That doesn't make me a nobody now though. But how you got to be so old and remain so naive is just sad. You want to believe in the US that liberated Europe in WWIi. Fine. That's long gone. Politics and the military no longer serve the ideals of America. They serve the 1% and their interests. If their interests are that Americans are disarmed, it will be done. Personally, I've never thought that anyone really wants that, but if they did, it would and could be done by various levels of coercion and finally force when necessary. But guns are good business. Why would the powers that be want to shut that down? In fact, "take away our guns" is good for business. The NRA has been milking that sales pitch for decades.</blockquote>
