Food for thought: To Kyle Cassidy and anybody else so ignorant to ignore the lessons of history in answer to the question of why the 2'nd amendment and the RIGHT of every law-abiding human to OWN ANY weapon including those in common issue to an individual soldier. Ponder the following:
1. WHAT COUNTRY HAS in recent times (something like the last 200+ years) has *NEVER* been invaded much less conquered despite being surrounded by agressors and occupied/conquered countries?

2. WHO is famous/infamous for the following QUOTE:
"This year will go down in history. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Out streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future" ?

Any ideas:

1. Switzerland. A country where EVERY male age 18 to 45 or so IS REQUIRED to be a member of the Military and EVERY household stores the FULL OPERATIONAL KIT, including ammunition and firearm of the current Swiss Army.

2. Adoph Hitler, in 1935.... And we all know just HOW EFFECTIVE his gun control was in terms of a key enabler to the slaughter of more than 9 million or more people.

In all of history. banning ownership, whisky (prohibition), etc only may criminals out of the majority of otherwise law-abiding citizens and VERY RICH criminals. Or as we saw in 1935, a despot who came damn near to accomplishing his very public goals.. All but for luck and a couple of key mistakes, we may very well all be speaking German.
