    Sometimes i think you europeans are jealous of our right to bear arms. I am 16 and have 2 rifles and about 500 rounds of 7.62x39. i doubt that would be legal in your country, but it is here. :)

        My 5. No enemy is as difficult for a traditional Army to combat as is an armed indigenous insurgency. Nukes, ballistic missiles, tanks,helicopters, and heavy artillery are little help.

        Smart bombs and friendly fire help though, don't they.

              No, not really. I don't mind if you have a gun or not, but some arguements for guns are arguements against guns, too. Often it is said "we need guns to protect ourself against criminals with guns". If guns aren't allowed for everybody it's harder to get one even for criminals. Another point is that more people are shot by criminals than criminals shot by people defending theirselves. If it would be vice versa it would be a good arguement, but as it isn't that way, it's none. Don't get me wrong. If you had bazooka, shells and MPs at home, I won't mind. I'm far away. But if you would be my neighbour I wouldn't like that. :)

              "Often it is said "we need guns to protect ourself against criminals with guns". If guns aren't allowed for everybody it's harder to get one even for criminals." That is totally false; you should learn to think before you act. It has been proven that only the criminals will have the guns. Hence why they are criminals.

                Show the proof. That's of course nonsense. Many guns bought by normal people are used for crimes. Why are so many crimes with guns in America, more than in those countries, where guns are not allowed?

                      Did he say anything about the illegal (notice i didnt use quotation marks because they ARE here illegaly) mexicans, you idiot? Several times a year here in Arkansas there will be an news story about a meth "lab" that has been busted. Meth makes makes people into strange zombie-like creatures that are willing to do anything to get their drugs. And most of the time it doesnt have anything to do with any particular racial group.

                        you're correct, obviously. there'll be some serious reaction, when (notice I didn't say if - I believe it to be ultimately a sure thing) it happens. the country will go far to the right (except with say maybe 10% to 15% who'll blame "us") and being a Muslim will be dangerous (and, yes I understand the error that will be).

                                  you're correct, obviously. there'll be some serious reaction, when (notice I didn't say if - I believe it to be ultimately a sure thing) it happens. the country will go far to the right (except with say maybe 10% to 15% who'll blame "us") and being a Muslim will be dangerous (and, yes I understand the error that will be).

                                  As long as the reaction is aimed at those responsible for whatever the outrage is/was and that ALL Muslims must not be tarnished with the same brush otherwise the reaction to the reaction could be so great that the USA might (so to speak) grind to a halt for fear of who is standing infront or behind you. Everything in moderation should reap desired results.

                                    A few years ago there was a news story from the small town i live in about a meth user who was on a bad batch, and came home and shot his mother, and if i remember correctly his grandmother too.

                                      Did he say anything about the illegal (notice i didnt use quotation marks because they ARE here illegaly) mexicans, you idiot? Several times a year here in Arkansas there will be an news story about a meth "lab" that has been busted. Meth makes makes people into strange zombie-like creatures that are willing to do anything to get their drugs. And most of the time it doesnt have anything to do with any particular racial group.

                                      Considering the comments made by Espeir and others (including your good self)in earlier threads over the months, illegal Mexican seem to take a lot of blame for what appears to trouble you Americans, or have I read those postings incorrectly. For all I know, those meth drinking louts could easily fall within the context of the paragraph immediately above. Sorry if you were offended.

                                        Did i say anything about Mexicans, illegal or otherwise? I sure don't remember bringing 'em up. I guess i must've gone back and edited them out of my post, just to make your reply look stupid. How underhanded of me.... :rolleyes:

                                          you would hope that would be the case but it will depend on whether Muslims view themselves as Americans and speak out against whatever the event happens to be or do they view themselves as Muslims first and defend the perpetrators. If they do the latter, to use an archaic American term, it'll be Katy bar the door.
