No Danyelle don't do it! It was terrible, an insult to the first two. They even replaced Evy's original actress.

I think the day of convicts being sent to Australia is long gone. They go now because England is so expensive to live in plus the weather is so much warmer !

Rais confirmed troll.. his post had nothing to do with gun culture!

Well i have always wondered whether it was just me, or whether it really was that bad. Give it a shot yourself and let me know what you thought [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Come on kids, honestly, most of you are fucking geeks who spend twelve or more hours a day sitting at your computer. No one's ever going to threaten you nor are you ever going to need to defend yourself, because you're not a target in your mom's basement.

The argument that we need an armed populace to dissuade our government from becoming corrupt is pretty ridiculous to anyone over the age of twelve. It held water 250 years ago when everybody had muskets and cannons, but today the government has drones and bombs and shit. You can't compete with them if they decide they want to do whatever bad things you fantasize about them doing to you. We don't need the second amendment any more, it's just that we are so inundated with firearms that they are in inextricable part of American life. And Americans are scientifically proven to have tiny dicks. Numbers don't lie dudes.

Personally, I carried a gun as a teenager from time to time because it was the nineties and it was thug life ***** so we all strapped. The only times I was ever a victim of gun violence(shot at a few times, held hostage for a few hours) I was armed. Since becoming an adult I have never carried a gun. I've owned several houses, a farm, and numerous cars and none of them has ever been taken from me at gunpoint. No one's ever tried, even. My anecdotal evidence would thus suggest you are more likely to be involved in a gun-related altercation if you are yourself armed. Derp.

If you were referring to my comment about a corrupt government, I said the right exists to overthrow a corrupt government; not to dissuade one from forming. If you're saying we couldn't compete with the military, I disagree. There are over 300,000,000 U.S. citizens. If actions such as this were being contemplated, I believe it would be a dissuading factor though.

Quote:
According to the US Department of Defense Website (as on October 6, 2007) . . .

". . . over 1.3 million men and women on active duty, and 669,281 civilian personnel, we are the nation's largest employer. Another 1.1 million serve in the National Guard and Reserve forces. About 2 million military retirees and their family members receive benefits."
With that being said, if the U.S. government were to attack its own citizens by military means (which I don't think they would), the National Guard and Reserve should not be ignored. With the combined forces of national protectors, civilians, and everyone in the active military who would disobey orders to kill fellow Americans, I think we have a great chance of not being overtaken. If no one in the United States could legally own a firearm, I wouldn't be as confident. This is discounting weapons of mass destruction, of course. Nuking anything is usually gg.
