Think about this for a while, JUST THE DEER HUNTING LICENSED sport hunters in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia ALONE comprise MORE gun owning people than the largest army that has ever existed in the ENTIRE WORLD!
And there are 46 MORE States whose gun owning sport hunters ADD to that already huge list!
The VC were armed with AK series rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, landmines, and had training and organisational capabilities, besides a steady source of supply and reinforcement from North Vietnam via the Ho Chi Minh Trail. And with all that, the war after 1968 was basically fought by the North Vietnamese People’s Army regulars because the VC was pretty much wiped out at the Tet Offensive.
Well, what about the Aussies? They were in Afghanistan and Iraq too, and look where it got them. Nowhere.
The idea is for quick conversion, you have to shake it, break it, and then you can re-make it. They will NEVER go back to what they were, especially technically. Experience has raised everybody’s sights. Whether they will ever be our friends is another question. Think Viet Nam…
In fact, it’s MORE than never a good idea!Before that idiot Shrub invaded Iraq on completely phony fabricated pretenses, Iraq was an oil producing nation that in effect aided our fuel problems by producing oil. NOW, after the United States BLEW MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OIL IN PURSUIT OF A COMPLETELY USELESS PHONY WAR TO INFLATE SHRUB’S EGO, Iraq’s oil producing capability sits in total chaos and will probably never be rebuilt. Or at least take a LONG TIME to get rebuilt.As Will Rogers said, “When you get into trouble five thousand miles from home, you’ve GOT to have been looking for it!”
The Jews are traditionally a passive people. They NEVER had guns and they paid the price!The United States is UNIQUE and was INTENTIONALLY set up to be UNIQUE as a gun owning people.Go read Federalist Paper Number 46 written by James Madison for PROOF of that!(Stuart answered for the others before I got back here today.)
Because the evidence seems to point to that he died of KIDNEY FAILURE in an Arab hospital SEVERAL YEARS AGO!
The United States Government KEPT HIS IMAGE ‘ALIVE’ for several years because it aided ‘our’ war propaganda. But when the war became not something that they wanted to pursue anymore, they had to ‘get him dead’ by some means!
So you ‘think’ a helicopter can crash on take-off and nobody will be killed in the crash, eh! SOME PEOPLE are so STUPIDLY gullible that they will ‘swallow’ any line of BS that the government and the ‘PRESStitutes’ (The press who will sell their ‘services’ to the government for a good story that will sell LOTS of news media!) will hand out!!
Don’t forget, Bush told us from the deck of USS Abraham Lincoln “MIsision Accomplished”. At what cost , Mr. W., and for what?Mr. Lincoln must be rolling over in his grave at this American disgrace.
Love your comments, my friend. In the words of a true man of the Great Spirit (he referred to him as the First Cause) the basic sin is SELF! Everything else is a manifestation of that.

Wars have never “won the hearts and minds”of the invaded countries, but they have won the seal of approval from the defense industry and Wall Street.

The leader’s name is Koch. And yes, he will sell out your country for a few scheckels, too.

The German and Italian citizens were disarmed by their socialist leaders. Gun control is essential for despotic domestic rule.
