That is row after row of rifles in the background. All seized in Iraq, and now no doubt will be destroyed [V] It makes you wonder if we are now disarming the entire nation or just the violent extremists.

    anyone read the report back in like 06 or 07 that the dod cant account for like 130,000 m4 and ak47's that we gave the iraqi government ? On top of that they cant account for like 120,000 body armor and helmets as well.

    That's what it'll loook like here after the next general election. Both Obama and McCain are CFR boys and they'll disarm us for the NAU.

    Modern firearms companies like HK are big supporters of this too.

    I will try to find the article, but in order to qualify to buy a bunch of HK gear for their police forces, a certain eastern european country had to agree to destroy thousands of new, unsused, still in cosmoline Russian pistols, AKs and, for some reason, imported American 1911s.

    I guess when Bush was blabbing about "bringing freedom" to teh people of Iraq he forgot to mention that it was the UN/NWO/euro-pansy style "freedom"

    I saw the photos from Estonia, almost made me cry. I'd love to buy one of those SOVIET Makarovs and a SOVIET TT-33...but nooo those will get melted down and we have to settle for chicom copies [:(!]

    I'm not worried about the Chinese. I'm worried about Obama.

    They don't take very good care of them anyway. The 17th rifle in the 6th row has a scratch on it. Hey, LF: Did you sell them that one? [;)]

    Wait a minute. If our Constitution now grants habeas corpus to combatants captured on the battlefield, doesn't that also mean that we must now uphold the Second Amendment for everyone on the planet?

    I remember that line of logic - it's exactly the same you and your neokiddy buddies used to justify your support for the Patriot Act, increased government powers, warrantless wiretaps, and increased police surveillance...

    Besides, I thought the war was over... remember "Mission Accomplished" and "major combat operations are over"?[}:)]

    Well, you're not alone in your "head in the sand" stupidity. The "surrender wing" of the supreme court recently ruled like we weren't at war in their recent habeas decision, against all logic, precedent, history, and common sense (many of which are your failings as well.)

    And just because me and my "neokiddy buddies" have been using this argument all along doesn't make it any less true, valid, or worthwhile.

    that's a possible "logical" outcome of the recent decision by the BrainDeads, and one of the best reasons to oppose the ruling.
