  • No one stated, mssedmebich, that an "organazation" (sic) is not responsible for the actions of "it" (sic) employees.

    Unfocused anger and vague diatribe does nothing....except placate the enemy.

  • Most lawyers would be on the floor laughing at the idea that an organazation like the FBI is not responsible for the actions of it employees. I believe they still run their own mental evaluations and training in house. You are what you put on the payroll.

  • @mssedmebich: the fed/FBI officer was not a "they" - Lon Horuichi was the one who shot his wife - get the facts so you can focus your anger and inform yourself.

  • @tobiasaurusrex: It was Lon Horuichi of the FBI...you know how those loose cannons like to join up. never know if they're following orders or not and probably never will know.

  • Obviously America has a unique relationship with the 2nd amendment... its part of the american constitution.

    Oh my god when will Americans stop thinking their law applies to the rest of the world?

  • Just my take: guns have been a part of the United States since its birth, unlike the other major powers in the world. Claiming the right to bear arms was a direct challenge to the British - - the colonial masters of the time - - and locking it into our Bill of Rights is one safeguard to prevent a totalitarian regime from taking over easily. On a personal level I feel that I am part of the commitment to freedom and liberty because my country the USA recognizes gun ownership as a right.

  • David Koresh, on the other hand, is deceased. So I believe that the 2nd amendment was not incorporated against Oklahoma in the same manner that it may have been against Idaho for Randy Weaver.

  • Maybe it should be not just a right but a responsibility to bear arms. Any wrongdoer who waved a gun in a felony would need eyes all round their head to protect themselves from the concerned citizens' armed response of a hail of bullets...in self-defence, of course. Since America already has a greater death-by-gunshot count than the rest of the world put together it would hardly make a dent in the statistics and would thin out the armed felons at a rapid rate.

  • Looking for the translation :-)

  • Do i win the prize so far?
