$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('UncoveringTruths', 'T')he right to bear arms has made more than one country think before it fucked with us.

Maybe Hitler would've thought twice if England had a weapon behind every blade of grass.

There are pros and cons in the right to bear arms however.

Yes, it's legal, and all of the required paperwork required by the BATF is in good and proper order.

You guys can go ahead and join the "peaceful, patience" masses at the Gubment Cheese Handout points.

Spec will keep his guns, shoot anyone who tries to murder or rape his wife, children or him and eat the food and drink the water he has stored away for himself.

Good luck to those depending on the government. ANY government,

Amazin'!
Fucked up America.
You think that owning a gun is a necessity.
HELLO!
Using NO as the example for PO, look what'll happen when TSHTF.
Gun law- and all that goes with it..
Every dick shooting every other dick.
Paranoia and a road to hell.
The gun law of the US will come to haunt you all.

The world watched 911 unfold and we were told how calm and cool Americans were etc etc and we were all humbled- seriously but the proof is in New Orleans. We are all disgusted.
Mind you, in New York there wasn't a meal missed

You think and say that having a gun will defend you from the armed gangs that will be around. You'll just shoot each other to hell.

The rest of the world refers to yanks as Trigger happy as proved by every war they've been in.
More Brits have been killed in Iraq by yanks than by Iraqis!

Anyway, the USA's problems are self inflicted - you can se it now on TV live not just because of the gun, but because of the gun AND the American mind as shown on this very thread.

Canadians have pretty much the same access to guns as Americans yet the figure for gun crimes in both countries is?

Watch Michael Moore's, 'Bowling for Columbine' as pretty conclusive proof.

I understand that you're never going to get it and I understand that it's not really your individual faults, it's the culture you live in and for that I feel sorry.

Charlton Heston is a turd.

Don't get me wrong. If the UK had guns we'd be as bad, but we haven't.

Touche!

The same people who think the US government is one of the worst on earth often argue that the US population should be unarmed. That never fails to astound me. Provision was made for an armed population (among other reasons) as a last defense against government tyrrany.

The recent emminent domain decision is sufficient reason to arm as far as I'm concerned.

Availability of guns to criminals is only a problem because we are much too easy on criminals.

Whether one realizes it or not, the belief that guns will save you post peak is the same level of faith that a 'technofix' will advert a peak in the first place. "That said, all options are on the table."

[k_semler]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dukey', 'n')o one here (the UK) has guns, except for maybe a few people who like to actually go out shooting (ducks rabbits whatever). That's it.

it fucking amazes me when you see americans having M16s ak47's for 'home defence'. Defence against what ? An invading army ? Are you that scared of your neighbours you need enough ammo to take out the whole village ? And as for your comment jack. When has there EVER been an angry mob outside your house ? And if there was an angry mob would you be prepared to open fire on this angry mob ? And what if this angry mob were also equally or better armed ?

I love that comment by someone on this site. Everyone having guns is the same as no one having guns, only worse.

The point is are armed citizens any match for a modern army? Wouldn't it just make the invaders or the tyrannical government. come down much harder amongst the civilian population in its efforts to disarm them?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('venky', 'B')esides look at the ratio in Iraq in the guerilla war., 100000:2000, 50 Iraqi's for every American, ofcourse not that US casualties are insignificant. Maybe the insurgents or militia can inflict substantial losses on the invading or tyrranical force, but they cant defeat it, only hope to outlast it. And the damage on the civilian population will be devastating.
