Some Simple FACTS About Disarming Americans

[CrotchetyGeezer]

Most of our wars have been fought in the interests of the wealthy, so yeah, in most cases, they did die in vain.

Lets see, in US history we have the REvolutionary War, the War of 1812 (the Brits were snatching American sailors and forcing them into indentured servitude in His Majesties royal navy), the Mexican American War (fought due to the Mexican government sending an army into South Texas across the Rio Grande), The War of Northern Aggression (aka the civil war), the First World War (started by inane Europeans, but they dragged us into it by attacking our shipping) the second world War (Japs attacked us first and Hitler declared war on us first), and nothing since that but a bunch of police actions done with the blessings of the world community of nations in some fashion or other.

Well, you were right about the WoNA, but you are full of shyte on the rest, numnuts.

Well, actually, the Civil War was the only one I'd count as a good war, the only mistake is we didn't line up Davis, Lee, and every other slave-raping traitor and hang the shit out of them.

Put let's look at the list.

Revolutionary War- Rich Slave-rapist didn't want to pay their taxes. Got stupid poor people to fight a war for them.

War of 1812- We tried to snatch Canada while England was busy saving the world from Napoleon.

Mexican war- We beat up and stole land from a smaller weaker nation.

Civil War- fought to put an end to slavery.

Spanish-American War- We beat up on a smaller weaker nation.

Philippine War- Tried to impose ourselves on the Filipinos, who weren't too keen on the idea.

World War 1- After we let the Europeans borrow up to their eyeballs, we had tohelp them win the war so the Banksters wouldn't lose their money.

WWII - We were attacked- so that was justified.

Korea- I would almost consider that justified.

Vietnam- Sorry, the Vietnamese wanted communism. We had no business being there.

Gulf War - Yeah, we need to save the Emir and his right to marry a new virgin every week!

Afghanistan- Justified in getting Bin Laden, if we did that. Trying to prop up Karzai, not so much.

Iraq- "Saddam tried to kill my pappy! We're gonna hang him Texas Style"

None of those wars were our "freedoms" at stake. Someone convincedthe gullible that this was the case, but usually, thereare rich folks getting poor people to die.

Now, if we had a mandetory draft for the children of the wealthy and put them in an elite unit that would be the first deployed to any war zone, you'd be amazed how fast we avoided wars.

Peace in our time, baby![/QUOTE]

You're such an idiot it's beyond imaginable. Did you receive your history education through a Cracker Jack box...or something?

So...if anyone tried to take your guns away, the people would rise up and shoot and kill anyone who tried to take away their weapons?

Why is a gun more important than a human life?

I am not really sure what the point is here, Noomi, but no one is seriously trying or thinking about taking away people having guns. That is simply one side using fear to do what it normally does to prevent any rational debate taking place on limiting the access to firearms.

Oh BS! There's plenty of folks who are trying to do exactly that.

Most rational people in this country, many who have guns, like myself, do not want to have military style rifles capable of firing 30 or more rounds on the streets of our nation without a special license. We also do not want handguns that can fire more than 10 rounds with one clip. We also do not want people who are mentally ill, criminals, or others who have proven dangers to our communities to have them either, but one side does not want to hear any of it, and the other is just as intransigent.

Most "rational people"? First, have you been appointed the spokesperson for most alleged "rational people"? And, have you been appointed the spokesperson for gun owners in order to qualify your pretense you know what it is and what it isn't "most" gun owners want? When you say things like, "We also do not want handguns that can fire more than 10 rounds with one clip"...who's "We"? You got a turd in your pocket? Got your statistics handy which shows what it is "most" gun owners want?

As a result, we continue to have, and will have more of, the violence we still see.

The majority of people don't have any gripe with shotguns, rifles, and pistols in the home. But, they do, more and more, want some sensible solutions being worked out without the fringe elements on both sides spoiling reasonable change toward a safer society.[/QUOTE]

BS! What a "majority" of the anti-gun folks don't have any gripe with is 1700's "muskets". At least, that is, until someone is killed with a 1700's musket.
