I have done everything in my power to avoid hearing, looking at or seeing the names or the faces involved. Reading their stories or hearing about how it happened.

Not because I don't care.. because it would throw me into such a fit of anger, sadness and helplessness. Mostly, because there isn't a damn thing I can do to fix it.

Adults dying is one thing.. children dying is completely another.

Yup. I'm unplugged. It's better this way.

I can't fathom a reason for me to own a machine gun. There is no good reason to, IMO. But if the gubment can own and operate one, damn straight I wouldn't mind having one myself.

We lost our freedoms and liberties when the government achieved the access to items/weapons/etc that we cannot.

Safety vs Freedom. I choose Freedom.

Hey, I'm all for shutting down the war machine. I want to watch Billy Jim Bob and the redneck boys take on the Delta Force - they should make that reality tv.

Yes, which is why basically nobody makes that argument. You can do a pretty damn good job of making the far right look crazy without distorting what they're saying in an attempt to make your point. Can you find any quotes where someone is seriously proposing that they should have the right to own a completely operational and armed tank, cruise missiles, fighter aircraft with weapons systems and weapons intact, naval vessels with either cannons or missiles? Or when people make arguments like this, are they talking exclusively about firearms?

We should all carry around artillery so that we can defend ourselves from our government that want to take all our rights. I wish this election would have gone on for another year so we could have aired out all the craziness in this country through the media. These ideas have been proliferated by the NRA and white supremecy groups for decades, and I live among thse crazy bastards. Montanabob and I live in an area of the country that is full of right wing radicals.

I know you already knew this because I've only told you via these forums about 50 times, so make this 51. I call and have called my self a republican not because I only vote red on the ballots but because when I first started looking at the political parties and wanted to make an informative choice between the two, I read BOTH parties platforms and constitutions and I lined up mostly with the GOP. And to add to that, I thought the DFL platform/constitution was eerily similar to the Communist Manifesto, hence my nickname for Rockmolder as the Communist (all meant in love, Rock).

As of right now, I agree with your take on the war machine. In a different economy and worldwide image, I may disagree.. but I think now is not the time to keep pumping in money into other people's affairs with our military/war machine and instead put our effort into fixing this broke ass economy
