Not in the minds of the Scots.
The enmity exists even today -- witness the Brexit vote. This helps explain why Scotland was burdened with more restrictive rules.
Dig just a little deeper into English history -- The exercise will help anyone who is not addicted to using specious logic and out of context quotes to further the troll and bait routine.
Remember we are trying to come to a common view that can help people explain facts and history behind the Second Amendment and why it is more important to liberty today than ever.
We have had some excellent posts and links on the second Amendment.
Stupid ad-nauseum arguments only harm the discussion at hand. Make the points and allow polite answers but DO NOT continue to argue points, counter points, counter-counter-points etc. Try to avoid succumbing to one whose apparently single goal is to get attention by baiting and insisting on the last word in the discussion. Yes, the "last word" may hold some weight, but the discussion leading to it is more telling.
