Newtown School Shootings

[Greyblades]

Ah, if only.

Good gun of course. Armed populace is a far better safeguard against tyranny than some aristocratic figurehead. And it's useful for hunting and home protection.

Admittedly in those situations a rifle is the better option, (except for Henry VIII, guy was badass, an avid hunter in his youth, an ideal king before he turned sour and he had a mace with a gun installed in the head. Gaving him in the house when a robber turns up would be 100 times more useful than a 12 gague), though personally some form of legal safeguard, a burglar alarm system and a crossbow are preferable to a gun respectively. When thinking about the big picture, government, diplomacy, society, economics, etc a good, (just, noble, etc) king is infinitely preferable to an armed populous.

And I haven't been talking about that. I've been talking specifically about contemporary British monarchy.

Well you kinda have to think about the aspects of king hood when talking about a monarchy.
