Do people who promote the "disarming of private citizens," e.g. taking away all guns, trust our government leaders and its military completely?
I do not need a gun to keep my government in line.The 2nd amendment was created before cell phones, twitter, and the internet. In early America, Britain and other countries, pretty much did whatever to Americans that they wanted to do. Nobody could do a damn thing about it. Guns helped stop some of tthe abuse of private citizens, but when it came down to it, when 20 soldiers with guns showed up, people let them into their homes and fed them. I will grant you that 200 years ago, a lone person in the middle of nowhere needed a gun to protect themselves from wolves, Natives, robbers. Heck, I will even acknowledge that some people still need guns for those things, but not as many as think they do.Today, I have a voice without a gun. I have the internet, TV news, cel service,,, nothing the government does goes un-noticed for long, and like it or not, Stephen Colbert keeps the government in line more effectively than all the gun toting 2nd amendment supporters added together. (and that is still almost not at all) Maybe the NRA has more influence on what the government does, but even they don’t use guns to accomplish that.If a person thinks the only thing that is keeping the government out of their home is a personal firearm, the Government will gladly give you a useless gun to keep you quiet.
Liberalism? Conservative? What do these really mean?
Wow...good job! Pretty much sums it up and yeah...prepare to be attacked with namecalling. I'm sure they are on their way!
Why would the NRA give Obama an 'F' rating if Obama was really pro gun as democrats want you to believe?
Because he well deserves it! Unlike the liberals that only believe the lie the liberal gun control bigots pass on to them, the NRA knows the facts. Liberals are no interested in facts they would rather believe their liberal gun control bigots than look at the truth. Fact is that this muslim Hussein 0bama vote on every gun control bill that came to the floor while he was in congress. Here is the way the liberal gun control bigots look at things and one of the very few things they say that is not a lie. Our main agenda is to have ALL guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed. -Sarah Brady The sale of guns must stop. Halfway measures are not enough. -Sarah Brady "Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal." -Janet Reno @ Joey Jo jo. Now that is a typical liberal response, no facts, no proof, no argument, just Blah, blah, blah...... It is almost scary the intelligent it took to make such a comment, as this liberal did, but after all this is typical of the extent of the liberal mind.
I've heard many gun advocates argue that arming everyone would prevent these mass murders. Do you agree?
In my country most people are not allowed to carry a gun or even a knife that's too big, and I can tell you that there are many many ways to murder a human being. People are not allowed to protect themselves here so in some areas they live in fear everyday for gipsies are very inventive at killing and assaulting people. Ax, kitchen knife, hammer, bat you name it. What I'm trying to tell is that it's people that kill and not the guns. Plus if someone really wants to kill people with a gun they can get it on the black market here as well.
