First things first.

2. From whom? n/t

[Orwellian_Ghost]

6. From

the US corporate military protection racket.

As one who has never owned or fired a gun I find it rather tedious and near-sighted for so many liberal "do-gooders" to get on the gun control bandwagon, particularly in a time of uber-rightward drift of the political machinery, while "their" governement is brandishing and using massive weaponry all around the world.

First things first.

The Trillion-Dollar Defense Budget Is Already Here
March 15, 2007
Robert Higgs


When President George W. Bush presented his budget proposals recently for the fiscal year 2008, he emphasized that the nation’s security is his highest priority, and he backed up that declaration by proposing that the Pentagon’s outlays be increased by more than 6 percent beyond its estimated outlays for fiscal 2007, to a total of more than $583 billion. Although many Americans regard this enormous sum as excessive, hardly anyone appreciates that the total amount of all defense-related spending greatly exceeds the amount budgeted for the Department of Defense. Indeed, it is roughly almost twice as large.
