Rodney King's not the point in the example above. The behavior of the police is the point. If America were disarmed, we'd be protected by--what? Cops who hide behind trees when there is a real crisis, but then beat the defenseless when the opportunity arises. Look at what happened to the "undesirables" in Germany after the citizens were disarmed. There's bound to be video on Youtube of Jews with yellow stars on their coats being beaten by cops and mobs. That happened because the country was first disarmed.

And in America we have a government that admits it raped with acid at Abu Grahib. And it has killed 2/3's of a million Iraqi civilians in the past 3 years. And it has said that here at home you can be picked up and disappeared for "suspected" terrorism, with the definition of terrorism now being the breaking of a federal or state law. Not only should more restrictive gun laws be dismissed out of hand, we should repeal the 1968 gun law, which makes full auto weapons illegal. A government that will cluster bomb women and children with depleted uranium will not hesitate to destroy you and your family. American citizens need to get back on as even a playing field as possible with our rogue government.

I don't watch television, so I don't get the daily dosages of propaganda, but America is apparently now undergoing the media-induced traumatization that took place just after 9/11. After that incident, we were told we had to give up liberty for security. That was absurd on the face of it (giving up liberty leads to tyranny, not security--apples and oranges), and now Americans are apparently being traumatized with a horrific video while they're being told this won't happen again if we give up guns. Giving up guns will only INSURE it will happen again. Do any of you really think someone like Cho won't get the guns if he wants them?

My fear now is that we'll see even more and worse examples of this, soon. End of the school year, the media glorifying Cho, psychotropic drugs being forced on school kids, graduations and "last chances" coming up. If a rash of these shootings DOES occur, remember that the media shapes opinion, and they traumatized the country for a reason.
