Tyrannical government has always been the problem, it's a never ending story.

America is experiencing tyrannical government expansion right now.

That is why gun sales are so high all over the country. The people are getting ready, not to attack...but to protect.

If Hillary Clinton crams gun controls through a United Nations treaty in opposition to the US Constitution she will become the Jane Fonda of this generation.
That isn't a place I think any intelligent person would want to be. Jane Fonda was a traitor and is probably one of the most hated people in America for giving aid and comfort to the Viet Cong, when America was at war in Viet Nam. All the Vietnam vets call her Hanoi Jane, and hate her, the spit on her, and curse her publicly even today. She did that 50 years ago, and the only thing that saved her from being prosecuted as a war criminal was the tremendous influence of her father, Henry Fonda. A man that all America loved.

Or to put it another way, she disagreed with her goverment's decision and did something about it. Just like you're proposing if necessary.

It amazes me that you can imagine the entire gun owning fraternity of the US rising up as a well organised counter-government force. You'd be reduced to small pockets of resistance blown out of existence either by the military or by the pro-government gun owning private militia.

@ Stern

Perhaps my cynical humour passed you by. Some cattle are ungulates. To make it easier I should have said that I voted but my political views are irrelevant save for on this one issue.

Yeah, funnily enough I thought it was plausible enough,considering your self-righteousness and the fact that you don't even know your own history..

Lol what a petulant post. Does it grate that someone won't bow down to your superior manliness? It must do if you've resorted to groundless insults.

not really, I kinda pity you actually, I think that you represent a certain kind of self-righteous individuals who convinced themselves that whatever their government does for/to them it's all acceptable, cos they're too lazy/ignorant/blind to see how they're being deprived of their freedom. Your government is basically telling you "I don't trust you and I'll do anything I can to control you" and you bow to them, and what you get in return is a country that is no safer than what it was in the 80s, more taxes and less rights.. but I'm sure you know better, so keep on living your deluded reality..

That's even better . Prove all of what you say, if you can.

Sadly not. You've proved nothing - prove what you say otherwise, just like my opinions, it's all conjecture.

Self-righteous Stern? Pot kettle black a little or what?

I'm not happy with the government of this country. I disagree with a whole host of their policies and I don't like the way the country is going. There are many things i would like changed.

Personally I think most of us are little more than serfs now anyway - we get the opportunity to work in order to pay an over-inflated mortgage, while the economy is run primarily so that a bunch of investment bankers have enough chips to enable them to retire on their fat bonuses. But whether or not I own a gun makes absolutely no difference to anything that is really important.

How am I self-righteous exactly? You think that the point I made are not valid?

That the gun restriction that was applied was just a political propaganda job to harvest the favour of the public opinion, whilst the real problem was a totally different one, the fact that there was no solid policy in plan to assign gun licenses whilst making sure that the people who applied didn't have any mental problems? Come on...

We are serfs indeed, and they treat us like we're utter imbeciles, people are not able to take on their responsibilities anymore, nanny-State will take care of us, take dangerous (for them) toys off our hands and let us play their games.. it doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to understand that, you only need to pay some attention to the politics and have some knowledge of history, but both these topics are boring for the majority (and our self-righteous friends here).

The funniest thing is that they really believe in what they say, they really think that nothing bad will ever happen to them, cos it's not possible, and even when the evidence strikes them on the face, like in 2005, it only mattered and had a meaning if you were directly hit by those attacks... sheep, nothing more, nothing less....

Well, we never really did leave the feudal system... we only got a few concessions.

Do a comparison of "society" to a battery hen farm, and I think you'll be in for a shock (current working class are the hens)
