      Just posting to bring the sentiment in this thread to the fore again as a gesture that it was not a "popular" topic to be relegated to somewhere less than the first page of this forum.

            the u.s. has more weapons than any other empire has ever accumlated.. (way way more).. they've also killed more people than any other empire ever has (this is a guess.. but i'm thinking there's a shitload of blood on us.. even when compared to the 'violent' regimes)..

            i'm pretty sure the u.s. gun problem can be solved using a 3rd grader's math equation with a slight twist of logic in the mix..

                    Just part of an email that ended up in my inbox.
                    A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

                    In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

                    In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

                    Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

                    China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated

                    Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


                    Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

                    Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

                    Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

                    Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

                    Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

                    The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

                    With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

                    During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

                      Cory,

                      Who said anything about taking guns away?

                      Are you saying that you need guns to defend yourself from your own government? if yes then why do you always vote for politicians that want to increase military spending? is that not contradictory to what you are hoarding guns to defend yourself against?

                      And if you say you are stock piling guns to protect yourself from foreign invasion then you have no need as the US military is adequately funded and stocked.

                      πŸ˜’

                        I believe This is the start of them trying to confiscate guns. I do believe that Feinstein woman is the only one who has came right out and said anything about confiscation.
                        I hope and would like to think our own military would have no part of it since they take that oath about protecting their country from all enemies both foreign and domestic.
                        And I did not say any of that it was just part of an email that ended up in my inbox.
                        I do not hoard or stock pile guns either. I bought my first long gun a shotgun at the ripe old age of 12 years old with my own hard earned cash, and every rifle/pistol/shotgun since has just taken up another slot in a safe. How about we call it a collection.:]

                            Hey Steve, cool you jets there cheif!! You read that first sentence of the post that says "this is part of an email that made it to my inbox"? All I know for sure about the Japanese is that after the start of it all my grandfather ended up in POW camp for many many months.

                              This information is pretty much accurate. However, it is misleading. The UK doesn't have guns and they only had 1.2 murders per 100,000. Australia doesn't have guns and they had 1.0, China probably doesn't have guns and they had 1.0, Canada had 1.6 and Monaco had 0. Monaco probably doesn't have a 100,000 people? None of these countries are on the list, at least I didn't see them. At any rate, the list was designed to be misleading.

                                  Were those stats gun deaths, machete, knives? What is the context of those stats. Most of those countries do not have functional Governments.

                                    I think this is where that list came from.

                                    Hey guys I just want to say I am not trolling or trying to get folks who do not like others point of view, or thoughts, in a uproar.
                                    Just trying to say/show there are two sides to everything, and throwing some info I thought would be pertinent to the subject.
                                    And that gun control done by banning anything is not the way I feel gun control should be handled.
                                    And since Solo may ask, how I think it should be handled. I do not know.
                                    I will shut up, forget about this thread if everyone just thinks I am some kind of crazy, and just trying to get people in an uproar.

                                      Steve, it does not matter if it was a gun or knife. Supposedly all those countries have 100% gun bans or darn close to it.
                                      Just shows if the info is any good that banning/gun control for the most part does not do much good.
                                      No matter how functional or nonfunctional the government.
                                      Once again I am not saying anything is fact or truth. Just something I thought was interesting info when I seen it.

                                        Are you saying that you need guns to defend yourself from your own government? if yes then why do you always vote for politicians that want to increase military spending?

                                        pete, i'm thinking you've been in this country long enough to realize we are given two 'choices' for presidents... and they both always have surprisingly similar agendas.. (i guess it's not that surprising when you consider they're being funded by the same people.. i.e.-JP.Morgan gives lots of money to both candidates etc)..

                                        but they all increase military spending.. regardless of what's said/implied during campaigning.. (remember, obama was going to stop the wars going on.. make some real changes... not!)

                                          It does matter if it is a gun or a knife! If the school massacre had been done with a knife wielding murderer the deaths would have been much less, and more manageable by the staff, but it was carried out with an assault weapon ......What do you not get about that πŸ˜•
                                          Really exactly do you not get about that ❗
