Its amazing that so much effort is put into killing terrorist(note: i dont have a problem with bringing terrorist, or any criminal for that matter to justice) when americans kill more americans than a terrorist could possibly dream about killing.

Absolutely, couldnt agree with you more. And until society has reached an acceptable level of harmony(that is one without so much pent up hatred and mental problems)take their guns away from them. Yes the majority has to suffer sometimes for the greater good. Its too easy for mentally unstable people to get guns.

You can't protect people from themselves through law. Drugs are illegal and they are everywhere. Those are meant to protect those that would use said drug who possibly wouldn't know how bad they would be for them. But we still have a problem with drugs here (and everywhere).

And you solidyfied my point exactly. Poland was taken over because of their "easy target" status. It was a stepping stone to russia, just a blip on the radar. Which is why germans themselves were disarmed prior to the war as well. Difficult for the Jews to fight back if they are unarmed, right Hitler? Hey, no resistance makes it easy right? Take a page from history and ignore it if you'd like.

And for the record, I am neither a member of the NRA nor have I ever been to anything NRA related. So what ya got now wonder from down under? Oh wait, its cowboy!
Yeah good point....lets just keep selling guns to any tool that wants one. Much better than trying to control firearms. Theres a difference between making them illegal and controlling them. Problem is the government makes too much money off illegal firearms. Sell firearms to foreign nation, foreign nation sell a portion to weapon dealers who inturn ship them back to the states (and other countries) to be sold illegally.

As for drugs they arent designed to kill other people. They often lead to that, and quite often thru the use of firearms, but thats not their purpose. And yet again if the government has a finger in the pie they're not going to throw it in the bin are they?

Poland was taken over because ITS RIGHT NEXT TO GERMANY. Where were they meant to start? Tahiti?

So Kerry is going to exterminate a portion of the US population that he doesnt like? Yeah like thats ever going to happen.

PS: the world is just a little different to how it was during the second world war. I dont think you can really draw much of a comparison.

And how many murders are committed in the heat of the moment? A knife or fist will not result in a fatal attack as often as a firearm.

No. Guns do not cause crime. People do. You miss the point. Taking a gun away from an honest man has nothing to do with stopping crime.

Not the .45, but identical to the "anti's" anyway...

My friend bought his 3 weeks ago, now he wants the tactical, so I am getting a sweet "friends" deal on it!

Yeah, I belong to a local CMP club and already did the Garand competition shoot. Just haven't ordered a rifle yet. Been spending money on other things....


I already have a bunch of the Danish 30-06 in bandoleers just need a rifle to shoot it with.
