  1. Yep. Moral and cultural rot is the root cause. I don't necessarily think it's the porn and violent video games, but instead, it's the destruction of spirituality. I believe that when spirituality is removed and materialism is all that's left, people begin to feel there is nothing greater, there is no larger purpose. This, in turn, creates hopelessness and causes nihilism. When you become hopeless and nihilistic, that is when the porn and violent games begin to affect you, because you lack the core value system and the spirituality to keep you grounded. I've watched porn, I've played violent video games, I've watched violent movies, but the strong set of values instilled in me, and my belief in a greater purpose, protects me from being negatively influenced...I'm able to see those things for what they are. I hope what I said makes sense. It was difficult trying to put it into words today (very tired).

  2. Automatic weapons are not banned in the US. You can buy pre-ban automatic weapons (I have two). And you can even buy new automatic rifles with a certain class of FFL (federal firearms license).

  3. I don't agree. They may try to force us to surrender our weapons...some will, and some won't. The ones that won't will resist confiscation, build militias, and it will spark a war. We must never permit the government to confiscate our firearms.

  4. "To defend against the government" is BS? What gives you that idea? I think you may want to research some history as to what tyrants usually do when guns are confiscated from the people. I suggest a book called "Political Ponerology" by Professor Lobaczewski (you can download a free PDF of this book).

  5.  @relo999  No problem. Whomever told you that is mistaken. Pre 1986 autos can be purchased, but they are usually extremely expensive and you have to file a 12 page application to register it and pay a $200 tax.

  6.  @relo999  I would agree with your perspective only if nefarious global interests were not a factor. Whatever political system is used, many people who hold positions of political power are vulnerable to influence and will betray the people for their own benefit. I don't purport to be an expert on parliamentary systems, far from it, but Canada and Australia use parliamentary systems, and the acts of police state authoritarianism I've seen recently from those two countries were beyond egregious.

  7. To the people who keep commenting that we the people cannot resist a tyrannical federal government with our basic firearms, you're flat out wrong. Either you don't understand the dynamics and nuances of war, or you are a shill for the government trying to persuade people that surrendering our firearms is no big deal since we couldn't fight back anyway. The government can have its missiles, bombs, planes, etc, but what percentage of the military will actually kill their own friends and family if ordered to do so? When the people shutdown the electricity to military bases, stop delivering food, turn off the water, blockade fuel deliveries, etc, what will the military do? Remember, Vietnam defeated the US, and Afghanistan defeated Russia. It's also likely the military would break into factions, some supporting tyranny, and some supporting the people; we the people would have at least some of that advanced equipment and munitions fighting on our behalf. In conclusion, yes, defeating the US military with basic firearms would be very difficult, but not impossible when considering the many factors specific to a domestic war.
