how would hand guns have helped the 6 million in WWII? how much did hand guns help the Taliban against USMC? you are just plain idiotic - personal arms are no match for military weapons, and any illusion you harbor about fighting for your freedom is just a daydream.

Given that most armies issue some of their people with 9mm pistols and some armies use a number of bolt action rifles both of which are legal for the civilian owner there must be some value in them.

They would have helped both tactically and psychologically. Rapes and harassment would have diminished.

Plenty. They wound our guys daily. I don't doubt that they do more damage than a spray'n'pray AK action.

Tell that to the dead soldiers. And I'm sure it's the largest reason the leftists haven't turned us into a totalitarian state yet.

One thing that stuck out was that in the section on Armenia where they claim to be quoting Turkish documents, the documents are all in Arabaic, a totally different language.

Excellent point and I couldn't agree with you more. We should start issuing military weapons, and the training in how to use them, to all American citizens. Art

Art, can you imagine the consequences of militarily trained and armed Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, and Mara? (Not just those who have already infiltrated our military.) It'd be kinda like Afghanistan, huh?

On the contrary, in Afghanistan the ordinary citizens didn't have arms. Only the warlords gangs did. How long do you think the Crips et.al. would last when faced with an armed trained citizenry who are fed up with their shit? Art

I'm sorry, but in order to offer an opinion in rebuttal, you must have watched the video. I can discern you did not.

Ummmm. Excuse me, Art, for a moment. This has already been done. But only with the criminal citizens, and people who own guns.

Please pardon me while I ROTFLMAO thinking of how easily it would be to clean up street corners across this nation of the free by simply allowing the citizens to freely police their own neighborhoods and cleanse said street corners of drug pushers. I'm laughing at the dead drug dealers. And how, in less than 72 hours, we would have better neighborhoods all across this nation.

Then start issuing weapons to the citizens along the Mexican borders, and give them free license to clean up their neighborhoods and national boundaries, too.

LOTS and LOTS of crab food flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, I believe.

Au contraire. We taught the Mujahideen to fight the Soviets and now they've taught people to fight us, if they're not fighting us themselves.

THAT would be the quick, fun part.

In any case, I'd rather we -not- train and arm the gangs or the crazies, including our own religious zealots.

When the storm troopers came to cart them away to the death camps, they could have said, "Think again, bucko! "
