    One man speaks sense and America cannot see it.

    Repealing the 2nd Amendment will not necessarily take away guns.... Guns (of a reasonable type) could still be owned and used for sporting or hunting purposes, maybe just better control of the total situation.

    I understand also that until the general IQ of America is raised to the normal levels enjoyed by citizens of most other countries, such ideas will always bring debate.

    You're not wrong. I'll admit it. We lost that war. But that's not the end of it. Neither is the American Revolution, which is another example. If Jez was here, he'd mention how his country beat the crap out of a vastly superior Russian army, and he'd be right as well. History is littered with examples of underdog victories, all the way back to recorded antiquity.

    Guns are not the problem, people are.

    Yes, examples of a more ferociously determined opposition - guns or not War is ( in part) a psychological phenomenon.

    Btw at the Chu Chi tunnels they were firing off some AK47s. Looked like fun, but the queue was long - and boy were they loud. I was concerned about my hearing from 20 or 30 metres away.

    Ranges in the USA usually require you to wear hearing protection.

    You're completely correct - IQ tests are designed to bypass educational smarts.

    My understanding is it's infectious disease that sink these countries mental performance - i.e the people taking the tests are half-dead.

    While Lance is correct, the M16a2 is what you're thinking of Goof. It has safe,semi, and burst (3 round). I was active duty when they took away my m16a1, and issued the a2 instead. As per legallity, since the burst occurs with one pull of trigger, and mutiple (in this case 3) rounds are fired, it's still considered automatic, thus falling into same process as Lance described: basically illegal or at for private citizens to own.

    It's about 18th century thinking in a 21st century world.
