Neat bumper sticker I saw today
"Politicians prefer unarmed peasants"
Makes you think doesn't it? I can't help but wonder if all those I Iraqi "insurgents" had had all the firepower they currently have then why didn't they overthrow Saddam theirselves?

The Iraqis were as well armed under Saddam as they are today. To rule an armed society, you simply carry out military style operations against the populace.
The problem with these theories is the word "society". Heavily armed populaces are not exactly a good thing when societies are deeply divided.

They had a lot, but Sadam had more bigger better. I remember he was into heavy artilary which was more than what they have found from the insergents.

I think the only reason we haven't had one here is because the left is not armed.

That's the way it works in all third world countries. Most all Latin American countries allow easy ownership of weapons. That is why the army is used as a national police force in those countries, and across the rest of the third world. They don't care if you got guns, some death squad is going to pop you when you step outside your front door, or the army is going to shell your town. In Guatemala, they were notorious for strafing civilians with surplus P-51 mustangs. Communist countries on the other hand, were well known for gun confiscation.

I knew you couldn't stay away from that one.
Funny how the left thinks their 1st amendment rights are so sacred yet campain so hard to deny everyone their 2nd amendment rights...... Take away one the other will soon be lost too.

I have been reading on DU when Bush won that they finally saw what the right saw in guns. But, they just had to mention that once they were through, that guns would be banned because then society would be perfect.
 :And the insurgents got most of their weapons from the ammodumps. Our soldiers have been (tragically) destroying genuine AK47s (instead of shipping them here to be sold on the Class3 market) STILL IN THEIR FREAKING WRAPPER!!!  We just haven't been committing the gregious sin of destroying the rifles quickly enough to keep them out of insurgent hands.
