True meaning of Gun Control ? - Page 16

 

 

Gun control will help because it is entirely logical and necessary.  No one writing the Constitution or the Bill of Rights could have imagined the power and destructiveness in what is available as personal firepower, as it exists today. They could not imagine that it would be used and turned against their own children sitting in a classroom in their town.

 

I'm sure people used guns against other people "back in the day" as well.  They didn't have to imagine, they lived it too.  People haven't changed a whole lot.  They also were aware of advances of their time and from earlier times, just as we're aware things will be different 100 year from now too.  They also witness and imagined the power and destructiveness a gov't or invading power could have over a populace with no means to defend themselves.  That is the reason it is part of the bill of rights.  They knew exactly what they were doing.  

The Taliban are a bunch of thugs. They want control and power. What do you think they want? 

Sounds a lot like the US regime doesn't it? 150,000 dead civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan all under false pretense. Would it be justifiable if other nations decided to occupy  the US for being a bunch of thugs? Would you feel the same way if it was 150,000 American's being murdered? 

 

Ahhh that's 1.5 million dead not 150,000.  About 35,000 US soldier, alliance and contractors.

LOL, don't even. I just have to recall an image of a sky blue burqua and the woman who was stoned to death, wearing it.

BE,

 Where did you get your stats? All I can find from numerous sources are estimates between 150,000 - 160,000 dead and 870,000 injured.

LOL, don't even. I just have to recall an image of a sky blue burqua and the woman who was stoned to death, wearing it.

Why is it funny? There was a time when men in white hoods hung black men from trees, would this have been justification for an occupation of the US based on moral superiority?

You have to do the math yourself Felloffher then get it varified by FOIA. Go year by year - gunshot wounds, impact of a car bombs, aerial bombardments, result of accidents/friendly fire and other blast/ordnances.

Go to the Post Invasion website pull the years - then go to the UN Population Division and pull the numbers - THEN construct your letter of conclusion and send for a confirmation request via Freedom Of Information Act. Any one website will not have the totals - they publish year by year in hopes the reader doesn't add them all up.

That LOL was a smirk. So sorry. 

This has been hashed and rehashed. Let's do this simple. Yes, we never found WMD. That doesn't mean they never existed, it means we never found them. And, really, I do agee, we wouldn't have invaded I am sure, if a couple of airplanes hadn't found their way barreling into the World Trade Center Buildings. Of course, you will just deny that happened too. I certainly know mistakes were made. 

So, since you guys have all the answers, what exactly would you do now to fix this problem, as you see it? Please be detailed, I am very curious, I want to see if my suspicions on your answers to fix the world are even close.
