really? A lot of Americans seemed to be fundamentally confused, and oppose gun control, and I am not just talking about NRA gun nuts.. everyday folks believe in guns too, it is supreme Americana, and unfortunately for the tens of thousands of americans and the three folks in Huntsville who are killed by gun violence every year, it is a flawed idea.


guns=gun violence

gun violence is indiscriminate of "law-abiding" citizens, hence guns should disappear.

Suchfriends- I don't think every non-American person thinks that ALL Americans approve of being legally able to carry guns. They ARE legal round your parts, though, so it's no surprising when these tragedies happen, and a consequentially more prominent fascination with them for some individuals allows them with fewer obstacles to be trigger-happy.

is anyone entitled to purchase powerful poison? anthrax?
it just seems cleaner to me, that's all.
i mean, if they can have guns, why not poison? it is way classier.
besides you could just poison school lunches and cause more damage.

how can anyone equate the right to bear arms with the right to free speech? surely having a gun pointed at you kind of cancels out the free speech thing.

altho i am not totally opposed to people having guns. if they would use them to overthrow their government instead of clinging to private property then it would be worthwhile.

It is a mistake to believe that it is possible to substitute "provisionally" the absolute power of a Central Committee (acting somehow by "tacit delegation") for the yet unrealizable rule of the majority of conscious workers in the party, and in this way replace the open control of the working masses over the party organs with the reverse control by the Central Committee over the revolutionary proletariat.

knox 02.15.2010 05:49 AM

oh look.

exploding plastic candle 02.15.2010 05:16 PM

I love how everyone sees the right to bear arms as so fundamentally American. The Second Amendment is completely anachronistic; it was created to preserve militias. Sure, you could argue that America was born because random dudes with guns saved our freedoms, but since then gun ownership has become the single most distorted "basic American freedom" out of the bunch.

Long story short: After the Civil War ended in 1865 white men needed a new way to oppress the freed black population of the South. The NRA was founded in 1871. Like so many other things that are "fundamentally American," gun ownership is also fundamentally racist.

in perfect world guns wouldn't exist, unfortunately they do. so therefore, everyone should own a gun to level the playing field. it's common fucking sense really and i hope everybody who supports "gun control", aka taking guns away from law abiding citizens so they can't defend themselves against gun wielding criminals, should be shot ROFL
