Why are Americans so paranoid and fearful??




When in a militia, invite local police and city leaders to your meetings. Encourage people to vote. Have fun activitys too, for the whole family. Picnics, partys, fishing/hunting trips.
Sounds wonderful!

Have a picnic, meet interesting people and then shoot them !

Damn right they would... Although I have no idea what that has to do with this topic.

I took the question apart and found that the word "can" made me vote yes. It does not mean that it will or it will not, but it is able.
I have concerns though that I cannot dispel, concerning tools designed to kill and who gets to operate them.
The Why becomes shifting sands of justifying taking lives. It is too hard for me to be comfortable with at all.

Let me spell it out for you - Iraq is a great example of what happens when armed militias are permitted in society

You're the one who wants everybody to go around carrying guns!

Oh but I forgot, it's not the guns who shoot people

It's not the guns that go around shoooting people. do we ban knives because people get stabbed to death?

Why not ban cars, cigarettes, electricity, any body of water greater than 1" deep... blah blah blah...

That may be the stupidest thing you have ever posted here... You can't possibly believe that? Iraq is the result of a mad man's invasion...

Because all of those items have alternative functions.

Even cigarettes carry a warning and are banned in many places.

Guns have only one purpose.

I agree we cannot eliminate risk from every day life but we can try to reduce it
