Mikkj - gun control

Just a further note on these issues. Why do you assume that if the government was taken suddenly stupid, and decided to "round up all the guns", that the American people would go along with it? There would be firefights in the cities AND the country, and that's not even mentioning the survivalists, and militia groups. The military would be required to pull this off, and since you say that the military would never pull a coup because the individual soldiers wouldn't go along with it, why would they do this? Not to mention the njmber of guns which would be "lost", or "reported stolen", just before the order went into effect.

So you support a law that would accomplish nothing more than to make criminals out of law abiding citizens.

The same point goes for the U.N. issue. Why do you assume that the American people would go along with this? It shows a complete lack of faith in the American people to think that we would not rise up in protest, and FORCE the government to do what we wished.

Since only about 25% of the population even bother to vote. Our rights have been under attack for the last 50 years. SOciety is being lulled into a stupor by security while the government is usurping more and more of our freedom.

Eventually, paranoid fantasy MUST meet up with reality. You have to look at what would ACTUALLY happen, not just what you are afraid MIGHT happen.

I'd rather not let them whittle things down to the point where it becomes an issue. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
