Don't these jackwagons ever get tired of wasting everyone's time penning these bankrupt pieces of propaganda?
If guns weren't central to the foundation and development of this country's history, there would not be a specific amendment in the Bill of Rights protecting our right to keep and bear them.

There most certainly WAS a "wild west," though it is also true many myths abound about it. Winchester, Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson and other gun makers provided valuable defense tools for those moving westward. In the 1800s those tools were firearms, in an earlier time they might have been swords or crossbows.
No imaginary "need" for them was concocted by the makers, people buying & using them created the demand.
The west was not "wild?"
Ask George Armstrong Custer...ask Chief Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull, I think you'D get a different story. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
