away, we usually took them to the gun department at Wal-Mart (since we'd be there anyway). Even as an American, I was surprised by some of the stuff they had there. It made for great photo opportunities though

There you could buy guns, but for beer we had to go to a liquor store. Just out of interest, what age is required in the US to get a gun legally?

You are an adult, you can vote, you can smoke, you can drive, you can have a weapon, but no beer for you until 21.
