What about Iraq's daily acts of war and treaty violations before the invasion? Or the UN resolution that authorized it? Saddam signed over his sovereignty in 1991.
It started being a lot less free (as far as gov't intervention, but we NEVER should have had slavery to begin with anwyay) with Abe Lincoln, and FDR finished it off.
Guns are the symptom, not the problem. Get rid of the socio-economic inequality, and the crime goes down. And, of course, the Second Amendment guarantees our rights to own guns. We can repeal that, but it's tough (by design) to do.
Britain got rid of guns, then people started stabbing each other. Now they're getting rid of big kitchen knives.
You're clearly not familiar with the federal system. It really depends on the state.
My state, NH, doesn't require licensing or permitting of firearms, but does require a license to carry it concealed (can't be nuts, a felon, or a wife beater). We have a very low crime rate. Vermont, our neighbor, doesn't even require a license to carry concealed. They have a very low crime rate. Massachusetts, or neighbor to the south, has very strict regulations. They have 5x the people and 2x the crime rate, giving them 10x the crime.
Well, then, there's the rub: it's either made of civilians who can fight, or a state-run group. Clearly, this is intended for a group of civilians who can fight. Why? Because it says, "The right of the people..." States don't have rights, they have powers and responsibilities. People have rights. And the Constitution is there to guarantee them to individuals.
Or, does the 19th Amendment just grant/ give women the right to vote?
>>There's a difference between defending yourself and carrying around a lethal weapon that has no other purpose than to kill.
Then I should be able to have an M16. It's specifically designed not to kill, but to wound.
Where can I sign up?
Or, how about this: if guns are designed to kill, why don't they aim and fire themselves? Or, why doesn't every guy/ girl who goes the range have the opportunity to sue the manufacturer of their firearms for failure to work when all they do is hit paper targets?

Iraq is a tragedy because some people don't want freedom and democracy.
Actually, it only applies to uniformed soldiers. No uniform, no protections.
Of course, we should be better than that, too.
Because two wrongs don't make a right?
And how can one consider a one-party system not evil?

I thought bombing the crap out of Germany shaped them up. They've played nice for 60 years now.
So has Japan.

You're being awfully anti-Semitic. After all, all the passages you're referring to are part of the Tanakh. Hell, they're all part of the Torah.
If you want to be equal opportunity, you'll have to find some good stuff from the Christian testament.
In other parts, it's known as "Saturday night."
If we got rid of the electoral college, wouldn't we end up with Flori-duh on a national level instead?
He didn't say all Muslims, he said "they" referring to the small, vocal, violent minority who seem to be the main perpetrators of the stereotype.
There are what, 1.5 BILLION Muslims in the world? And what, a few thousand seem to be a PITA? That's a fairly good ratio.
Of only that many people who THINK they're Christian were a PITA.
I'm emotionally harmed by censorship.
Now what?
MOABs are Cluster Bombs aren't used to take out bridges.
Cluster bombs are fantastic territory-denial weapons, and MOABs are great at clearing instant LZs.
Just not in cities.
Well, as a country that gained its independence through force of arms, I'm sure you can see the reasoning behind it.
After all, why aren't their murder sprees at gun shows?
Why would the thug shoot me dead? Felons aren't allowed to own guns. It's illegal!

And all that confiscated drug money is stored, where, a Bingo parlor?

The difference: socio-economic equality.

Well, you never see rampages at gun shows...
Heck, I'm pretty sure the NYPD shoots more unarmed civilians a year than people in my STATE do.
I was wondering the same thing...
But hey, it's America bashing, a license to make your own karma.
So because that poster has something that other people don't have, because they worked hard for it, they should be punished?
As your northern neighbor, I can only feel bad for you guys all the time.
It doesn't matter if we're causing global warming or not.
We shouldn't be destroying the environment.
Yeah, but aren't we all the same? Are you implying that some countries are better than others? That's awfully racist!
