King lives in a country that doesn't happen to have a 2nd amendment. Not many countries do. But it's a fine country . . . as is the UK, and we also have several contributors who live there. If they don't think they need a 2nd amendment . . . well, they still own guns and enjoy them. And I for one welcome their different perspective and contributions to this BB.
Old COL, you've hit the nail on the head about Keith. If everyone had to pass the "I must agree with Keith" test in order to post here, it'd be a pretty quiet place. (And far less interesting.) Maybe he ought to take a shot at starting and moderating his own doublegun BB.
