Comment on Fourth of July by RadoJavor

My good Greek friend. I tell you with experience, by knowing firsthand. By living through it. That owning a gun, an assault rifle, a rocket launcher or a tank is no different than owning a baseball bat (with the intent of using it as a means for self-defense, or an instrument to kill if needed be). Your mind remains the same and the weapon merely becomes an item in your closet that you hope you will not have to use. If you will speak to a man courteous, intelligent, polite and helpful. Then you inquire as to if he owns any weapons and suddenly he becomes a killer. The purpose of the weapon IS to kill. But it is also to protect yourself, is this an evil thing? The volitious nature of our laws are implicitly designed for the well being of its constituency. Some rifles are restricted, but laws vary from state to state, and occasionally from county to county. Typically assault weapons require you to be 21 years of age (as opposed to 18), an extensive background check is required, any prior convictions of a felonious nature will thereby forfeit your right to own nearly all firearms. Notwithstanding our constitutional right to own firearms (and all means of defense and weaponry), some states have outright banned the ownership of assault weapons entirely (AK47's M16's G3's). In my household alone we own 11 guns, 3 of which are priceless heirlooms over 150 years old handed down from generation to generation, father to son. As my father was a soldier he gave me a lot of his old equipment he used in the military, and that eventually started my collection. I collect military items and guitars. Please allow me to explain this to you.

Our government was designed to take into account the fact that ALL governments at SOME POINT become tyrannical.
To ensure this does not happen, the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, (U.S. Constitution) afforded us the right to "Keep and bear arms".
They also afforded us the right to "Form militias".
Militias are comprised of regular American Citizens, their solemn purpose is to DEFEND THIS COUNTRY FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
In these militias they USE their OWN weapons, armor, uniforms, and have their own commanders that answer to no one, and the constitution is their rule book. Without the right to bear and keep arms this would not be possible.
These soldiers have, tanks, helicopters and various aircraft, machine guns, and even artillery and they are allowed to practice, train and associate under our constitution, they are the only thing that can defend us in the event of a government that oppresses us to an extreme extent. Given your current situation that would certify "civil war" but in my country it is a common right, like the right to breathe air and is not considered to be malign. The bloodiest war we have EVER fought, was a war against our self, it was the American Civil War, and more soldiers were killed than any other war we ever fought in. It was, however, one of the most important wars we've ever fought, and without the Union victory we would be two countries right now. If you are opposed to Capitalism, then what are you a proponent of? Socialism? Socialism seems good, and to my dismay the American people are slowly moving towards it. But I am intensely antithetic towards this form of Government. There is little incentive for competition, to do a good job. This is evident in our government today, government employees are slow, and lazy. U.S. Mail Vs. UPS. There is absolutely no comparison to the quality of work produced by the corporate organization. Capitalism utilizes primal human instincts of greed, opulence, and affluence to motivate workers. Relinquishing the hospitals to government control, pay, and otherwise allocation of funds towards these organizations would result in poor service, long waiting times, and as a result catastrophic medical fuck ups on a more frequent basis. But at least it's cheap!!


The only logical solution to this problem is not socialism, however it is quite the opposite.
The compelling factor as to the PRICE of medical service is the direct result of the "legal" issues involved in clinical operations and treatment of illnesses. If the doctors fuck up they can be sued boundlessly into a pit of debt of which is comparable to the commerce of a small city in a given month. There are many clinics that charge 20 dollars for visits, treatments and consultations. It is our government that is responsible for this preposterously expensive medical treatment services, by the act of over encumbering legislation. Is Michael Moore a foreigner? No, why would he know something that we don't? I am well aware of the misdoings of my country, I am well acquainted with these conspiracy movies, I have watched an innumerable amount of them, as they are indeed fascinating. We are all given access to the same information, Michael Moore is no exception. In his documentaries he epitomizes only the most severe intermittent cases. These things do occur, doctors are people with circumstances of their own. To base such prejudices on these allegations and cases of rarity is absurd. Wayward to your self promulgation, you manifest the peremptory characteristics of those delinquents who are opposed to anything that is considered normal, contrarily they unilaterally aggregate themselves to procure and disseminate what they consider to be nefarious. Group think is unavoidable. And you seem contented with your inexpiable hatred for us.
