Taliban seems pretty successful at denying our government a desired outcome in Afghanistan, even though their rusty AK-47s and crude IEDs are no match for the sophisticated weaponry US military has deployed there.

Our government has a desired outcome in Afghanistan? Why is it keeping it a secret?

Actually, this suggests that guns can only cause chaos in such a situation. If guns were effective in stopping an occupation by a malevolent force -- and our military certainly is malevolent towards the Afghans -- then the Afghan resistance should have ended our occupation by now.

I don't find the argument that no restrictions on guns will turn America into Afghanistan to be a convincing argument against gun control.

That's really easy to do when the US government has no clue whatsoever what the desired income they are trying to achieve is.

Oh Dan.. I have no doubt you would lick the Cream off Osama' or any Islamic terrorists
ass any place any time.. and ask for more.

In many of our posts over the past year.. all you spout is anti-US, anti-white and anti-religion.

You might as well be some prick in North Korea...

Not only is the label terrorist arbitrary, but there have been plenty of completely innocent people tortured and murdered by the U.S. under the pretense of combating terrorism. Anyone who believes that those innocent people are acceptable collateral damage is as bad as any terrorist.

What you call innocent is typically some already professed terrorist anyway.

And comments like this is why everyone thinks you're an ass.

When you grow up and want to discuss grown up issues like an adult call me. Till then, sink back to whatever pubescent wacking hole you crawled out of.

I can't imagine how racist you must be to think that anything I've ever said was anti-white. I can't image how much of a pseudo-patriotic nationalist slim you must be to think that anything I've ever said was anti-US (a real patriot criticizes his government and seeks to change it).

As for anti-religion, well, yes, I'm anti-religion for the exact same reason I'm anti-murder. It's fucking evil. Of course, you're every bit as anti-religion as I am when it comes to anyone else's religion.

Agreed, except for the part about karma. Karma's just a myth, like heaven and hell, to allow people to delude themselves that no injustice goes uncorrected.

Joseph Stalin died fat and happy on the couch of natural causes at the age of 74, I believe. For somebody born in the late 19th Century, 74 was a very long life.
