I want to share with you a song from a nation whose people are dedicated and working together to eliminate decadence and building a prosperous future.
Ah North Korean, wonderful. Funny that you put "death to tyrants" in your sig, you encourage the killing of yourself as leader.
Back on topic:
Do you want the situation in pakistan replicated in the US?
I would lov to own automatics... but not at the cost of freedom.
Actualy the situation in Pakistan is the reason the 2nd exists in America. Those people resisted a tyranical government which due to foriegn influance and demands is attempting to crush them.
They have resisted successfuly as a poor place with little industry against a mighty centralized government with factories and a decent military. Successfuly enough to cause the government to back off and call for a cease fire for a time.
It is a shame one of those foriegn influances is America, for I love America.
Put it into perspective.
Imagine the same thing happened here.
Imagine the U.N. and other nations pressured the United States government to crack down on those who believe they have the right to resist tyranny, and support "small arms proliferation" (gun nuts.)
Imagine the United States government gave into such pressure and had sweeping reforms and went after such people. Wouldn't you want the opposition to successfuly achieve enough of a stalemate to cause the government to pause and reconsider?
That would only happen if the government met strong opposition which inflicted high casualties on the agents tasked with implementing such legislation as well as the people creating it, or brought the economy to its knees, lowering the quality of life dramaticly, which would also lower the income from taxes the government was recieving and operating on.
Those people in the video in Pakistan are loyal to a fault to anyone that gains thier respect. If an outsider then demands they betray someone who has treated them with equal respect, even with the threat of death and destruction behind it, they will stand for honor even at no personal gain and facing heavy loss.
To them it is a matter of integrity, not gain or loss.
Because they border Afghanistan, currently that is bringing them into conflict with the American military, and UN forces because Taliban flee into thier region.
The people labeled pathan on that map are those people.
What they are using those arms for is exactly why the 2nd exists in America. If a foriegn military invades, it is your duty as an American to impede thier success (and you won't accomplish that by facing an advanced military openly, it would be done through an insurgency.)
If foriegn pressures cause your own government to become tyrannical, it is your duty under the constitution to defend America's liberties and freedoms for America's sake, not the U.N.'s. or whatever nation is doing the influencing.
I support America, and will therefore not support a people coming into conflict with our troops. I still have great sympathy and admiration for those people though, because they are attempting to defend many of the very rights the constitution grants us.
Especialy the RKBA for the purpose the 2nd mentions.
They are doing it at great risk and loss, for no personal gain, simply because they believe it is the right thing to do. Even with thier own government betraying them because of foriegn pressure.
