You both need to take a Xanax. So much drama. "You want to see us dead, dead, dead!!!" |
+1 Let’s now define militia. Hint- it’s not you and your personal armory. |
Bad analogy. What right would the US congress tell Canadians that they aren’t allowed to have any guns is a better example. |
You need to start further back to show the damage the US did in Iran. The early 1950s is when the CIA and England created a coup and put the Shah in place of a democratically elected leader. In the 1950s and 60s the US assisted Iran in gaining nuclear power. It was called Atoms for Peace. Right before the hostages taken there was a revolution against the US appointed dictator Shah and he had to escape. The formerly exiled Khomeini came into power. The US took in the Shah for medical treatment and that was one of the reasons the hostages were taken. |
Hint- Thomas Jefferson was asked this very same question, and he’s already defined it. “It is the whole of the People” So yeah, that indeed IS me and my personal armory. And you, too. You can borrow one of my AR’s, if I think you’re responsible enough not to accidentally shoot yourself or someone else. |
The US created a coup and installed a dictator, The Shah. This brutal dictator killed thousands of innocent Iranians during his reign until the revolution in 1979. You have to wonder what the country would be like if they were able to keep the democratically elected leader. Less violence, more freedom. But the US didn’t care. Its decision revolved around oil. US can stay out of everyone’s business and focus on US problems. |
Do people in real life cross to the other side of the street when they see you coming? did you have some kind of spasm while you were typing this? |
It might be summer break, but it’s past your bedtime. |
You'll upset people if you try to give context that disrupts their narrative. And yes the western imposed Shah was brutal to his people for decades and allowed the pillaging of oil for the west. |
PP here. All true and all totally irrelevant. Today’s Iranian government presents a clear threat to America and Americans. If they want an apology for Cold War meddling, fine. “Death to America” not fine. |
DP no Iran’s government does not represent any threat to the US. You can say it but it is not true. Maybe Israel see Iran as a regional arrival but that’s about it. Seriously your premise is preposterous. |
Sounds like Iranian loyalist need to pony up and send some billions to fund GOP and Dem politicians so that bombs can be dropped on their enemies. Gotta pay to play. |
If anything the parasitic relationship with Israel has been the biggest threat to the US. Because we have been enabling and supporting all their war crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleaning, the US has long had a target on its back. |
Wrong. An AR-15 is considered the best home defense gun. It’s much easier to hit a target with an AR-15 than a smaller gun. Most mass shootings and shootings are done with a smaller handgun, not an AR-15. |
Actually the analogy is, if the US can have nukes, so can Iran. If you can have a gun, so can I. If Iran cannot have nukes, neither can the US. If you cannot have a gun, neither can I. |
