From the time of Alfred the Great in the 9th Century, the good kings of England made sure that every male citizen was armed with personal, military grade weaponry: weapons for offense, and personal armor for personal protection.
Wicked and tyrannical Kings like John (13th Century) fell down in their duties “to inspect every citizen twice a year” to ensure that each possessed military arms. In 1215, a group of armed citizens forced him to sign an agreement that he would resume these and other duties. Essential words and meaning of this “Magna Carta” said,
“Know that before God, for the health of our soul and those of our ancestors and heirs, to the honour of God,” you will not be a tyrant, and we who are armed will hold you to this agreement you are signing this day.
Today the citizens of the British Isles are disarmed. This happened slowly, by incremental acts of administrative law and other arbitrary rules. The bureaucratic government even forced the late Queen Elizabeth II to surrender her personal collection of family guns.
This later in May, her son will be crowned King Charles III. Will the nation hold him accountable to rebuild an armed citizenry? Or are the men of that nation now so domesticated, weak, passive and ignorant that they will continue to follow the script written by the petty-tyrants in government? What in the world will citizens mean when they chant, “God Save King Charles?”

"The problem with the evangelical elite is that there isn’t one. All too few evangelical Christians hold senior positions in the culture-shaping domains of American society. Evangelicals don’t run movie studios or serve as editors in chief of major newspapers or as presidents of elite universities. There are no evangelicals on the Supreme Court. There are hardly any leading evangelical academics or artists. There are few evangelicals at commanding heights of finance. The prominent evangelicals in Silicon Valley can be counted on one hand. There are not even many evangelicals leading influential conservative think tanks and publications, despite the fact that evangelicals are one of the largest and most critical voting blocs in the Republican coalition. Two domains are exceptions that prove the rule: politics and business."
