Every Home in Iraq Has an AK-47
according to a report just on CNN. No strong central government, no regulations, everyone gets a gun, feminists and gays murdered int he streets...sounds like a conservative wet dream! No wonder they think the media isn't reporting all the good stuff!!

4. And when the military is marching down your street, what will you have?
I suspect that this could provoke an argument over the "true" meaning of the Second Amendment, but our Constitution gives us the right to keep and bear arms.

While having an AK-47 seems like cold comfort when your opponent has tanks, the Iraqi insurgency has shown the world that simple weapons can be effective.

12. My choice would be LESS or NO guns
But if there is an army marching down my street I would like to have SEVERAL guns to protect my family. Soldiers respect firepower.

I wish the world worked another way, but....

:cry:

5. America should follow suit then we can all be as safe as Iraqis are..
Isn't that what the NRA is suggesting. that if all homes had firearms we wouldn't need the police because the criminals would be too afraid to commit any crimes...Iraq is a great example of how full of BS the gun nuts truly are...

6. aHA! This is proof
That RUSSIA is behind the insurgency!!! We MUST attack Russia before Russia attacks us here at home! We can prove that some of the serial numbers on some of the weapons used by some of the insurgents are Russian in origin! Are we going to just sit around and wait for Russia to attack the U.S.? We must go in NOW! It is better to fight Russia over there than fight Russia over here!

10. Religious teachings.........
in the Quran require that Muslims be armed to defend Islam. The Sikhs, not Muslims, have a similar belief system. In the US, Native Americans subscribe to a similar belief, but not as rigorously. Taking away the household weapon would be a religious and cultural afront. It is worse than drawing cartoons of Mohammed (and we know where that went).

Here in the US, it is a "right", but 80% of the American population does not actively exercise that "right".
