Message | in a nuclear attack what are you going to be firing your arms at, the air? armed violence occurs when people own arms. |

Message | The whole point of a nuclear attack is to pave the way for an INVASION of our country. Our people should not be denied the means to protect themselves from communist troops. The Soviet Union raped and pillaged Germany, Poland and Eastern Europe and the same would happen to us. If people want to kill their ex-lover or domestic enemies, they will use knives instead. A ban solves nothing. |

Message | I totally agree with the SoS. People can commit murder and rape without a firearm, so the ban doesn't work anyway. But allowing arms will be both a defensive measure and give people a sense of freedom. |
