“For the Second Amendment to do its job, the other side must become much better informed. I watched an action-adventure program last night that asserted that the famous AK-47 - the original peoples' rifle (and Authority's greatest mistake) - is rare in this country, and that the only ones here were originally smuggled in from the Middle East, or possibly from South America. The idiots who wrote this mess seemed unaware that after legal imports - mostly from China - were illegally cut off by executive order, they began to be manufactured here.” CountryActionJobsLastsAmericaNightOrderSidesMistakeCuttingMiddleAdventureAuthorityProgramOriginalsSouthChinaEastMessIdiotExecutivesMiddle EastAmendmentsLast NightSecond AmendmentRiflesImportsSouth AmericaExecutive OrdersAk 47 Author:L.

“The issue has two dimensions. One is the legal dimension and the other one is the issue at the realpolitik. [In the] legal realm, we believe in equal rights for all people in all nations. If Israel, the United States, Russia, Pakistan, other countries, China, have the right to have a nuclear program and nuclear bomb, Iran, too, must have that same right.

“The ‘Great Society’ has not worked and it’s put us into the modern welfare state. If you look at China, they don’t have food stamps. If you look at China, they’re in a very different situation. They save for their own retirement security…they don’t have the modern welfare state and China’s growing. And so what I would do is look at the programs that LBJ gave us with the Great Society and they’d be gone.” IfsLooksDifferentStatesSituationGoneGrowingModernSecurityProgramChinaWelfareRetirementStampsWelfare StateFood StampsGreat SocietyLbj Author:Michele Bachmann
