    | Comparing us to the Swiss, or Germans, or French, or Canadians, or Brits is like comparing protein to carbohydrates. 
 Yes, they are both foods, but that's where the similarity ends.
 
 I really wish 'good-intentioned' people would quit this ridiculous exercise.
 
 We are not anyone else - we are AMERICANS.

    | Once each year our government should provide us with free ammo to train with and remain proficient with our weapons.  Oh yea, can I have an m-16 that I used while in the military. (would really rather have my M-14, but I don't believe they would let me have either).  I would lock them up in one of my gun safes. |

                      | Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.  — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |  |  |
