Start with helping mentally ill people. Look up how many shooters are on Prozac in American history....

hey!!! welcome to the party!!! it was getting lonely here for a moment between three of us...

mentally ill... but how do you define mentally ill?

there were times in the not long ago history of this country when alternative sexual orientation was considered to be a mental illness... even criminal behaviour... not anymore (the laws are still in the books, but not enforced). Are we going to trust the government to tell us who is sane?

any normal person can snap on a moment's notice... and do crazy things...

i don't want your guns... as a matter of fact, keep them... 2nd amendment has nothing to do with it anymore, but it is irrelevant...

what i would like to see, that the guns would be like vehicles, you can have them, they would have titles, you can buy, sell, trade, junk them... insure them.. have a license to own them... to get the license, you would go and take the classes on how to handle the guns... I have no beef with the guns, guns are inanimated objects... as they say, guns don't kill people... but, by the same token, screwdrivers do not put screws in or out... guns are tools and since they are dangerous tools, should be regulated... you would not allow an untrained person handle a power tool (well, maybe for fun, you would!!! lol)... why an untrained person can have a device that is lethal by design?

and since we are on cool terms with the State, and need the guns to protect ourselves from criminals, we might as well submit to that licensing and registration... and then, even carry in public, a la Texas (not sure if they carry pieces in public, I am just saying it).

But, most gun owners will not go for this registration - why not? we already established that the militia and free state have nothing to do with the right to bear arms as per DC vs. Heller..

In all of history, has there EVER been a civilization that prevailed against a technologically superior invader who was committed to total warfare? I think not, but am willing to be schooled.

Based on the assumption that there has not been such a civilization, I don't see what people who hoard a few hundred guns think they can really do against a government that is acknowledged to have the most powerful military force on the Earth. I think those who believe they can hold off the American Military - committed to your destruction are simply delusional.

You think the USSR was committed to TOTAL Warfare in Afghanistan?

remember the August of 2008, when then newly elected Medvedev moved 1 mln man army into a 4 mln man nation of Georgia?

if soviets really wanted to commit to war in afgan, there would be no ethnic afganis left... like, ethnic talysh... or ethnic assirians... how often have you heard about those?

soviets were tippy-toeing with the war, and after death of Brezhnev in 1982, wanted to get out (with exemption of Andropov rule, he had a very tight grip on the ussr. even almost started a nuclear war with US during NATO"s Able Archer war game)

You guys wanna post some facts to
back up anything you say?
Or do we just go with your
opinion?
