You made it sound like we started every war, should we have let saddam continue to rape and pillage the country of Kuwait?

"You guys are SO VIOLENT"

Actually it's a very small segment in the US population that's violent, if I pointed out those demographic facts I don't think you would like it. So enough of the generalizations.

"Its in your nature as a culture to meet adversity with aggression"

Once again, I could clearly point out the segments of US society that meet that criteria, but you already know the result.

You do realize that legal gun owners are almost never involved in senseless criminal violence?

Where was the American overkill during the Rwanda Genocide? The Yugoslavia Genocide? Apartheid South Africa AND! North Korea now?

No moral authority, pure economic interests of your oligarchy. America didnt attack because of humanitarian interests or because of America's selfinterest, you attacked because your oligarchy could (continue to) make a lot of money.

Your 0.001% sacrificed all those lives on both sides, all those soldiers and civilians mentally destroyed for what they been through, used up TRILLIONS of your tax money, hogged the economic resources of your country to wage a war and - all that so they could stuff the pockets of the chosen few with the tax money of America and the spoils of war from Iraq.

And they didnt take Saddam out while they easily could, so they could go in again.

So no, no moral authority, that ended in World War 2, where, I say with clarity, you were great heroes up to a point.

My take as an evul liberal is that I've never had the desire or need of a gun, and if they magically disappeared over night, I certainly wouldn't shed a tear. Having said that, though, I don't think prohibition of them is the answer. Ownership of firearms is in the constitution in no uncertain terms, after all. Besides this, we all know how well prohibition works (like not at all). And to add, I've no problems with responsible gun ownership.



Ownership of certain weapons are protected. Ar-15s are not. Machine guns have essentially been banned for decades. That ban works pretty well. We don't have a lot of mass machine gunnings, do we?





you're wrong on both counts. you and I have been through this before

I can and have owned machine guns legally, ar-15s are protected under the second amendment

Well, I agree we should have taken Hussein out back then, I am also disappointed at that

Yes, Kuwait was/is our ally, I fail to see how helping them was wrong

Yes, we had/have economic interests in Kuwait, I fail to see how protecting that is wrong

I notice your double standard, when we intervene, we are impuned, when we don't we are lambasted, so which is it? You want us to be world police or not?

And before you say "war for oil"... You goddam right, it's our fucking oil and we have every right to protect it!

I'm not sure why you would consider people committing the vast majority of violent crime in the US to be liberals, in my opinion they're non-political thugs.

are you claiming those guns were illegally manufactured. They were all legal until they ended up in the black market - either stolen or diverted from legal sources.

The reason there aren't a lot of machine guns on the streets these days is because it has been effectively illegal to manufacture and import machine guns in the us for 30 years now.

Yes. If you contract to buy something, even if it's not produced yet, it's yours. Happens all the time in commodities

Actually it is possible to legally own a handgun in Canada as a private citizen, but the restrictions around it are so heavy that most people wouldn't want to bother.

I don't think you have a clue how the international oil market works. Nobody has a contract on oil that hasn't even been pumped out of the ground yet. I think you are confused about the nature of futures contracts.

Also, it is not the business of government to protect commercial contracts.

where have I ever claimed that 100% of the time a good guy with a gun will
always stop a bad guy with a gun? I ams still waiting for yu to validate your
lie about everyone on the military base and in the recruiting centers being armed


but wait... wasnt Abdulazeez stopped by good guys with guns? wasnt Mateen also
stopped by good guys with guns? in fact, werent all of those mass shooters
stopped by good guys with guns?

Lol. A futures contract obliges the seller to sell or the buyer to buy a product at a certain price. If the seller cannot produce the product they must purchase it on the open market, and resell it. Futures contracts say nothing about owning oil from a particular oil field. A large majority of futures contracts are made by people who aren't even producers of the commodity. Futures contracts were actually designed in part because it is understood that things like crop failures or oil field failures occur.

Without going into too much detail...

I have a gun cause I love guns. I also have a gun because I don't want to be robbed or killed or have my gf molested or something insane like that. I also have a gun because if we give up our rights then we might as well be slaves, I'm not giving up my rights to own weapons and I'm not giving up my rights of free speech so I excersize both openly. Were still America.

It's called protecting our interests, what do you think would have happened if our supply was suddenly cut off?
