        A patient refuses to have medicine just because the pill is bitter - that’s the attitude American people have towards Gun Control.

        We need guns to overthrow our government? Odd argument, seeing our govt has the military at its disposal & the militias are fat, old & nuts.

        True! In 1776, Britain had the strongest military on land & sea and was wealthiest & most powerful nation. We fought them twice & won with limited military resources.

        Exactly..& the rest of the world would not see so much suffering if peeps would fight for their own freedom instead of running from it.. Tyrants are just bullies who have been given/ allowed power by the citizens ..

        Interesting: Russia, 50,000,000+ dead over communism China: Tiananmen Square and millions over communism. Not even with all the wars, murders, Indian wars and accidents here in country would we reach the two countries numbers.

        As long as there is greed no form of government can become pure. Evil will always be with us and I rather be able to defend myself than wait to be the next victim. The man next door with a gun defending is the next best thing.

        Actually, it's ridiculous to suggest that we even know that with any certainty (42% of world's guns). Ever been to DR Congo, Guatemala, or Sri Lanka? You have no idea how many guns there are in any of them. Neither does anyone else.
