    it was never intended that we win. It was never part of the plan. when I left (at the end) we barely made it out of there with our collective asses.

    Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

    Two or three for me, one or two for my wife, a few more for the (grown) kids, neighbors, etc.

    Oh crap, I gotta go shopping for more guns and ammo.

    I have no problem with the sale of guns to those who intend harm, so long as you are not aware of this intent.

    ie: you don't have to take measures to prevent those who conceal their malicious intent from buying your guns.

    Meh. If they want to play their war games then fine. They'll just get themselves blown to pieces by the great American military that the Republicans built.

    America is a free country. But it's also a Republic governed by rule of law. Some people think that a parking ticket is tyranny and are willing to start a bloody revolution over it.

    without background checks, you might be selling a gun to an escaped murderer/child molester/rapist...or a guy wanted for murder/rape/child molestation.

    you comfortable taking that chance? i sure aint.

    You're the only one fantasizing about a civil war. I just want to keep my family safe. I've served in the military and my son is serving right now. They would have as little thirst for a civil war as the public.

    Well, you're going to need your gun to defend America against tyranny. After all, I don't want to pay more taxes. Thanks for the support!

    I would never, EVER, sell a gun to someone without doing a background check.

    the last thing I need resting on my soul is finding out I sold a gun to an escaped convict who went on to kill someone.

    Sounds eerily like voting and ballot boxes. 1/3 of valid voters showed up 2 weeks ago. They don't even vote and you want them to be the "last line of defense".

    The view I support is very democratic, that's one way of looking at it.
