Illegal regime ? Why is it that the Americans are so afraid of their own government ?
If the world history of the last one hundred years is not reason enough to distrust goverment then I really don't know how to explain it to you.
If governments were so evil then how come things are they way they are in europe. Why is it we don't run around shooting each other in Europe ? Are we generally just smarter than the Americans ? No I don't think so. Gun control is the answer.
A mere 69 years ago in Europe millions upon millions went around shooting each other, even rounding up their fellow citizens and liquidating them. I bet the Jewish people would have loved to make a stand, as well as the million upon millions of other people.
I understand your reasons for having a gun Amsel, if I lived in the states I'd also be sure to have one myself. Why ? Because everyone else has! And that's the problem. The guns need to be removed from the streets alltogether. And it isn't impossible, it's being enforced in Europe right now. But it's going to prove a huge task for the US at this point because of all the guns in circulation on the street at this point, but if you don't try then it's never gonna get any better.
Europe is much better at controlling people then here, but it is not hardly something to brag about in my opinion, but liberty before security is counter-intuitive.
Let me ask you this Amsel, which idea do you like best: The one were you absolutely NEED a gun to keep your family safe? Or the one where you don't NEED a gun to keep your family safe?
Since people tend to kill others with knives, clubs, swords, screwdrivers, and steel toed boots, my odds are much better with a gun. They tend to equalize the situation even if you are outnumbered. Remember, about 1 in 10 of us are sociopathic, and even more then tht are criminalistic. Gun laws don't stop homocide. It was here long before guns were.
I know which one I'd choose.
The US government ought to strive at removing all guns from the streets, even if it means by using extreme methods to do so. Cause only when the guns are largely gone will the situation get any better. And then when it has been achieved, maybe in a period of 5 years or more, then you could restrict all access to firearms to gun clubs.
What you are saying is that the goverment ought to trample the Constitution and declare war upon its own citizens. I can see this happening. It wouldn't be in the worlds best interest for America to cease being free and thrown into a revolution like extreme methods employed by the goverment would only cause. The good thing is that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't believe in gun control/people control, and any goverment would be hard pressed to disarm us, especially our own who depends upon our voluntary service for its security.
....Ok on the political stuff, sorry...........
Someday I'm going to build a Lefty Hawken Muzzleloader, with a nice Curly Walnut stock.
