Hi.. I have been lurking this forum for some time and have decided to make my first post. I hope it lives up to my past history (elsewhere I have been accused of being an entertainment anarchist (I like to start a ruckus just for the fun of it)).
All of the victim disarmnament advocates and their dupes in the media claim that the American model of control of private ownership of guns is inherantly flawed and we HAVE TO DO SOMETHING about it(for our children bla bla bla). They immediately point to the Japanese or British models (ie take them away from everyone) as good examples. Well, even if I agreed with the premise (our model is flawed), I can NOT agree with following these examples. For crying out loud, we fought wars against both these countries (come to think of it, aren't most of our current gun control laws like the GCA of 68 based on the German laws passed by the Nazi's... Didn't we fight a couple wars against them??? hhmm)
Anyway, my suggestions is we pick a different country to use as our Gun Control Model, one that is proven effective and someone we haven't fought against, the Swiss. That's right, I propose we institute universal manditory militia membership for ALL citizens including initial bootcamp style training , annual testing and retraining, and MANDITORY gun possession in every members home. And since we are a progressive nation, I mean men and women, no exception, no excuses. I originally felt that those unwilling to bear arms in our country's defense who refused for whatever reason should be deported, but have been swayed to some leniency and would accept allowing poeple to refuse but only if they:
A) are ineligble to hold any elected/ appointed public office or work for government including teachers
B) are inelible to vote
C) are REQUIRED to wear DayGlo Pink jumpsuits anytime they appear in public
I know some might think this harsh but we HAVE TO DO SOMETHING to solve the GUN PROBLEM and would you want someone unwilling to defend our nation as President or teaching your children?

If they come for my guns and I stand up and fight...What about my kids???
if I don't fight...What about my kids???
