Let’s see, the US, which has almost no guns laws outside of the old union states, has a firearm death rate in 2010 of 4.7 per 100,000. Here in the Confederacy the rate is much higher. Meanwhile remember those crazy Japanese? The ones that use to run right at our machineguns? They have a death rate of .32 per 100,000,or 13 times lower than the US rate.
I wonder why? Do you think it has to due with the guns laws they have there, some of the toughest in the world. The only Japanese handguns in private hands belong to Olympics team members. It’s time to drop the phony nonsense about the second Amendment and understand this. There are a large number of sick punks, semi-tough wise a-holes in this country, and especially Arizona, that hide behind the second amendment so that they can own guns, why? Because they think it makes them a “man”. When I was younger I did the same thing, but now that I’m a little wiser, I have turned in my weapons. I just lived through too many Auroras, and Tucsons and I can’t be silent anymore. Tell you congressmen you don’t what him to take any more of the NRA’s blood money, and to vote to protect our citizens from the sick clowns who have to own a Glock, to be a man. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Another fine article from the "Associated Progressives". In this race to save our country from financial armageddon and tyranny, the marxist-in-chief definitely isn't pro 2nd amendment. As the article states: "anti-gun zealot". Let's not overlook her thighness, hillary-the-eighth, with her support of the UN'S, "small arms treaty" ban.
