    For the most part, it was reported, the guns were mostly turned in, I suppose there were "lost guns" that were not turned in, I saw such an example, it was a former Colt of some type, Parkerized, barrel sawed off, pounded almost flat, a S&W originally .455 ?
    For British Service.
    Very very sad......

    Without the equipment and resources, Britain would have fallen and the US never would have sent over the men. We could refer to US protection too of the Atlantic convoys. Not sure pistols helped much there mind you

    After Dunkirk, the UK was scrambling and panicked. Tons of ammunition and guns left on the beach. Britain was teetering on the brink, and begged the U.S. for help.

    The American people took every spare firearm they had and sent them over to help arm the Home Guard. I had an uncle who lived in Scotland, and he said those guns were a source of relief and soaring morale. As he put it, those guns "helped stiffen our resolve" and they helped the British people feel like they had a fighting chance in case "Jerry" tried to invade.

    Sometimes improving morale and giving people hope can be as powerful a weapon of war as tanks.

    What a load of guff! Dunkirk was used to give hope. That was then accentuated by the Battle of Britain and El Alamein.

    Now we should never underestimate America's role in the war. However, exaggerating firearm provision is cretinous. Not one of my family mentioned it as it wasn't on their radar. Admittedly one of them was a little biased as his mates were accidentally killed by the USAF

    Well, I have plenty of family who were in Britain during the war and they have a very different take on it than you do. Frankly, they'd say you're the one who doesn't have his facts straight; but oh well.

    Sure you do! Isn't that terribly convenient? Perhaps you'd like to refer to documented evidence into this perceived impact?

    Perhaps you'd like to perform anatomical impossibilities on yourself?

    "Terribly convenient" my backside. Hell, I could cite chapter and verse every relative I had who was in the UK during the war and you wouldn't accept it, and privacy issues beside, you're not worth the effort.

    I'm sure you can! I do so believe your Uncle Buck wrote a book "All you need for happiness is a gun from Tennessee, a warm pint of beer, and a wife with good teeth". Very high powered too...

    You can insult my heritage with empty rhetoric all you want. You show yourself to be a shill whose presentation is full of fried bovine excrement and devoid of integrity.

    Insult? I treasure Uncle Buck and his glossy eye as he received a handgun, not knowing that his relative would celebrate him so on a political forum. God bless you!

    Amazing how Americans get all cosy with imperalism. Shouldn't have bothered with the revolution!

    Immigrants commit less crime than native born americans.

    None of which changes the fact that they are committing crimes with their very presence in the united states, and such is sufficient grounds for them to be deported. It is no different than in any other country that possesses immigration policies and laws.

    No, your statement, not your simplistic retort, Sir Winston Churchill rallied and encouraged the people in spite of overwhelming odds and daily bombardment by German bombers.

    Even that is myth. Take his most memorable speech. What you hear is a recording, from his bed no less, that he did much later.

    There's a reason they voted him out straight after the war! However, it amuses me that you'd treasure a great imperialist so much. Wonder what your handgun would do against one of his field guns (which he did have on the brit streets as he used authoritarianism to break strikers)?

    But if we deport all the illegal immigrants who will the Trump supporters blame their problems on; what will the Clinton supporters use as their cause?

    Same as any other in the battlefield, remove the operators of crew served weapons.

    Always love a keyboard warrioring routine! Aren't you all about individual rights? Here's a rights orientated response: "Hang on me ole China, surely a leader shouldn't use field guns against his own people?"
