A friend of mine sent me an article today titled "Send a Gun to Defend a British Home" which can be found here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/650257/posts
During World War II, the British being a disarmed people were facing an invasion with nothing to defend themselves with. America was asked to send "anything that shoots" to help defend Britain and its people. The NRA apparently collected over 7,000 firearms to send, including Springfields, Enfields and Mausers.
So I'm curious -- how many of you, if given a similar opportunity today, would send any of your arms overseas? If you believe in armed self defense as a fundamental right and the value of an armed citizenship, it seems to make sense to me.
Although at first I thought I would consider sending an AR 15 of mine, I'm thinking I may instead send something like my Mosin in a similar situation. If it were to happen again, I would imagine lots of Mosins, SKS, shotguns, old hunting rifles etc. going their way.
Not that I'm sure that something like that would even be feasible again under international law, but if a similar request were to come from one of America's allies today, would you send or fund any arms to send to them?
