Om above wouldn’t be able to figure out a terrorist from a law abiding citizen, but most sane Indians can tell the “intent” of a gunman by the way he is shooting indiscriminately at anyone in sight, or only at one or group of armed terrorist.

And ofcourse, if you are a law abiding citizen, you will only shoot only when someone shoots at you, and not start shooting at anyone who you think is a terrorist.

And ofcourse, terrorists won’t be going around holding pistols like normal law abiding citizens.

Wake up!

In the United States there are also “safe havens” for criminals to do their cowardly acts. The cowards chose Churches, college campuses, shopping malls. These places have laws in place that prohibit firearms and the cowards chose these places for random killing simply because they know they will meet with no resistance. Those laws are being questioned and college students are forming organized reprisal groups to repeal those laws.

I have a concealed weapons permit and most everyone I know has hand guns, rifles, and shot guns. When the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor severely crippled the US Navy the Japanese did not continue to the mainland. Why? The Japanese commander had studied in the United States and he knew American households had privately owned guns and were not afraid to use them. The commander knew Americans could form a militia within hours that even their powerful navy could not take.

Along with carrying a gun comes the responsibility of knowing when and how to use it. I have never had to defend my family or myself. I do not have to use it. But I can’t use it if I don’t have it.

There is a saying in this country. “When you only have split seconds the police are minutes away.” The police will do a good job of notifying your relatives of your death.

Every genocide in history started with the confiscation of guns. Germany, Somalia, Turkey, Uganda, China, the Soviet Union, Cambodia to name a few. I lived in New Delhi for two years. Do not let that happen to my friends in India.

When the English wanted to stop Indian uprising and revolt at the turn of the century what was the first thing they did. Confiscated your guns. Muhatma Ghandi said “This will come as a black day”. He was not wrong. Dan, USA

Many people in foreign countries have a misguided idea of what gun rights in the USA really means. This misguided idea comes from bad Hollywood movies and lying politicians.

It is a very serious crime in the USA to shoot someone. The penalties are quite severe, and can even include the death penalty. Threatening a person with a gun is also a very serious crime in the USA. Even a policeman who uses his gun is suspended at once until the investigation of his actions is complete.

Self-defense in the USA is an excuse from the penalty of the crime.

Suppose that Ms Jones shoots Mr. Smith and kills him. At the very least, she has committed the crime of manslaughter. Ms Jones says that Mr. Smith attacked her with a knife, with the intent of raping and killing her. The police investigation indicates that Ms Jones is telling the truth, and that if she had not shot Mr. Smith, she would certainly be dead.

In such a case, the courts would probably decide that Ms Jones is excused from all penalty because it was self-defense. The police will then return her gun to her.

It is still a very long, and very difficult, and very expensive, legal process for Ms Jones. The incident will interfere with Ms Jones’ life for many years. But, she will still have her life, instead of being buried in the ground with a cut throat and her body raped.

This is the truth about self-defense with guns in the USA. Forget the crazy Hollywood ideas about “trigger-happy Americans”. It is not true. Americans who own guns pray every day that they will never need to use them.

However, the fact that Americans, including women like Ms Jones, have guns is a deterrent to attackers. The terrorist incidents in the USA have happened in situations where guns are forbidden, such as on jetliners.

Criminals and terrorists will always have weapons. The only question is if their victims have weapons too.

The right to life means nothing without the right to possess the means to protect and defend one’s own life.

Most governements including the United Nations consider social order much more important that individual survival. Social order requires that the ordinary headcount depends on the Community for whatever degree of safety the Community wishes to afford. It is desirable that only those in leadership rolls have such things as guns and then only to protect them from anti social elements.

Grow up and treat your neighours as you would like to treated. Instead of aiding all the terrorism in Pakistan NWFP, Balouchistan and in the cities like karachi. Yes you know too well RAW is involved and we know.

Mini superpower and cant protect its citizens pathetic and your commandoes they are a laughing stock of the world. Seeing your army on the news reminds me of Dads army programme lol.

If you had a margin of hope that you could take on Pakistan, you hindu fanatics would not wait a sec but the reality is that Pakistan is strong because people of Pakistan are strong, hospitable, generous, caring and most of all open, can look after thereself. without bowing down like your leaders to the West for help we stand and deliver! I love Pakistan! Zinda Bad!!!!
