Japan wasn't just looking to preserve the emperor as a figurehead: the government wanted to essentially save itself. It wanted to protect the old order, the same militaristic system that had led to the war that had just been fought. Besides, the Japanese had no intention to surrender...

So many more uses for knives. I've become uninterested airsoft since I started collecting real weapons. Awesome. Two questions: 1) Has your Sigma given you any trouble? I already have a couple of pistols, but I came across a Sigma for very cheap and it felt comfortable. However, they...

The inability to purchase firearms does not preclude being shot by one, nor does the ownership of firearms ensure you will be. Most people who own weapons are just average joes who like knowing that they have a means to recreation and protection.

I assume the above post is in response to my post. If so, I think Mr. HunterSeeker needs to understand that nuclear missiles haven't been in the hands of civilians for 70 years, but full automatic weapons have. That's a seriously week argument. Bombs, especially nuclear ones, are in a different...

Because they are fun. And in a free society, things should not be banned unless they pose a clear and present danger to that society. From a 'tactical' perspective, there is little difference between full auto weapons and semi-autos in terms of effectiveness. Those in the military spend most of...

Sorry, but sarcasm is difficult to pick up over the internet and especially on a topic such as this with such strong and diverging opinions.

We shouldn't give guns to everyone. No one should every be forced to carry a gun against their will (outside of military/cop, and you signed up for that). We should, I believe, encourage people who are legally able to own guns, and are willing to carry a gun to do so. Someone who wants to go on...

I understand your concern. I was making a point about the responsibility of the majority of people who legally own weapons not being unsafe, mistrusting, or dangerous. What you are asking for is gun control. You wish to limit access to firearms so that fewer will circulate so that fewer will...

1. Every gun is always loaded (Even if it's not) 2. Don't point a gun at anything you don't intend to destroy 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your aiming and ready to fire 4. Be sure of your target and what's behind it These rules should be followed at all times, and they usually are...

Hello. First, I'd like to say that I'm not very good at expressing my opinions or beliefs, or debating. I'd also like to mention that for background I am from Texas, am relatively educated, and own 21 firearms of various types. I feel that everyone in the United States has the right to own...

I'd just like to point out that many of the lines which you found cheesy were actually said at Thermoylae if I'm not wrong. "For tonight we dine in Hades" and "So much the better, we shall fight in the shade", for example, are actual quotes. Just goes to show how awesome the Spartans...

Just for my own curiosity, how many of y'all opposed to the ban have gone shooting in recent years? Not hunting or anything, just paper-punching. I ask because I bet many people's perceptions on handgun ownership and what people 'need' would change if they got the chance to go shoot. Especially...

What really sucks is that they have decided to charge for their little 'additions'. Not only does that apply to Xbox, but us PC users as well. I know buying their little additions like horse armor is a choice, but it just makes me feel like they take features out of the game to sell to us. It...

I'm diest. God puts big infinitely massive ball of matter in middle of big universe. Sets things in motion. Universe goes boom, a little while later, man builds his little empire on Earth.

Out of curiosity, what do you believe the American 'end' is? What are we after that you believe we are casually slaughtering innocents left and right for? Oil? You seem aweful determined to believe that American Soldiers don't care in any way for Iraqi's. Are there some that don't? Yes. Some...
