I might have found some humor (or humour for you pissants) in this but then I read this:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So what I really found laughable was that so many people out there in Insignificantland really want to ****-off the nearly 60,000,000 people who not only own firearms and plenty of ammunition but also voted for the guy who wants them to have more. I'm sure a bit more button pushing should have them swimming over to finish the job their ancestors were unwilling to do.
Oh, and brush your teeth after a shower you ripe bastards.

Once again, the NS Forum community out-does itself in a heaving morass of attempting to 'BE SMART0R' than their fellows by over analysing everything.
It's a joke. It was written in the topic title, and the thread itself. Relax, go outside, look at the sky or something. Hug a tree, I don't know.
The real comedy? The fact those 60,000,000 odd people with guns would consider such an action. As a species? Grow up, for the love of whatever you find Holy.

Except where you insulted our Freedom Fires. THAT WAS CROSSING THE LINE, DAMMIT!
