The fact that the government has thus far gotten away with as much as it has (by attrition) is evidence that Americans dont need to have guns. How is that you may ask? Well IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE NEED TO USE THEM YET ( look at what your govt is doing to you) then you really dont need them at all, now do you. The proof is in the pudding as they say. Americans may well bear arms but it is a moot point if THEY ARE TO COWARDLY TO THINK OF USING THEM! So if you wont use them for their "INTENDED" purposes then you dont need them at all. See the guns then just get invoved in "crimes" and are not being used as the tools (for checks and balances) that they are. We dont need more crime now do we? It appears to all watching that Americans do not know how to operate the trigger or when it should be operated. So just get rid of those pesky household "dangers" (redneck toys) and let the Dems (and Libs) SHOW you the love that they have invisioned for you. (Breath in, release and squeeze).

That is absolutely incorrect. The pattern size across an average room will only be about 6" or so. The human body is about 16" across. If you simply aim in the direction you will likely miss. At best you may strike the felon with a couple of pellets which won't do much good. By aiming you are likely to deliver the full load on target. That will give you a much better outcome. Please take a defensive shotgun class and learn the facts rather than do your readership a disservice by spreading myths. Cordially, Tom JD,

Even Fox news is a little too flimsy for my taste, and contribute to more party line bickering. It should be obvious that both parties are dead wrong leaving literally only a few individuals on capitol hill that are actually trust worthy and really have our best interest in mind. Ron Paul is an obvious part of this short list. If I had the monetary ability I would definitely invest in a different form of media that doens't just claim to be unbiased and will in fact shoot straight when it comes to Constitutionally protected rights.

I don't recall who mentioned it but they are mostly right. Todays society is too passive and lazy. But who is to blame? Ourselves for letting it happen, or the government for taking advantage of us? The one fact that I have come to openly speak, is that I will disolve any attempt made to disarm me, with great prejudice. I make no apologies for my opinion. I have spoken my beliefs. I have never broken the law and never will. I believe our Founding Fathers wrote the things they did with the intentions of making this the greatest country on the planet. Others are in fact evious. Those that don't agree with the American Way need to get the hell outta Dodge because I am sick and tired of all of the bleeding heart douchbags and their retorical outbreaks of sympathy. Do I fear the Government? No. Will I exercise my inherent rights? You damn right. No elected official has the right to walk on my liberties. I suspect we hesitate out of regards for being civil. But the numbered days are getting shorter. Patience is wearing thin and tempers are starting to flare. They call us Right Wing Extremists. I say thank you for that compliment. Because if it were not for people like us they would not be able to bitch and moan when lines are crossed. I'll end my comment by saying this. If anyone wants to try to relinquish me of my inherent rights, put up or shut up. I too am fed up with never ending debacle called American Government.

We are spied upon and we don't protest. We may be detained and tortured without charge and we don't protest. We are slaughtered in spectacles like 911 that defy basic laws of physics and we believe the lies rather than face the truth. We are sheep without the will to resist and they know it and will use it against us. When they pass the law requiring registration and safe storage and they come to inspect our homes, who will resist? No one. When they confiscate BAD guns from the list who will resist? No one. The net tightens and we hesitate. Searches at events, airports and public buildings are becoming common. Soon the airport fascism will spread throughout the society. Still we hesitate. We shall richly deserve our fate. Free men need weapons, true, but more they need the will to risk their lives to stay free. That we lack.

I woke up around 20 years ago when I was deployed for Operation Just Cause. We bombed the snot out of a, for the most part defensless nation killing thousands of civilians and who knows how many innocent members of their military and police force. They were also innocent as they had done nothing but signed up to protect their country. When I came home 6 months later I was told that the war lasted only a few days and had done very little damage. So we obviously have a complicit media that is also part of this cabal. Of course I could also point to tons of other illegal activities "our Government" has commited, but this one I can attest to personally. If you can find it watch the "Panama Deception" this film won many award worldwide for telling the truth about this massacre but was basically banned in the US. It's now online. After the initial invasion (taking out army barracs and police stations) one of my primary duties was kicking in doors and confiscating weapons while dragging off the "offenders" who hadn't turned them in. Of course setting up constantina wire roadblocks to enforce curfew was fun too. Anyone who panicked or refused to stop was taken out. Everyone who did stop was detained and handed over to MP's for further investigation. Welcome to Fascism this is how they would like to treat us as well. Never give up your guns folks, these people are truly evil. Peace! Justin, you are so right in that the government is run by criminals there is no doubt about it.
