The notion that 21st century America will give up our freedom is nonsense.
Americans are going to remain free until the end of time.

International law is inconsistent with sovereignty.
BLESSEDLY, there is no international government.

Not really.
But even if that were true, Americans still have the right to carry handguns whenever they go about in public.

True. We do.
If the quoted allegations of "edgarblythe" were actually true,
then the individual members of every army, American or alien,
and members of every police force wud be constantly shooting at one another.
That has not proven to be the case.
If that were actually true,
then gun fights wud be forever breaking out in
ALL gunnery ranges
thru out America. I have
NEVER heard of a single gun fight in
ANY gunnery range anywhere in America.

@oralloy,
Not only that, even if the invasion wasn't self defense, the fact that the invasion was approved by the UN Security Council would still make it 100% legal.
----------
You're not only a liar, you're a bad liar. Bring forward the UN Security Council Resolution that authorized either invasion.

OK, I assumed that part, I was wrong.
I would hate to be that girl right about now.
Why the hell would you have assumed she was white?
I love the way some folks seem to believe that they would act dispassionately and even in accordance with international law upon finding themselves in a highly charged, potentially lethal situation. I would ask them if they ever found themselves in their daughter's room with a man she denied knowing and who engaged them in a spirited argument, but given their predisposition, if they had they most likely would be dead.
Whether in Texas or Maryland, if you find yourself in a home to which you have not been invited by the owners, and confronted by the owner who is holding a gun, shut the f*ck up, put your hands in the air and hope the police have been called and will soon arrive.
You could of course get all up in the face of the armed owner, because you have your damned rights, and you don't want to look like a punk in front of the girl you were trying to bed, but then you will probably end up dead.
Don't worry though, there will be loads of people who will be calling for the scalp of the owner, bemoaning your untimely death, and, perhaps, even assuming the girl was white.
You'll be a hero, or at least a martyr.
@Finn dAbuzz,
Finn, could you help Oralloy? I asked him;
"Bring forward the UN Security Council Resolution that authorized either invasion."
Of Iraq or Afghanistan, of course.
@JTT,
No I can't. It has nothing to do with this topic.
@Finn dAbuzz,
Finn: No I can't. It has nothing to do with this topic.

If that's your only concern then you won't mind helping him out in a thread dedicated to that question.
@Finn dAbuzz,
A rather childish response, Finn. How come tough subjects are no go areas for the world's great debaters?
@Finn dAbuzz,
Another childish response, Finn. How come tough subjects are no go areas for the world's great debaters?
@JTT,
Oh please. If there is another thread on a topic in which you would like to engage, wait for me to find it or provide me with a link.
This "Oh but Finn, maybe you will..." crap is really tiresome.
@Finn dAbuzz,
Finn: No I can't. It has nothing to do with this topic.

That is such a lame diversion. Look at all the off topic posts on every thread. Look at you & setanta in the Why thread.

Why do you keep bringing up Iraq?
Afghanistan is the one who attacked us.
At any rate, this is the resolution I was thinking of:

This one is also noteworthy:

I repeat, point me to a relevant thread or get bent.

Armed Citizen in Texas Stops Shooting Spree
and Saves Cop by Making 50+ Yard Shot With a Pistol
By DAN CANNON
An armed private citizen assisted a police officer who was pinned down
by the gunfire of a madman who had just killed 3 people and could have
killed many more. Amazingly the concerned citizen, Vic Stacy, did so
by taking a shot of 50+ yards using only a pistol.
The caliber and gun are unknown, but Stacy mentions a “magnum bullet”
which could mean a .357 or .44. Stacy landed multiple shots on the shooter
and this allowed the police officer to also land shots with his AR-15
while the suspect was distracted.
