A Russian warns, "Americans never give up your guns"
December 31, 2012 at 9:02 am
Quote:Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from maniacs and crime, but are in reality, it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position....Do not be fooled by a belief that progressives, leftists hate guns. Oh, no, they do not. What they hate is guns in the hands of those who are not marching in lock step of their ideology. They hate guns in the hands of those who think for themselves and do not obey without question.

We're taking advice from Russians now?

There really isn't much difference between an old-style commie and the fascist American right. Both insist on toeing the party line.

Having no guns works pretty well here in the UK. Although I don't think that's an option at this point for the US, too many guns and gun loving.

Interesting.
The Soviets did such a good job of disarming the populace but they still overthrew the tyrants. Are we saying they could do it, but we couldn't?

Russia alows citizens to own weapons which they find nececery for their "self defence".
But what is nececery for "self defence"? And what do you need to defend yourself from tigers, bears and bandits in the deepest outskirts of sibiria.
And what do you need for self defence in criminaly unstable Moscow districts and the politicaly unstable kaukasus?
This question is answered diferently in every single part of Russia.
In certain regions of Russia people own full automatic assault rifles.
I once met a Russian from Omsk who told me that "In every Russian farm, theres a Russian kalashnikov."
Russian laws on the ownership of firearms can be compared to the American laws, to a certain extent.
Meaning that the psychological tests are required, but once one has the licence one can own firearms which would be illegal for ownership in the US.

So, seeking support from the official mouthpiece of what remains of the communist party of the former Soviet Union, are we?
I expected no less stupidity from a rightwing nutcase who professed himself to be of a creed that seeks enlightenment through screaming incoherently.

Here's a public service for the gun nuts to piss and moan about.
From Slate.com.... a graphic depiction of the gun deaths SINCE Sandy Hook.
The number? 321 and climbing. And this does not include suicides or murders which are so insignificant that they don't make it to the press at all.
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_p...oting.html
Apparently they update it every day.
Quote:Of course, this data is incomplete. Not all reports get caught by @GunDeaths’ news alerts or his followers. Suicides, which are estimated to make up as much as 60 percent of gun deaths, typically go unreported. Nevertheless, we at Slate want to assemble this data as best we can.
