  • The National Rifle Association had long been known as one of the most powerful lobbying groups in America. But at the peak of its power, this well-funded ally of the Republican Party has found itself besieged by scandal and legal challenges that could permanently change how it operates.

      You are TOTALLY WRONG. The corruption impulse is ALWAYS there for any institution. Check out the salaries in Big Academe. Yeah, they've gone straight through the roof. The coaches get paid MILLIONS per year for the school's football teem/ basketball team -- etc. The school's NON-teaching elites pull down $800,000 per annum salaries -- for 'working' (that is the official explanation) eight-months out of the year... The teaching staff is so poorly paid they often need subsidized housing. And that's just Big Academe. The same flow of money is seen in the Church where arch-Bishops live like royalty. And then there's the ARTS. Top stars are so over-paid that they feel guilty. So they preen and posture to the public -- and STILL take the Big Bucks. Many Talking Heads hectoring you on the boob tube are pulling down $1,000,000 per MONTH. In all of the above cases -- the players want EVEN MORE.

      @@WannabeWoodsman A few did, notably Jefferson and the Antifederalists. He was staunchly opposed to the formation of a large national military, especially a navy, on account of the cost and the aforementioned ideological concerns, one of which was that he associated large militaries with the monarchies of Europe, who tended to get into a lot of wars with them. He was a man who definitely thought more highly of farming than commerce, views not shared by more northern founders.
      In fact, Jefferson's idea of a US Navy was "a citizen militia, but on the sea." When he became president, Jefferson likely changed his views on whether to have a navy in the first place. He wasn't a fan of the navy, but recognized that such a navy would be necessary to conduct a war against the Barbary States who harbored pirates that attacked among other nations, American ships, and that he was even less of a fan of paying them the tribute they demanded.
      And the performance of the militias in the subsequent War of 1812 was... mixed. Very mixed. They did reasonably well in less direct actions and when heavily backed by regular units, but did poorly against British regulars. America would continue to use militia forces well into the 19th century, mainly in the Civil War (when you're shooting at each other) and in the Indian Wars, but there was no debate after that as to the need for a proper military by any of the founders. The Canadian experience of militia units was much better, being backed by the British Army much of the time, and didn't think they needed a professional army until the Great War, when debacles like Sam Hughes, the Shield Shovels, and the Ross Rifle came into their own.

      The areas of extreme gun violence have BY FAR the toughest gun laws. When gun ownership laws were returned to original conditions -- crime went down -- often way down.
      In one Texas county, gun ownership was made virtually obligatory. Violent crime -- already low -- went to flat zero. The criminally inclined simply picked up sticks and moved to easier victims.

      With your Internet nic I'm assuming that the absolute blood bath of Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and Maoist China are news to you. All three started// or were enabled by -- the government seizing private guns. In all three states, in no time flat the government turned ITS guns upon their citizens -- who died by the THOUSAND... then MILLIONS.
      America was FOUNDED when the British government came to seize ball and shot from its citizens. By doing so, it was making the frontier DEFENSELESS. And that frontier was only a half-day's walk from Boston.
      All other rights flow from the barrel of a gun. It's the way of man. Before that, swords and spears.
      BTW, criminals LOVE swords over guns. Prior to gun ownership, no street was ever safe. Swords don't need ammo, are quiet and, all in all, pretty cheap.

      At this time the US had a militia, private people called by government for war with their arms to go for fighting and then go back home, without salaries...

      @@rudalibellator1739 "absurdity" is evading question about gun laws and homicide rate and talk about income. What income do average drug dealers have? Stay with the issue of gun laws and homicide rate. So you say USA. BTW the US VP is from Jamaica. So what makes Obama town Chicago, the worst in homicide rate while having very strict gun laws? Do you know who the mayor is? And can you explain why the same people who want to defund police also want the same police to confiscate your guns?
