They do have some odd things in the 'ole US of A. For instance, there's some sort of armed gang holed up in some remote government buildings in Oregon who are demanding that the central government stop infringing something or other. I have no idea what, but I'm sure they think it's worth spending a cold winter trying to get their way, although I doubt they will succeed. The media call them 'militia', but I thought militia were a sort of civilian army of some sort, when these people seem to be a few disgruntled locals (although I don't think they are actually locals).
The big difference between an unhappy crowd in the UK and an unhappy crowd in the US is that the US folk will have a few guns to make them look like militia. One more reason to try and restrict gun sales, although that's a tall order on that side of the Atlantic.
