Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

Well, perhaps if I ever retire to a foreign country to make my dollars go further, it will be Peru.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Both gun topics still going on, eh? Amusing.

I'm not gonna read through the whole thing; like abortion, it's been done and done again and goes nowhere.

I went back up a couple, and I hate that chart. We got off on the wrong foot, sadly, and there's no going back. And it HASN'T decreased our crime to have so many guns.

I like Peru's laws, too, and found something interesting. In recent times, does anyone know of any country which used their "list" of gun owners to run around confiscating them? I think that's an interesting point, given it is one of the main ones made by the pro-gun folk. Why are so many of us so suspicious of our government that they think it can confiscate such a HUGE number of guns, when they can't deport a far smaller number of illegal aliens? Sure, they could have (or could) limit the number of guns people own from here on OUT, but I'm not sure how much good that would do at this point (especially given Mexican gun cartels have no problem getting tons of them, legally or illegally), but Americans would never allow them to be outlawed, and I don't believe the government would ever even ATTEMPT to round them up! That's a curious mentality, it seems to me.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

"How did Vietnam win against us? How did Afghan win against the Russians? Hrldow are the Iraqis and Afghans still keeping us there?"

Economics - and world powers helping the smaller country as a way to fight 'proxy wars'. China allied to N Vietnam, the US supplying Afghanistan against Russia, Iran supplying Iraq against the US, and Pakistan allied to Afghanistan against the US. And, in Afghanistan and Iraq the IED is king. Home grown militias with home-financed guns aren't the answer you claim they are.

Oh, without the French the US would not have won the Revolution.

I never claimed they were answers.

I said they are deterrents against tyranny, a balance in power that would make a govt think twice before putting the jackboot on, an extra asset that improves the chances of negotiation.

Yes, maybe all successful guerilla warfare was conducted with foreign aid. But the fact that an armed civilian population may seek out foreign aid should give the govt pause before provoking an uprising, right?

Umm, Niki ?

It's not widely publicized, and getting a cite now will be especially difficult, but I mentioned before closer to the event, that during Katrina when they *DID* do such a thing...

They had a list.

Where do you think they got it, then ?

You didn't SAY that the US won it's war, or N Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq theirs due to widely available small arms, you asked a leading question implying it. But you were wrong in your assumptions and now you're being just plain childish.

They couldn't have won on foreign aid alone, could they?

As is the case in most real life situations, more than one factor is required for a certain outcome. Small arms + foreign aid + smart tactical leadership + terrain + luck + whatever = successful guerilla campaign. But small arms are necessary to begin with, see? You take away small arms, and the rest of it doesn't matter.

They couldn't have won without anti-aircraft guns, tanks or cluster bombs either. The POINT is that individuals owning small arms was not the deciding factor you claim it was.

And - recognize this?

"Ah, so first, we (apparently, not you) are not imaginative enough, esp for sci-fi fans. Then, I am not realistic enough.

Since you appear to be the authority on the perfect balance between imagination and realism, why don't you share your vision, o wise one. So, you know, the rest of us unimaginative, yet unrealistic folk can see an example of what you are looking for."

Speaking of insulting and all, I've noticed it's often your go-to mode when you feel like someone hasn't abased themselves enough in stating an opinion that's different from yours. How dare they claim an opinion or knowledge from yours!

Ahh, the gun debate, just like abortion, goes on and on. And on.

Yes, Frem, I see it did happen...but can you show me where it happened to an entire country? Nagin is...well, Nagin, and I can see one local official getting away with it...but do you truly believe it could happen to ALL gun owners in America? It's just not possible, as far as I can see, and will never happen.

I'm actually not surprised it wasn't given much media coverage. I can just imagine the furor all over the country (and from the NRA)...so many seem convinced the government's "coming after our guns", it's been such a loud cry for as long as I've been alive, I just don't buy it. Just my opinion.

Let's look at just one example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Vietnam_War

Look at the list of weapons used against the Vietcong, and then look at what the Vietcong had. Now take out the list of small arms, and tell me they could have won without them.

I believe small arms ARE the deciding factor. They are essential; necessary but not sufficient.

But that wasn't the POINT I was making. The POINT is civilian small arms ownership is a deterrent to jackbooting the populace.

I've been away for a while - speaking of trolls, you sure painted yourself like a nice one.

Is your link relevant? I looked - didn't find any liberal posters here calling for banning all guns, or even implying it ... what was your point, again? Or are you still making shit up, like usual?
