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. |
