While I do not always agree with the conspiracy theorists about big brother as some sentient apparatus who is intentionally taking our rights and liberties, I do agree that it is in the nature of big government to impinge on those rights and liberties by it's very nature. People have slept for so long under the blanket of lip service they have forgotten to be mindful farmers to their crop--the government. A good farmer understands that to produce the greatest yield he must prune and pare away the inefficient parts of his operation. We are the farmers and by edict of the US Constitution, the government is our crop (not the other way around). I say it is time to do some pruing and put this big unmanageable beast back in its pen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659800253801215924.post-71760689330433859452009-07-30T09:25:33.548-04:002009-07-30T09:25:33.548-04:00Mayor Blooming-idiot hats guns, hates gun rights, ...Mayor Blooming-idiot hats guns, hates gun rights, and wants a complete police state in New York City. <br /><br />In fact, I have an female engineer from New York,and when she found out I carried a gun, she called me ignorant. <br /><br />Yes I am the ignorant one for wanting to protect my self from criminals and not being a complete sheep by depending on the police to protect me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659800253801215924.post-80992575639527955492009-07-26T18:03:12.648-04:002009-07-26T18:03:12.648-04:00Glad you're back!Glad you're back!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096743545034524940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659800253801215924.post-6935366974533941802009-07-15T15:36:56.359-04:002009-07-15T15:36:56.359-04:00Heh - funny.

Thank you so much for stopping by and than...Peter, <br />Thank you so much for stopping by and thanks for your questions. Firstly your statement is correct American culture and the gun are tightly interwoven and we did get where we are today largely in part to having this gun culture.<br /><br />As for defending our rights against a tyrannical government we have already done it once from 1776-1783. The widespread ownership of firearms (at the time the rifled barrels of most minutemen were vastly more accurate than that carried by British regulars) helped to insure America's victory and thus independence from British rule.<br /><br />I do not understand why you don't see the gun as necessary for defending against an internal political struggle. How many Jew's and gypsies would have died in the holocaust had they been armed? What turn would history have taken had the people been able to rise up against the tyranny of Mao Zedong?<br /><br />True peace would be a much better alternative but unfortunately human nature does not always allow that to be the case. Gandhi once said one of the darkest things the British Empire did was disarm the Indian people.<br /><br />However, you are wrong in your assertion that firearms are meant to kill, they are not. They are only a tool. The intent of the person using the tool is what matters. There are also very rarely innocents killed or injured when firearms are used as a means of self defense. <br /><br />I hope that some of these answers have helped you out. If not please elaborate more and I will do my best to answer those questions you have.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />"Bill Hicks""Bill Hicks"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01572748453648004303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659800253801215924.post-58378348882388361762009-07-09T20:41:52.575-04:002009-07-09T20:41:52.575-04:00Hello Ginsburg?

I am not an American and I'm in no ...Dear Sir,<br /><br />I am not an American and I'm in no way criticising customs and culture, I am interested in understanding.<br /><br />I have read the history of bearing arms by your fellow citizens throughout your history and it's an important aspect of your development in history to arrive at where you are.<br /><br />I don't understand the link between owning arms and defending your rights against a tyrannical government. It sounds as if gun proponents have a belief that there is a need for preparedness for a revolution or probably more accurately, a counter revolution by arms.<br /><br />I find it stunning. That the gun would be the means of defending an internal political struggle. <br /><br />My perspective also is that firearms are intended to kill. Perceptions of self defense with firearms can easily kill another person. People make mistakes in their assessmnet of threat but once a firearm is included in the mixture it's surely a high likelihood that this will be used and if used it's quite likely that someone will be killed. Because of a mistake?<br /><br />As I said these are my questions and I know that some follow the anti gun lobbies lines. I don't belong to such groups but I really want to understand. I can see how many people believe their right to have arms so my reaction is missing their point.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659800253801215924.post-27224382405000113912009-07-07T09:14:39.887-04:002009-07-07T09:14:39.887-04:00Well, it's like Greenspan said, the Federal Re...Well, it's like Greenspan said, the Federal Reserve is private, therefore beyond all authority of Congress. <br /><br />If only, though, GM felt that way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096743545034524940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659800253801215924.post-70053261895982172002009-07-05T17:00:35.390-04:002009-07-05T17:00:35.390-04:00Yes, you can use any cylinder you wish.
