Again, what we see here is that you really want to disarm everyone. After all, as long as there are guns around, someone might use one.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-82549678873000597382014-04-12T17:34:21.640+02:002014-04-12T17:34:21.640+02:00Really?

Death isn't a "gotcha" game. Suicides are a problem in the military, or maybe you haven't been paying attention. Why don't you put your obsessive advocate personality to work saving innocent lives instead of promoting something that is a right without a chance of being taken out of the law? Why do you promote death instead of promoting life?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-39850109830242750612014-04-11T07:54:22.724+02:002014-04-11T07:54:22.724+02:00My recollection is that during my first active dut...My recollection is that during my first active duty enlistment, privately owned firearms had to be kept in the arms room if you lived in the barracks. <br /><br />"Pro-gun fanatics are screaming in unison for guns on military bases because of the extremely rare mass shootings."<br /><br /> So, when the statistically rare mass shooting occurs out in civilian land, why is it adequate reason to enact an assault weapon ban? Yet the same rarity is used as an argument against arming soldiers? <br /> When someone raises his hand and takes the oath, he is signing on for the surrender of many basic rights, your life really isn't your own. However, suggesting that the same soldiers that can presumably be trusted in a foreign land with automatic weapons and explosives, yet somehow become untrustworthy when in a less stressful environment, seems quite contradictory.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-50923679727410332172014-04-11T07:50:57.521+02:002014-04-11T07:50:57.521+02:00There should be regular mental checkup of the sold...There should be regular mental checkup of the soldier to avoid any type accident by soldiers.

But, of course, you left mass shootings, since you've yet to give a satisfactory answer to why it's best to disarm potential targets.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
