Arms Merchant to the World

Even before the Soviet Union fell the United States was producing 51% of all the military hardware in the World. That percentage has undoubtly gone up since then. So that means that every man woman and child in this country has benfited from the sale of death dealing instruments. (The USA military spends about 300 Billion a year alone.) Going back to WW1 the USA has been an arms merchant. So the people who are anti-gun in that sense are being hypocritical, cause a good part of our economy is generated by these sales. A good part of the wealth of the world has been transfered into the hand of the United States because it has been the arms merchant to the world. So we just don't live in a culture of violence we are the culture of violence......let's get real....... Did Michael Moorer tell U that in his film...


Second issue what about Nuclear weapons, do U feel safe with them around. When we were face to face with the Soviet should the USA just have said we're dismantling them. There isn't much difference from a nuke in the silo and a gun in the drawer simply because a thug is a thug whether it's a country or some scum bag out to rob U. Neither side if I recall used Nukes, it was called mutual deterence. Now this is a little obtuse as a anti-Gun Control arguement granted.

I heard Michael Moorer speak before....while I enjoyed his Roger and Me Movie about Robert Smith the CEO of GM and what a miserable bean counter he was. I just think Michael Moorer is a pimp for the Democratic party. Anything that doesn't promote Socialism in this country Michael is against.
