i guess your right. i was not born with a gun in my hand so maybe i dont know why its not such a bad thing to disarm. or maybe its just that the fear
factor you have also been born with blinds you from what seems perfectly clear to the rest of the world. i'm also guessing that the daily murders
which occur in the states are mostly by knives, hatchets???
well good luck with whomever wins your election guys because they have a tough crowd
What does it matter WHAT is used to commit a murder? The point is murders still happen. I am guessing that you are from the UK or Australia? How
are those gun bans working out for England? Not very good, now everyone is just killed with knives and swords, and now it is a crime just to be
carrying a steak knife home from the store. And on top of that, more and more people are being killed by guns in robberies, because the robbers know
that 99.9% of the time, their victim has no way to fight back.
I read about packs of youths stabbing people to death over there. It sure as hell sounds a lot more barbaric and animal like than the United
States.
And its not just average joes getting in gunfights and murders all the time. A good portion of our crime is due to one thing, drugs, and the
attempted control of them. The "war on drugs" does far more harm to this country than the drugs themselves ever could.
Anyway, for those of you complaining about the US culture, no one asked you to comment on it, I personally could not care less. Just because you
enjoy living in a society where the government says jump and you say how high doesn't mean I have any desire to.
I know that another argument is that people say "whats the point, you can't defeat the government, they have way better weapons". Tell that to the
Afghans in the 80's and today, also tell that to all the insurgents in Iraq, tell that to the Somali's tell that to the north vietnamese. The point
is, big war machines tend to grind to a hault when met with a resistance force, especially when it is a non tradition "gorilla" fighting force. Oh
yeah, and also tell it to the members of the Revolutionary War who refused to stand in a line to fight, and sent the stupid red coats back to where
they came from.
