We have become a nation of cowards who need guns!!!!

Do you think if 911 had happened in any other Country but ours,
that Country today would today be scanning 75 year olds in
fucking Pods and asking my 14 year old niece to remove her shoe
before boarding?

We had a bunch of pussies running the country at the time led by those
punks Bush and Chaney who did their best to scare the hell out of us and
it worked.

One can not deny the fact that the fear factor in our country after 911 certainly
didn’t hurt the arms manufacturers....

2. When WEREN'T we a heavily armed nation?

Was there a period in our history that was not violent?

I'm not saying it is a good thing in any way. I'm just saying reality is reality.

5. We must have always been cowards

8. The world has always been a scary place

In the old days, it was fear of wild animals, bandits, and Native Americans. As time went on, it was fear of brown people. I suppose even hunting could be considered a fear of the hard labor involved in farming and gathering plant-based food.

So I guess if gun ownership equals cowardice, then yes, since day one, we have always been cowards.

3. In a sense we are. I realized it when

They refused to have trials for the terrorist on the mainland anywhere and wanted to keep it at Guantanamo. Primarily the republicans fought it.

4. We are a nation with too many cowards and swaggering"Clint Eastwood" (prior to the R convention) ..

... wannabes

...but, P*****s ....? I don't think so.

Attributed (perhaps falsely) to Betty White:
“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”

7. we are also a nation

That insults and demeans those with whom we disagree...we are little more than Sneeches, fighting for our stars.
