Agreed, it's called the military industrial complex. Granted I'm preaching to the choir.

Only if Al is a progressive.

I love your enthusiasm.

Too bad it's so misplaced.

well since that was a liberal DEMOCRAT president that ordered that, then perhaps you need to take it up with the liberals, not me. i never said our government would never do anything wrong, so i have no clue where you came up with that idea.

once again you are assuming that i am telling people what to do or how to do it, and that is not the case. i am merely pointing out that there are enough people with guns in this country that if necessary they could overwhelm the military. you are the one assuming something i never suggested.

Maybe it's me? But I'm having a lot of trouble understanding anything you've written about. None of it makes any sense at least to me anyway.

Have ANY of you gun rights supporters taken the 15 seconds it takes to review the findings that the original poster linked to?

You can't keep arguing some of your insane arguments if you take a look at the FACTS. Fewer guns leads to fewer deaths. The fewer the guns, the safer things are for most people. Stricter gun control laws lead to fewer needless deaths. It's really not that hard.

The fact that you and others believe its totally impossible for a government to use its strongest weapons against its own citizens completely invalidates the entire militia argument you've all been bandying about for years. And yet you don't see it. Amazing.
I've never said it was impossible, but for reasons I've tried to explain to you it's highly improbable as the government would lose short of wiping out the entire country with nuclear weapons. You might want to read it again. Amazing you don't see it.

As for me, no your posts don't bother me. You have every right to express your opinions, just as everyone else does. People can decide for themselves whether to read them or mine for that matter.

You see, I believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, all of it. It's not up to anyone to pick and choose which amendments to adhere to and which ones to ignore.

here is a fact for you, guns sales have gone way u in this country, while gun violence has gone DOWN over the same period.

here is something else for you to consider;

I don't need two Telecasters, or a Rickenbacker. No need to divulge my weapon inventory. I want them, and it's solely my choice. The Constitution is a wonderful thing.
