Try racking up the body count armed with a few knives?.<br /><br />Guns kill people so if their is less guns available then less people will die senselessly thats a fact you simply cannot ignore but many of you advocates do just to get another little dig at the liberal left you so despise, to agree with anything the left suggests would be a huge sign of weakness even if they were talking sense.<br /><br />I don't call myself either left or right, I would have extreme right wing views on Muslim immigration or whats deemed as left wing views on gun control, why do people have to be totally right wing and totally left wing when both sides have views that make perfect sense but no quarter is given we're sure as hell not going to ever agree with some right wing nut job or some left wing loony?.<br /><br />Patrick.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-63576283546083686922013-09-26T05:01:30.714-04:002013-09-26T05:01:30.714-04:00Bloody hell I've never heard so many spurious ...Bloody hell I've never heard so many spurious arguments to defend your right to bare arms, even the 2nd World War is brought into it, what the heck has that got to do with gun control in this day and age??.<br /><br />So if the gun advocates had their way they'll send all our kids to school armed with a pistol just in case some lonely teenager wants notoriety and decides to shoot up his school after raiding his fathers gun chest?. <br /><br />He only gets a few shots off before one of the pupils take him out so the death toll is minimal, so that would be a victory of sorts?.<br /><br />But what happens when a pupil is chastised by a teacher and out of a fit of rage pulls out his legally owned pistol and blows the teacher away, or two gangs of boys get into a fight in the school yard and instead of the usual fisticuffs they all pull out their legally owned pistols and started spraying bullets every where?, bloody bodies strewn all over the school yard when the shooting stops, the same scenario could happen in the workplace as some disgruntled employee blows his boss away for daring to tick him off for been constantly tardy for work.<br /><br />Yes all hypothetical I know and nobody is really advocating arming our students going to school or our our postal workers etc going to their place of employment, or are they?<br /><br />Patrick<br /><br />. cont......<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-79869982344028426622013-09-25T13:03:15.604-04:002013-09-25T13:03:15.604-04:00Numbers alone are not the issue.

Even disrupting a occupying force takes more effort than discouraging one. A suffieciently armed populance is an incredible discouragement to invasion.<br /><br />As an example, in the fall of 1939 the Soviets had 3 times the soldiers available as Finland did. They invaded Finland with 240,000 troops. Finland, defended with 130,000 men. The Soviets continued to pour men into the war for its duration. The result? Finnish losses ~26K dead, 43K wounded. Soviet losses vary be sources and research into records, but are setimated at ~64K dead and 207K wounded. Remember, the Soviets had overwhelming advantage in numbers and weapons. The finnish were hampered by logistics and ammunition shortages, but had better cold weather equipment.<br /><br />From that example, I have to assume that the Nazis, if they found themselves facing a resistance numbering somewhere between equal to and double thier entire military, would have either chosen not to invade Poland* or would have withdrawn after a bloody war that would have stopped there. <br /><br />*I am using numbers as if 1/4 to 1/3 of Polands households had had then modern military rifles and the training to use them. Poland had a population of 35 million and I'm estimating around 7 million "households" total. Germany had a military of about 1.5 million total men at that time. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-69176227588765358592013-09-25T12:37:39.057-04:002013-09-25T12:37:39.057-04:00The German Army was quite effective at rolling ove...The German Army was quite effective at rolling over large forces.<br /><br />The key ingredient would have been an organized opposition and resistance. <br /><br />Weapons alone aren't enough.<br /><br />The way that the people in a country like the US would have responded to an invasion is not the same as the outcomes elsewhereDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-15044712157149158412013-09-25T12:28:06.114-04:002013-09-25T12:28:06.114-04:00I wonder, how would history have been different if...I wonder, how would history have been different if, after WWII, France & Poland had saw fit to allow and even encourage every citizen to own and compete with (then) modern rifles? Something akin to our NRA and High Power matches of the time. Even assuming that not everyone participated, what would have happened had 1 out of every 3 houses in Poland in 1939 had possesed a Mauser, Enfield, Springfield or Garand? That would have been around 2.3 million rifles in trained hands.<br /><br />I will hazard a guess that Germany would have never attempted an invasion. Germany, at the time of the invasion of poland, only had 1.5 million men available in its military. I doubt even Hitler would have been insane enough to try those odds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-86123761615413015952013-09-25T12:09:12.392-04:002013-09-25T12:09:12.392-04:00Prudence ... will dictate that Governments long es...Prudence ... will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

To say nothing of police states, Communist and Socialist governments run amok, lower living standards, and oh, yes the odd major internal civil war running across the continent. Gun control is a no brainer right up to the time when the looneys get control and the thugs with guns get out of control. What bothers me the most here in the US is that the people who most advocate gun control are the same kind of loonies who want control over every aspect of our lives and in the past, have needed camps, barbed wire and gas chambers to inflict their will on the citizenry.

We were brave and noble and perished in droves largely because we were poorly organized, were infested with informers and because our other overlord, the Catholic Church, frequently undermined us. We stole guns where we could from the Crown and stockpiled them and the French, Spanish and Germans chipped in when it suited their foreign projects. Even our last rebellion, the 1916 Easter Rebellion failed and the Brits executed the signatories to our Declaration of Independence (modeled on the American Declaration).<br /><br />The 1916 leaders were school teachers and poets and family men. The Brits showed no mercy, primarily because they were afraid of the very things Daniel alludes to, organized insurrection in multiple geographies. They were short of manpower due to the horrible attrition of WW1 trench warfare and they were petrified of an armed population just off their vulnerable west coast. Two of England’s only three deep water ports were located in Derry and Belfast in Ireland. The Germans knew this and unloaded rifles and machine guns from U-Boats to bolster the rebels meagre weapons supplies.<br /><br />The 1916 leaders knew they were doomed but they also knew that America’s involvement in Europe was desperately needed by the English and there was a huge Irish voting bloc in the US demanding Irish freedom and ultimately it was American pressure that forced Britain to come to the negotiating table where Winston Churchill and Lloyd George faced Michael Collins. The history of Irish Independence and the IRA and British treachery is stuff for another occasion. One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

He changed what he wanted to be called after he went to Pakistan for a three-week stay."<br /><br />Obama's pathology, in my opinion, stems from his growing up fatherless, the same as the 70,000 gang members of his old senatorial district, Chicago.

Even as the ink was drying on the new Constitution, ambitious politicians were plotting to acquire power and control. The day will come when we will be called on to finish the job, once and for all." Unfortunately due to human nature, the job is never finished. If the Republic survives (which I am highly skeptical about today), the lesson learned would be that the wolf is ALWAYS at the door and must be guarded against. How liberals/communists have been able to insinuate themselves into every aspect of America and like termites and tear it down from within has been like Satan convincing mankind that he does not exist. Just as everyone is willing to recognize and fight cancer as a threat to life, the liberal/socialist/communist ideology must become equivalent to "cancer" and be fought viciously at every turn. There is no room for allowing it a foothold in any society that has any hope of remaining free. Hence, a free society needs to be willing to identify and perform surgery when clear evidence of the cancer's work is found. The definition of "free" society does not mean "live and let live" not when it comes to cancer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-30178634475267012612013-09-23T11:42:45.877-04:002013-09-23T11:42:45.877-04:00All of the issues you write about Daniel are issue...All of the issues you write about Daniel are issues related to the failure of man to recognize he is a sinner in need of God. <br /><br />ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-19229438761314157592013-09-23T07:36:40.317-04:002013-09-23T07:36:40.317-04:00Wow!
