Laws don't work very well
when the income spread between rich and
poor is so wide.

Spoken like a true enlightened Democrat.

Maybe the politicians should be made to use guns on people that don't
vote for them or vote against them. Isn't that a form of attack that
warrants self-defence?

If you have laws you have to enforce them. It also helps if the
society in which you live has a more even spread of income
and social programs. Country's that have the vast majority of the
wealth concentrated in the hands of a small percentage
of their population tend to have higher rates of crime, and Mexico
is a very good example of that


Obviously you don't trust your same government that allows you to
be rednecks, running around with loaded weapons.


Governments are ran by people and people are not that trust worthy
when it comes to power and money. Look at what FDR did and more
scary what he tried to do. Heck, Bill Clinton took several
thousands of acres of land from a state with nothing more than a
stroke of a pen. G.H. Bush made a group of firearms illegal with
nothing more than a stroke of a pen.


We choose freedom from government promoted hysteria. Some don't
have that freedom of choice.


For the most part people get the form of government they deserve.
If a people are cowards they get a government that has no problem
killing anyone who tries to stand up against it. If a people are
weak the get a government that runs their lives. If a people are
strong they get a government that respects them.

Through out history 'governments' have killed a lot more of the
people they were governing than criminals have. And to be honest
with you I rather sit in my house with a firearm and worry if a
criminal might try to rob me than sit in my home with or without a
firearm and worry that the government might try arrest me because I
don't support it.

Guns are population control promoted by your government.

If guns are so great what is the problem with registering them?

The thing Americans used to fear the most was is the American
government (a lot of us still do) and history has shown the world
that registration of firearms is nothing more than a precursor to
government control. And in the case of firearms a precursor to
confiscation. Germany, England and Canada are prime recent
examples.



If Americans truly fear the Government, why do they not get out and
vote? You have 20% of the population dictating to the rest of you
because they do.

Your first point is, IMO, the greater problem here. The percentage of
people owning firearms was much higher in the early part of the 1900's than
it was in the later part but the crime rate was much lower. What did change
was the enforcement of the laws on the books and the punishment a convicted
criminal could expect.


Guns are population control promoted by your government.

If guns are so great what is the problem with registering them?

The thing Americans used to fear the most was is the American
government (a lot of us still do) and history has shown the world that

Most people don't fear the government, AAMOF, it seems as though most people
DEPEND on the government. I seem to remember reading that close to 50% of
the people in the US get government 'assistance of one type or another. As
long as they can get THEIR money from the government they don't care what it
does.

I grew up in the south of the USA. When I was a kid we often went hunting of
some sort before and/or after school if work and sports allowed. I would say
many of my male friends had a firearm of some sort in his car ( we had
drivers license at 14 years of age. ) It wasn't until recently that a
student could think about shooting more than one student before he was faced
with the wrath of his fellow students. The driving age was increased to 16
because concerned parents had a problem with driving not firearms. I
remember being aware of the responsibility of my actions early on. I am
convinced that of the weak ( old-female ect ) were armed with some defensive
weapon that could be used for self defense we would all be better off. The
laws have changed to restrict the innocent thus allowing the cowardly to use
weapons without a concern of a equal reaction. Unless you have lived in an
environment such as I have You are not qualified to condemn firearms for the

We are qualified to condemn such idiocy. We come from a society were we can
walk the streets, on that does not kill 1000s of its citizen each year by
gunshot. Aim for a society that is free of guns - get your mind right. It
is easier then.

We do not have or need soldiers on our streets. Cops are seen in cars,
occasionally, and sometimes downtown on the streets. Their weapons are
locked in a holster that is never opened without just cause and a
written report follows if they do.

We do not have fear of being shot by a drunk in a bar, friend, loved
one, or a cop. It just doesn't happen. Hunting accidents do happen
about once per every few years. That is being attempted to stop it
also.

USanians are turned away from our borders everyday with their
insecurity weapons. We don't need them or want them. They would be
considered criminals and arrested.

