Tallcal, I completely understand where you are coming from and somewhat agree with your statements. Your still funny.
Look I only provided you facts of columbine, not some off the wall rhetoric from a fat idiot who makes millions and helps no one. The facts speak for themselves and I don’t expect you to know a TEC from a Tac. I respect that you rather not care about it.
The thing is, which may sound strange, is that I never believed that owning a gun, shooting a gun or hunting (which I have reservations about for other reasons) is a way to manhood. There has to be a lot of responsibility that goes along in life in order to achieve manhood.
As you enjoy and relax with a guitar, others enjoy things like reading and such but some take pleasure in destroying and killing things. I particularly think that when it comes to outright destruction and unwarranted killing, that is too much and shows immaturity.
BUT the problem is that gun control or in other words removing guns from society is not a real solution, it will lead to a lot of other problems that you should as an adult realize is a bad thing. I pointed out this in the past and I hinted at what I saw, but really, truly I can not tell you that in order to preserve a country like ours, we must not even began to depend on other countries or made – up entities that have no rights to protect or delegate a protector. This is what will end up happening if we decide to move toward a direction of complete removal of all weapons from society.
What we will end up with if we start with disarming our citizens is what other countries have faced in the past, radical changes in governments or leaders who become authoritarian and ruthless to remain in power. (I already here the c**p that we have that already with Bush, that is just a bunch of BS and you know it.) The plain truth is that gun control is a preload to killing – mass killing. Throughout the history of mankind disarming a populous has never led to anything but killing. Leaders found out that people with weapons do not allow dictators to exist and people without weapons are easily controlled. Look at places where this has taken happened and see the results; NAZI Germany, Revolutionary Russia, even your beloved China – all disarmed its citizens before the true bloodletting started. Read Goring’s account of the Nuremburg laws and German Weapons Law to see what they were up to. Look at what has happened in Africa, Sudan, Chad, Somalia for instance, if you don’t know go there and see first hand. Only the People who are in control have the weapons, no one else is allowed to be armed. Some say it can’t happen here, but I think it can.
It took Europe how many wars, how many governments and how many lives to come to the point where they are no longer using force to solve problems? A very long time and even now they can’t really agree on much. The funny thing is France leads the way (sublet I must add) in National Socialism by trying to circumvent the fair trade laws and some of the patent/copyright laws that all the other EU countries have agreed on under the guise of "National Pride". Forget the Arabs in the EU, they will be fighting among themselves soon.
BUT REMEMBER ONE IMPORTANT THING - WE THE UNITED STATES, WHO HAS ALLOWED OUR CITIZENS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE WEAPONS, HAVE COME TO THEIR RESCUE SEVERAL TIMES AND WITHOUT OUR CITIZENS LIVING IN A FREE SOCIETY THEY WOULD ALL BE LIVING IN HORROR UNDER A DICTATOR TODAY.
Today’s Europe forgets this fact, it forgets that it too had and in some cases still has a violent society while condemning ours. At least our founding fathers knew enough of European history to put the second amendment in the constitution in the first place.
We are a unique society; we are not like any one European nations or the EU so why try to act like it?
If you think we are violent, I suggest you go to Africa, not the touriesty places either. If you want some suggestions I can tell you places were the UN will not go but they sure like foreigners to visit. if you don't like that idea, check out south africa and see what a terrorist/communist did for the country.
