You live in cloud cuckoo land if you think guns in the hands of private unorganised Americans, can deter the US army and Airforce. Don't compare Americans to Muslims who welcome death. The Government limits the power of the firearms individuals can keep. They have you conned.
vegasbobby compare the US to the Western World for a better indication.
DAMNMAN the aim is to limit the amount of guns in the hands of postal workers, disgruntled teens, people who want to commit suicide and make one last statement. And of course, a driver who got into a road rage and had a gun handy. Plus the idiots who think they can do as they please, like the farmers in Oregon and the idiots in Waco. I could go on and on, but you will ignore it.
Even though Obama has said what it's about.
Robbie, because idiots can get hold of guns and kill people.
As you can read it has a very clear message.

It repeatedly says, "
A well-regulated militia". That's not anyone with enough money to buy one. If they had intended that, they would not have kept repeating the phrase. If it has been changed to "Anyone with the money" it shows how easily it can be changed.
As for "Hicks". That's no excuse for having no real checks at all. Yes, I've seen the form. I would love to see the moron who ticks the wrong box. You're against Government spending, so a good solution would be the gun buyer has to pay the police a fee to have them verify his ability to control, use, store and keep safe his firearms. This would go towards the cost of policing and relieve the taxpayer. Just like controls on brweing alcohol, driving a car, building a house, grazing right, etc.
The point of the thread is whether a Government in the hands of lobbyist, will allow it to be changed. Something which has flown over most people's heads.
