Well, your country is based upon love of monarch; mine is based upon love of liberty, so our separate attitudes toward guns could actually make us both patriots and our opponents ranging from lesser patriots to traitors.
No, I would not agree that my country is based on the love of a monarch. We have a love for our history and a love of our culture which, of course, includes at least as much freedom and threats against it as does yours, probably much more so. Our royal family assumes the same position in many people's minds as your statue of liberty. It is a symbol of who you are but only a symbol - not a reason. A more important 'symbol' in my opinion, is the map. The map shows a very small country which is completely belied by its power and inlfuence. I like that. I like our unique contribution to the arts and science, our diversity and that generally (present governing party excepted) we are much smarter than most other inhabitants of this planet! (tic)
