Not surprised the Irish lawmakers have decided to join the English and the Australians in the deep end of the turd pool.

The similarities of these nations and their being drug down to tyranny in about the same way, is quite striking.

Not that I have any intention of visiting Ireleand in the near future, but I sure as hell am not going there now. If people would let their tourism department know that they will not visit a repressive country that will not allow law abiding citizens to even own handguns, maybe some of these countries would think twice. I don't know if it would work but I will see if I can find an email address to send them a note. JMHO.

I guess they want to fit in with the rest of the NWO countries.

I would expect foul play at the polls before I would think the people wanted this.
Remember they recently rejected the Lisbon Treaty. I'd bet they have the same problem we have: scum bags in office pulling all the levers, bringing in tyranny, while the people scream "no more."
