How do you even know me ?
Are you a shrink or something ?
I wouldn't pay you as a shrink.
So you think you're going to win this on the same worn out platitudes then? I see..
These are not your words. These are not your thoughts. These are the words and thoughts of the ideology that has been forced on you at a young age and you are simply parroting them for your masters.

Sorry, did you completely miss me saying we never should have gone into Afghanistan or are you ignoring it on purpose?
Forgivable.

Never should have gone into Afghanistan. Hell, the US never should have established a standing army.
Forgivable.

bravo to you, as well as nanocyte and waterbottle. i sometimes wonder the same thing when reading these boards... i'm way bored of discussing the gun issue from a uk thread that has eaten up too much time for me to get more involved in this one, but thank you for raising this

You should read it.
Also the Bill of Rights.
Also the Federalist Papers.
It might provide insight in how many Americans think.

Who says that we don't care about Afghanistan? What an empty statement. We should have pulled out of there 8 years ago. Better yet, we never should have gone in the first place. Our hands were bound from the first day our troops set boots on the ground. I have friends and relatives who have been permanently injured as a result of Afghanistan. All of them injured by IED's while patrolling the streets for safety. They never saw or engaged their attackers. They never had a chance to defend themselves.
We care about our constitutional right to bear arms! Our right to engage in recreational and competitive shooting events. Our right to hunt for sport and sustenance. And Above all our right to defend our homes and families from those who wish to do us harm and take what we have worked for.
You can't erase history and you certainly cannot change it and all that has resulted from it.
Why do people care so much about taking guns away from law abiding citizens? Why no accountability for Criminals and their actions? Why blame the gun and not the person who pulled the trigger? Why are so many gun laws already on the books ignored or under enforced on a daily basis?
The violent criminal mind will always find a way to act out their urge. If they don't do it with a gun they will use a knife, a baseball bat, a pipe bomb, a chemical bomb, a match and some gasoline etc etc etc. Disarming me will have no effect on the criminal mind. It just makes their task easier and emboldens them to act out with greater level of violence.

Flag and star!
I will say it. Hypocrisy is at it's fullest. For too long people could care less what happens to other human beings, even in many cases supporting the deception to justify it.
Even now so many who are angry about their rights being violated are saying with the same breath that they are ok with the "crazies" being disarmed but no no not them.
By allowing some to be labeled crazies and throwing them under the bus even though they have not committed any crime shows they are STILL ok with denying some people their rights without just cause as long as its not them.
Too long murder is justified by making the target non-persons, objectifying them first before wrong is done to them.
So as I see it, people are not repenting for the injustices they turned a blind eye on and therefore supported but are now mad because it might now effect them as well.
But hey, disregard everything I have said because Im crazy for my views *winks
