Mr. Mephisto:
I wonder what Padraic Pearse, Mick Collins, and James Connolly would have to say about the current state ot Irish gun laws? Considering that their response to English laws of a much less restrictive nature was to purchase 20,000 rifles, 500 machineguns, and 10 75-mm howitzers from Germany in 1916 ( in one shipment alone; the one that went to the bottom with the Aud and got Roger Casement arrested ), I think I can guess.
