Hey!

I find it odd that the "left" wants guns banned and the "right" doesn't. It would seem to me that people who have a great deal to fear from an encroaching government would not want to rid themselves of their means to protect their freedoms and those who wish to encroach on people's freedoms would not want the citizenry to remain armed. OOOH! hey, maybe I got it all wrong. Maybe it is the "left" that wants to curtail our freedom and the "right" that wants to protect it.

Man, it sure can get confusing sometimes.

I belong to the NRA and I voted for Bill Clinton and supported him through both terms. How's THAT for dichotomy?

I believe that we not only have a right to bear arms but we have a duty to at least consider that we might NEED to use those arms in order to remove an unwanted government. As looney as that sounds, the people do indeed have the right to remove the governement, by force if necessary.

Of course the government has the obligation to blow us away should we exercise our right to overthrow it.

Dang I wish that Joe Offer had deleted THIS thread.

Well I gotta go, hafta go out to the Militia firing range, seems someone got a Exocet for Christmas and we're gonna do some missle drill.

Kill the thread, please!
