#1 Oh, I think the individual people there should be allowed to possess weapons for their personal protection. You want my house to store missiles in? Bang!.

#2 Wally sounds reasonable, 'statesman like', and much less irritating than the senorita! His bodyguards and security net is obviously first rate, but in my opinion as to why he puts up with the BS, allowing it to age him prematurely, is beyond me! He should have thrown the 'bird' long ago...unless he has no where else to go; then there's Paris!

#3 FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE
-An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
-Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.
-Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
-Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
-The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.
-64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
-Guns have only two enemies; rust and politicians.
-You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
-Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.
-You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.
-When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
-'Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.' Thomas Jefferson

#4 oh- and yes, I realize it is a much different situation over there and Wally is right when he says, "No country in the world agrees to have armed factions outside its control that want to declare wars with the enemy whenever they desire as if they are the only ones that run the country's businesses."

The problem in Lebanon is that they are in a civil war that has to be fought. But this is ALWAYS one of the most dangerous statements a citizen can hear: Lebanese authority is the only power that is eligible to possess weapons

#5 I'll bet that's one gun buyback program that would get very interesting...

#6 "No country in the world agrees to have armed factions outside its control that want to declare wars with the enemy whenever they desire as if they are the only ones that run the country's businesses."

Idiot, You've surely heard of the USA where damn near everyone is armed.
(And live in relative peace)
