"As most people know, most countries around the world ban gun sales and ownership." So? Because a bunch of idiots tell you to do something, that means you should do it? We are the exception, not the rule. Damn straight skippy. Why shouldn't we Americans be the exception, and damn proud to be it?

sorry but you are too shallow to see the point of this thread. The point of this thread is that a couple of dictatorships are(again) attacking gun ownership. You are just to stupid to understand that outlawing gun ownership- A) In NO way lowers crime; and B) Has ALWAYS been a pretext for a police state. The fact that you progs are too stupid to admit and deal with that reality is the problem.

Venezuela and China are ahead of the US on these kinds of issues. Ahead of us? Only in the small mind of a stupid traitor like you Aura, is communism "ahead".

Venezuela bans private gun ownership. I'd bet a years pay that ban doesn't, and never will apply, to Chavez and his cronies.

"Derek Hunter is now rising to the top of my hate list." I'm sure Derek Hunter will relieved to hear that. :-)

"--not that I needed proof --" Since when have you progs ever needed proof for anything you claim? Your arrogance is only outweighed by your stupidity.

Roy: If you think we Conservatives are any less tolerant of oppressive state (or local) government than we are of an oppressive national government then you are beyond hope. If a state government is oppressive(California or Illinois), then people can "vote with their feet"and move to another state(as is already happening). But if the federal government is oppressive then what options are left? Move or let the feds screw us over.

"He believes that we have to end our reliance and dependence on fossil fuels as a solution to climate change." Chu is dumb if he believes in the fraud of man-made climate change. I think our addiction to Middle Eastern oil has, is and will continue to be bad for America in the long run and the sooner we find an alternative energy source the better. How about that we use our own energy resources, and tell Obama and the enviromarxists to go to hell instead.

Five minutes here and I'm already bored. Bye. I hope you stay bored, and stay out of here.

Obama should have been a preacher. Obama is a preacher. His religion is statism.
