Me too! I forgot where I put all those weapons and ammunition. Getting older is tough.

those blue beanies sure as heck make good targets when worn by the UN.
Guns aren't much of a defense against nuclear weapons.

so the un is going to nuke us? How and who will us be? The un is a body of countries, not it's own country and just because they're located in NYC doesn't mean they have access to our nukes.
nevermind, I know I can't fix this Ron White moment

Really? You figured that out all on your own????

Seriously - of course you are correct. BUT, they are a defense against intruders that break into my home. I have actual, real life experience with this - and I shot and killed the intruder.

So, a gun is a defensive tool.

The U.S. isn't the only place to get them. And just because we sit on the Security Council doesn't mean we cannot be held accountable for our interference in the affairs of other countries.

Ever actually talk to a person from there? What you read and reality are often completely different things. It's like those who read that the healthcare system in the UK or Canada is superior. Try talking to someone that actually gets to "enjoy" these things you read about and I bet you'll learn a few things.

do you actually know anything about guns? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess no. I'm also going to take a wild guess and say you don't think I should own my AK-47 and the 16 round magazines in my XDm hold too much ammo.
It is true that I think assault weapons should be banned for the general population. Sport and personal protection do not require them, so what are they for then? A political uprising? A personal grudge? So far at least, in the U.S.A. ellections still rule where politics are concerned.

I do not, for one moment believe that weapons that are used for either sport or personal protection have been contemplated as being banned in the U.S. Other types of weapons should be banned!

Of course other countries have them, but they have that key word in them, countries.. they're not an organization

well, luckily you don't make the laws and I have my AK because I always wanted one, so I bought it. It is also an excellent defense weapon. Don't believe me? Charge at me and see what you do when I point it at you...

And the fact that you "have always wanted an AK" means what? That you are scared of the world around you and need to have a bigger gun to confront it with? That you need to scare people? You point it at me & I will dare you to use it! You use it and you go to jail. Period!
