Wanted to get their guns and start wars but after the mass shootings they are on the side of the assault weapons group, don't take their guns 'cause they have "rights"? And it seems to be the same group screaming along with the NRA. some posters have said they need the weapons to "keep the government from taking them over" but don't realize they do not have a fighting chance. It was reported Saddam had WND's but we know what happened to him. Wayne LaPierre wants to have his NRA members being tough but Mr Tuff LaPierre had nerve problems and could not serve this country in Vietnam using the type guns he is pushing but don't expect this coward to take one into battle.

(53,035 posts)it's mental illness. Have you seen that image that floated around Facebook: When Muslims commit a crime, it's terrorism. When African-Americans do, they are thugs, but when white men kill people, they must be mentally ill.
Prejudice and hypocrisy run deep.

(75,480 posts)I worked with a group of Iranians at UCLA right after then. They were refugees from the Ayatollah themselves but they were subjected to so much hate by Americans. I was ashamed of my fellow countrymen.

(8,219 posts)Americans always have to have someone to hate.
Read what Chris Hedges has to say about this. From back at the time of WWI it was the Kaiser, the Butcher of Berlin, then the "Dreaded Hun", then the Communist and now the Muslims. Sad!
Edward Bernays and others managed the propaganda, and after WWI they all went to Madison Ave.
