Americans own a hundred million rifles, just as the founding fathers intended. They saw an armed citizenry as being the best defense against foreign and domestic aggression.
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
– Thomas Jefferson
” … to disarm the people – that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.“
– George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380
“[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation…(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”
–James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46
Obama, Feinstein and Bloomberg are working tirelessly to undermine the principles which the US was founded on. They are attempting to create an association in the public consciousness connecting a disarmed citizenry with safety. History tells us that such an association is normally a catastrophe.

I wonder what the current policy is on Afghani citizens having arms?
Iraqis were allowed an AK-47 each, with 2 clips, in part, to “Prevent a new Saddam” from taking over again

Good idea. You are snipping your own comments now.
I didn’t snip my comments.
I did. Nothing that looks like suggestions of violence.
The liberal minds are on a mission and it isn’t from God.
The mindless followers have no idea what their master are up to!

Regrettable oucome, for sure — BUT —
try running away from cops in Brazil (and most other countries for that matter), and see how far you get.
You’re right Ivan. Brazil and lots of places have an unwritten police policy of shoot first ask questions later. My point is that when Australian Police are the ones with weapons, unarmed people get killed and in a majority of cases no policeman gets charged with homicide and rarely gets discharged from the force. I have no problem if Police shoot criminals armed with guns.

The problem is – based on this criteria – the police in Sydney could be reasonably excused for shooting up every second vehicle in some outer western suburbs.
Touche!
