Subj : Re: obamas gun fight To : Tim Richardson From : alexander koryagin Date : Wed Jan 20 2016 10:05 am Hi, Tim Richardson! I read your message from 18.01.2016 11:21 ak>> armed citizenry able to resist and overthrow a tyrannical ak>> government." TR> What's wrong with that? Does the thought of Americans being armed TR> and able to resist a tyrant who tries to impose a dictatorial TR> government on us upset your view of how *you* think we should live? TR> Some people lived on their knees before dictatorships and TR> repression of free thought for so long, and are so used to living TR> that way, they think Americans should want to live that way as TR> well. And the fact that we possess the means of preventing an out TR> and out dictator establishing a hold over us seems to upset the TR> rest of the world. If a state is really a strong democratic republic it can guarantee that no tyrant will come to power. It is loaded into the basement of the state structure itself - no need for citizens to keep submachine guns under their pillows. One person have a limited power in the US. In other words if a railway company is good you don't need to take spanners while taking a ride on the train. TR>>> Trouble is... pretty much all those who whine about ordinary TR>>> Americans owning their own guns, standing at a microphone TR>>> thundering against the Second Amendment, are usually surrounded TR>>> by plain clothes body guards who are armed to the teeth! ak>> The only hope is that they follow their promises given during the ak>> election campaign. They could demand gun restriction on behalf ak>> their electorate only. So democracy must show itself. TR> We aren't a `democracy'. We are a `democratic republic'. Above I've already told what I think of a democratic republic. TR>>> Not a single teacher was armed and able to engage a gunman who TR>>> was `harming the children'. TR>>> At Sandy Hook even the security guard was `un'armed! And the TR>>> children died! ak>> I think that the probability that a teacher will kill his students ak>> in temper is higher than the probability he will defend them from ak>> a terrorist. :) A teacher should be unarmed, as a researcher who ak>> is going to study savages in the jungle. More chances for ak>> negotiations. :) TR> To my knowledge no teacher has ever gone off in a school and TR> slaughtered a classroom full of students. Yeah, they don't carry guns yet. ;-) TR> If you are a foreigner and live in a foreign country, please stay TR> there and continue to be `controlled' by whatever dictator who TR> rules you. We don't need you here. We already have enough leftist TR> democrats who want to disarm the general public, control us in TR> every aspect of our lives, and micromanage our existence. We don't TR> need another one. Of course it is up to you to decide. I mean up to Americans. But if the majority wants to introduce strict arm control? Does the voice of the majority means anything in your country? Bye, Tim! Alexander Koryagin fido7.debate 2016 --- FIDOGATE 5.1.7ds * Origin: Pushkin's BBS (2:5020/2140.2) .
