Does Anyone Else Think it Ironic that Iraqis have More Freedoms than
most Americans?
The Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq
allows every home in Iraq to own an AK-47, an automatic/semi-automatic rifle,
and a 30 round magazine. They don't control or track sales of these weapons.
Would that our government allowed the same for
us.
Of course, we don't have foreign
troops knocking on our doors and searching at will without a warrant or even a
judicial system. We're also much more prosperous. I don't want to imply that
the Iraqis are better off than we are, which would be absurd. I'm only pointing
out that in a nation where there is little effective law or civilization that no
one thinks it too harsh to not restrict weapons ownership. Yet in the United
States weapons sales are tracked and documented, in some states owning weapons
is severely limited to the point of being illegal.
Maybe we'll figure this out soon, and
maybe the NRA will actually work to restore our gun rights rather than
continuously beg for money so that they can do things like support the Brady
Bill (which they now use to scare people into giving them more money) and the
National Instant Check System which any fool knew would be used to create gun
ownership rosters, like it was.
Let's
hope that when the Iraqis become civilized again they will remember how
important gun ownership is.
(Don't
bother clicking on the "drivel button, there ain't no more on today's
rant.)
I told you there was nothing more, but you didn't
believe me and just had to look, didn't you?
