@rockybutte: #46
I read the link you supplied. I thought this statement was interesting:

Switzerland was at risk of being invaded by Germany during World War II but was spared, historians say, because every Swiss man was armed and trained to shoot.

You said that military ammo can’t be stored at a soldier’s home:

The authorities made one concession, though: since 2008, all military — but not private — ammunition must be stored in central arsenals rather than in soldiers’ homes.

It doesn’t restrict the soldier having private guns and private ammo in their homes, so they can still be well armed.

If you look back at the countries that are now some kind of dictatorship; one of the first things done to accomplish this, was to take the citizen’s guns away so they couldn’t defend themselves against THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. The best way to defeat a country is from the inside, and guns are one of the first things those who want to overthrow a country go after.

When a country’s leaders don’t want private citizens to have guns, be very suspicious of the leaders intentions, and ask yourself, “Why don’t they want me to have a gun?”

They are not a nation of loner cowboys and desperadoes resistant to the restraining forces of the general good.

They are resistant to the retraining forces of the people who want to take over their country, and they are armed, trained, and ready to defend themselves if needed. For them, the, “general good” is keeping their country from being taken over.

Dude, as you spew hate v Obama and Holder et al, to follow your reasoning, you’re actually encouraging deranged right-wingers to take potshots at them or at their surrogates. Right? Or, in this land of personal responsibility, you’re taking no responsibility for your raging polemics.

There is a tremendous difference between emotion incited by the truth and that incited by lies INTEDED to incite. See, it is a factual truth that Sharpton has been very busy inciting riots based on lies and Obama, Holder and DeBlasio have been supporting these efforts by legitimizing the reasons. Further, all these people have armed security details; Lui, Ramos didn’t.

What Obama, Holder and DeBlasio, as those elected to maintain law and order, should be doing is counseling restraint and promising to delve into the underlying problems for an acceptable resolution, but they can’t do that, can they? They can’t because, in the end, just like Holder’s multiple “civil rights” investigations into Ferguson, Zimmerman and all across the nation, there is no problem to be found and solved; blacks are not being killed by police because they are black. They are being killed because they are attacking and resisting police, committing violent crimes and threatening society. Obama, Holder and DeBlasio can’t solve that problem. They ARE the problem.

Have you an answer to the fact that over 60 million new guns have been sold, yet crime continues to be reduced?

2013 Gun ownership, up, up, up (63,000,000), violent crime, down, down, down.

The answer, rb, is responsible people, not disarmed people. Disarmed people hasn’t worked in Detroit, Chicago or DC and it won’t work anywhere else. If it weren’t for left wing rabble rousers, Lui and Ramos would still be alive, not because of guns.

@rockybutte: RockyB, that story left out this valuable information:
Switzerland: German 65%, French 18%, Italian 10%, Romansch 1%, other 6%

United States of America: White: 211,460,626 (75.1%); Black: 34,658,190 (12.3%); Asian: 10,242,998 (3.6%); American Indian and Alaska Native: 2,475,956 (0.9%); Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander: 398,835 (0.1%); other race: 15,359,073 (5.5%); Hispanic origin:1 35,305,818 (12.5%)

I think the makeup of the population is probably the largest reason for the stats you are talking about.

@rockybutte:

you’re actually encouraging deranged right-wingers to take potshots at them or at their surrogates.

Give us some statistics about how many deranged right-wingers have taken pot shots at anyone. You must really be in pain.
