Why do we let manufacturers flood the market with cheap weapons?
DECATUR, Ga. -- A 4-year-old boy who was struck by a stray bullet
while at church died Friday.
doesn't matter. the american people dont care how many kids get
killed. the NRA has the american people convinced that that only their
.25 automatics can stop an M1A2 abrams main battle tank if the govt
decides to take over.
I know you are talking foolishness, but still it would beat using
bricks like when the USSR invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968. After the
Czech's had been disarmed, that is all they had left.

Watching *you* face down a Sov T-55 main battle tank with your choice of
light arms would be a pay TV event I'd pay up to $2.00 American to
watch. Maybe your seeeeeeester could sue the tank, eh?

Armed American civilians on the far right might think they have what it
takes to be effective guerrilla fighters and take on temporarily a
modern, well-equipped army, but that's just a wet dream perpetrated by
watching Red Dawn too many times.


"Herr Krause. I can understand why you would make such an idiotic
comment for chances are, you probably never had any relatives held
behind the communist bloc. And no, Kerr Krause. There was no mention
of supposedly "small arms" facing off with a Soviet tank. Please re-
read.



You think the Russkis backed up their troops with sappers on horseback?
The point it, s.f.b., a bunch of our yokels with small arms are not
going to be able to hold off anyone's modern military force.

BTW, I know you are dense, but your constant use of the word "Herr" only
makes you look dumber than you are. The relatives of mine who came to
this country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were almost
entirely Russian. Just two of those relatives were not Russian. One came
from a part of Europe - Bohemia in the Sudentenland - whose national
identity seemingly changed every couple of years because of treaties,
wars, mini-invasions, et cetera. The other was Polish.

My father's father was born in some dip**** town between Moscow and St.
Petersburg. He *walked* to Bremen, in Germany, where he got passage to
the United States. He landed at Ellis Island. I have a copy of the
ship's manifest somewhere, with his name and nationality on it. Krause
wasn't even his name. He landed here with a boatload of German
immigrants, and was "renamed" at Ellis Island because, he said, his
Russian name was too hard to pronounce. I have papers that show his
original family name.

Maybe your seeeeeester, the lawyer, can help you with this.
