Except they don't and that is just a talking point promulgated by anti-2A groups.
The NRA (or rather, part of the NRA) is a lobbying group that represents the interests of gun owners. It doesn't need to represent anyone except for that constituency. Just like how climate change...
What do you guys think of Sweden's attempt to appease Russian "macho aggression" with their "feminist foreign policy?" Do you think that this foreign policy is insane? Do you think it is ridiculous...
Good riddance. Now he just needs to get rid of John Kerry.
To be fair, this is caused largely by how Chicago measures their statistics and the areas in which crime is highest. The official population of Chicago includes those who live in the surrounding...
Johnson knew full well that the situation in Vietnam wasn't a good one (as evidenced by his conversation with Senator Russel), but as you said, he began sending armed guards there in response to...
Good news my friend: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/24/chicago-crime-rate-drops-as-concealed-carry-gun-pe/?page=all
I think that gun ownership has very little to do with it altogether and it is prompted largely by other factors as well. However, when people like Michael Bloomberg claim that the reason crime rates...
The situation changed and the president's policy changed with it?
A report by the FBI shows that gun ownership is on the rise and crime is on the decline. If one were to believe the media and some posters on this forum, you would think crime were at an all-time...
I admit that I am not an expert on the Vietnam War, but I have studied the war for a number of years (including two college courses on it) and have found my views on the war to be ever changing....
From your perspective, who do you believe were the "good guys" in World War I?
The Central Powers
Some argue that Germany's behavior during the July Crisis (following the assassination of Franz...
Which countries would you consider to be post-Cold War allies of North Korea? I'm legitimately curious as to what countries you guys think are culpable of supporting North Korea. Below I'll make a...
I imagine that this would be a given. Though I didn't include the option, because I wanted this to be more of a philosophical question.
You can vote for multiple options?
I purposely left the poll nation-neutral so that anyone can vote in it :D
Just out of curiosity, where would you like your federal tax dollars to go? And where would you like them to go the most?
The City of Detroit has come under fire from the United Nations (lol), who accuse the city of "gross human rights abuses" for shutting off water utilities to those who refuse to pay their bills. What...
I'm not going to delve too deep into this, but if we seriously want to win the war in Afghanistan, then I have a few ideas on how we might be able to do so. Below is a general outline of a few...
I've done a fair amount of research into the history of American citizens volunteering for foreign militaries. I have uncovered dozens of examples of Americans volunteering to fight for various...
Most conservative and left-wing groups in the developed world are in agreement when it comes to membership in alliances such as NATO, ANZUS and others. However, it would seem that some groups outside...
Aside from domestic political issues, what is your greatest foreign policy and/or global concern at the moment?
Singapore, one of America's closest allies and partners, is building a closer relationship with and even allied itself with, Turkey. While Turkey has also been a long-time American and Israeli ally,...
Turkey has been reluctant to fight against ISIS, but has engaged in an aerial campaign against the Kurdistan Workers' Party. While the North Atlantic Treaty Organization supports Kurdish...
His exact words were:
"If you own a business, you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen."

There are several differences between Benghazi and the other attacks. Ranging from the fact that the Benghazi attack was allowed to play out as it did due to gross incompetence and a lack of decision...
Why are Republican Congressmen spending millions of our tax dollars investigating Benghazi and the IRS scandal, when that time, money and effort could be used to investigating real scandals. Real...
What foreign policy topics do you find the most important and/or interesting?
I've spent some time now studying the relatively "moderate" radical right-wing parties like the Sweden Democrats, Party for Freedom (Netherlands) and Swiss People's Party, and I can't help but find...
If you could access any 5 websites using your mind anytime you want, regardless of where you are, what websites would you choose to have access to? Please note that you can only access these five...

Sorry everyone, it seems that GOG only let you activate the keys during within 48 hours of giving them away.
The administration lied about Benghazi, for starters. And to make matters worse, there was gross incompetence at the highest levels of our government.
That's very noble of you and I agree with the sentiment.
I've spent a fair amount of time this morning watching the House of Representatives discuss and debate the 2013 IRS scandal and I couldn't help but wonder what other controversies and/or scandals...
The prime minister of South Korea was forced to resign because his administration didn't handle a boating accident properly. Meanwhile, the American president has carelessly given weapons to Mexican...
I'm going to try my hand at pen-and-paper roleplaying, and BattleTech has always fascinated me. I've been told to avoid A Time of War (the fourth edition) at all costs, leaving only the first three...
The question is more one of whether or not it should be considered an eSport, which many people believe it shouldn't.
The problem is that eSports sold out a long time ago and many organizations ...
I've always been big on eSports, but I find it hard to classify League of Legends as an eSports game. In my eyes, the game simply lacks the balance and depth needed to be a true eSports game and the...
I never said Russia would attack the West, only that the West would attack Russia.
I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from. Your average Westerner doesn't care for dictatorships like those in Saudi Arabia, but supports "good" dictatorships in countries like Egypt. The...
