Guns kill people.
People disarmed are victims.
1,2,3,4 etc bill of rights.. protect you against governments with GUNS.

when you have the 1st and 2nd you can back up the responses to the 1st.
If you only have the first you have nothing to stop those who IGNORE you.

America is young, give it time for tyranny and big brother to continue and see how long the bill of rights holds your freedom when your disarmed.

True, and I've mentioned this little tidbit many times on these threads. But radical leftists are naive to think that a government that would make such a power grab to do away with the 2nd would let them keep their 1st Amendment rights. Then again, the so-called "party of tolerance" only cares about the free speech that it approves of anyway.

How would having guns have helped those who lost their lives in the WTC during the 9/11 attacks?

what are the odds of dying in traffic?.....many people drive under the influence of some kind of drug or texting their cell phones.......where is the federal government to protect us from that? LMAO!
Why do you deflect so much away from our terrorism problem from within our country by our own citizens with guns?

and yet the US is able to project all kinds of miltary power around the world despite the oceans. go figure.
That is because the US has the largest navy. We control the oceans with our navy. Guns owned by citizens have nothing to do with the US being protected from attacks by other countries.

A battle that saw the raging Chicoms in vastly superior numbers brought to a standstill by WWII battle hardened experienced leaders of Commonwealth troops, with hand to hand combat in some cases.

America did not occupy the whole of the country bringing peace and prosperity in fact, an action where arguably the worst threat from a rogue leader with nukes is still existant and a reality to this very day.

Germany? Did that all by yourselves did ya? Russia might be just one of all the others who contributed who'd disagree and they shouldered the majority of the burden. Germany ended up partitioned with Russia contolling half of it...hardly an example of bringing peace and prosperity to a country conquered and occupied.

Japan....WTF?...you used two nukes that no one else was in possession of at the time.....gonna try that act again any time soon are you?


I had no opportunity, thankfully, to attend the Hollywood School of American History


you mean to tell me life was better behind the Iron Curtain under Soviet rule? amazing!!!!

I'm sure life in North Korea is as good or better than life in South Korea, we had NOTHING to do with that!


Yes, we use 2 nukes to end a war the Empire of Japan started and set up a democratic constitution in Japan and help them set up a very nice economy....I'm sure life in Japan would have been great if Stalin and China got their way and invaded Japan like they wanted to and the only force in the way was the U.S.


but i'm sure you were taught a different history at the BLAME AMERICA For Everything Academy and at Our Troops are GOOD for Nothing Community College.....lol
