Blader, I spent 12 years in Germany, in various tank Battalions, waiting for the Soviets to attack, just to save your ass in the low countries/western europe(both my kids were born on the Rhine)...I went with thousands of my fellow soldiers to Vietnam to take on the commies, to run over them with our tanks and Acavs, shooting their stinking asses, to try and save the South Vietnamese from the skanks in the north...

Now, fanatical muslims have attacked the U.S., REMEMBER!...we lost 3,000 folks in one day!!!..These fanatics are our new enemy, we didn't want this!...........You say we here are so narrow minded & too focused on the gun issue....Well, it just seems that our political leaders who have no qualms about gun ownership, and are pro-gun, also are strong leaders, who focus on a strong defence....
Right now we have a democratic primary going on...all these pukes running are for a 'cut & run' policy, sorta-like what you europeons are for in the middle east, to coincide with a 'sitting duck' policy too. ....All of them, are for big restrictions in gun-ownership in America, and are opposite of what the guys above me have expoused, with great skill, as to what gun-ownership means to us, as Americans................
While you non-gun owning mambie-pambie europeons sit scared with your fingers up where the sun don't shine, we Americans led by what you call a 'Cowboy', are fighting an enemy in the middle-east, that knows no reasoning, wants no compromise, and wants you and us dead at all costs.........I introduce an American gun-owner, while battling these fanatical muslims for us and you gutless europeons, was KIA on 30Jul03, northeast of Bagdad, Lt.Leif E.Nott,xo of Atrp, 1/10th Cav, 4th ID, he is my son-in-law,on right,.....no cut & run now......How about you non-gun owning Europeons lending a hand...........................jw
