They didn't have to. They just waged guerrilla warfare and won. The oldest tacitic in the world.

Yes, they won. And we fell for it just like the USSR did.


America is there. The invasion was not turned back.

Is that your idea of victory? Is that the ideal you aspire to with your precious 2nd amendment? To hide in a cave for the rest of your life seems like defeat to me.

I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.
I fight them because they are fascists.

You call many, many billions of dollars spent victory? LOL

We die the death of a thousand cuts. That IS THEIR intent.

I suspect they should confiscate them from crazy people and hand them to teachers.

So give it time.

I suspect you would shoot yourself in the foot or head with it. Or worse--a student. Better off you just hide behind your students.

So you think there might be flaws in the idea of arming teachers?

Have a nice day.

LOL! We have firearm control laws. And have had for many years. Why don't you define what the hell you're talking about?!?

One would be if your caught in the act of a crime with a firearm the law comes down harder on you. What do you think about that? Grow up.

Another would be you cannot have a shotgun with a barrel less then 16 inches.

The above are EXAMPLES of law in respect to FIREARMS. Grow up.

YOU really don't have ANY idea what you're talking about do you? LOL!

Why don't we know who or what is dangerous?

Interesting, but hardly surprising considering the power of the gun lobby.

"The answers are undoubtedly complex and at this point, only partly known. For gun violence, particularly mass killings such as that in Newtown, to occur, intent and means must converge at a particular time and place. Decades of research have been devoted to understanding the factors that lead some people to commit violence against themselves or others. Substantially less has been done to understand how easy access to firearms mitigates or amplifies both the likelihood and consequences of these acts.

For example, background checks have an effect on inappropriate procurement of guns from licensed dealers, but private gun sales require no background check. Laws mandating a minimum age for gun ownership reduce gun fatalities, but firearms still pass easily from legal owners to juveniles and other legally proscribed individuals, such as felons or persons with mental illness. Because ready access to guns in the home increases, rather than reduces, a family's risk of homicide in the home, safe storage of guns might save lives.2 Nevertheless, many gun owners, including gun-owning parents, still keep at least one firearm loaded and readily available for self-defense.3"