Also, Every Saturday of quail season Mr. Brown would walk his bird dog ( on
a leash ) from one side of town to the other with his double barrel shotgun,
breach open across his arm, to view it to be unloaded on his way to his
hunting location. It is still not against the law to carry a hunting gun in
view and unloaded any where. You can not conceal a fire arm or carry it
loaded. If this concept is hard to grasp think of the idiot or very old or
drunk behind the wheel of a car. It happens every day and not all are
caught. I think the car is as dangerous as a fire arm handled by the
mentally weak. I do think the closer to urban living the need of a hunting
gun diminishes. The rural folks have a different life style. Different
strokes for different folks. I my self have not picked up a gun in many
years or since my dad and I stopped quail hunting.

You could get hit by a car, crossing the street at any time,
unexpectedly.

You may as well put on a blindfold and cross because it could happen
anyway. Ridiculous logic.

Only a Yank can think like that. There are drunks in cars so we must all
carry guns too. Duh!!!!! Be my guest, shoot each other, I just feel sorry
for the poor innocent victims.

It is the mentally weak ( criminals and not yet mentally matured children )
who shoot each other or someone else. Until we can separate the mentally
weak from the populous we will see firearm fatalities. You do not hear about
the other 92% of all American households that do have firearms. This is why
any legislation to remove firearms is not practical. We are also
consistently warned by our German immigrants that were asked to register
there firearms, and they did, only to have Hitler collect them all, allowing
him to dominate Germany and Austria and other surrounding countries without
a struggle. Ray

I would expect you could consider much of what you hear as prattling tripe.
( little minds ) I guess if I lived in a world where some one protected me
from all harm--no I can not imagine a fantasy world you must live in.

In your tiny mind I live in fantasy world - a world very real to us - a
world where police don't even carry guns, replicas are banned and if you are
found in possession you can get 5 years. I love living in fantasy world -
absolutely love it!!!!! You should try to build on where you live.

Well apart from the fact that you DO live in a fantasy world, so does he..

I think you are well matched frankly..

Bugger! I'll have to put you in my killfile again.

Lost it in the disk crash/hardware problems.

I'm only really answering now because I need to see if removing a
certain RAM chip has resulted in stable operation.

So far so good. Possibly you should mention that a frontal lobotomy
might cure your own personal medical issues.

When you are in the company of other folks. They must all be gentlemen or
are you in the shadow of a police officer at all times?, never in the
company of one who would take advantage of any opportunity to remove an
article of value from you. Are they all equally matched in strength and
weight? Could they do harm to you without fear of being damaged them selves?
If you consider the many folks ( of all nationalities ) trained to kill with
their hands, as I have been in the military. A firearm or any other
defensive weapon is just a tool that renders the owner more than equal. I
have friends whom I do not want harmed so I do not feel I have the right to
deny them personal protection. In the real world no one is equal to any one
else in any measurement method. Legislation can not change this. As long as
we have criminals or mentally challenged people that are among us, because
they are hard to separate from the mentally stable there is going to be a
problem, not the tool ( gun, knife, tazer or mace ). Drugs and greed are
catalysts to violence problems.

I Thought you might find this interesting . . .



In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of
13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000
Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000
Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.



------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million
educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by
new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own
government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million
dollars. The first year results are now in:



List of 7 items: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies
are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!



In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent. Note, that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the
criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!



While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in
armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the
past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is
unarmed.



There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the
ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety
has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in
successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience
and the other historical facts above prove it.



You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save
lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the
law-abiding citizens.



Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!



The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them
of this history lesson.



With guns, we are 'citizens'.
Without them, we are 'subjects'.



During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew
most Americans were ARMED!

Not at all. They are not genlemen,merely law abiding citizens by and large.

Ah. You mean Bnakers, Lawyers, Accountatants and salesmen? well one
tries to avoid them naturally. I dont think waving guns at them does
much good, or police either.

Not really. `That's a basic law of nature. You can see it with animlas

Is he small enough to eat ? CHASE.

Is he large enough to eat me? AVOID.

Is he in between..treat with respect, as damage my happen on both sides.

Not that many round here.

You are a sad sicko Ray.

The only person I would feel a need for a firearm to defend myself
against, is YOU.
