Not true.

If you commit a crime with a gun it’s a felony. If you are convicted of that crime then you are a felon and can no longer legally obtain a gun.

The only way around this is to get a pardon or an expungement. Both of which are extraordinary difficult to get.

Iraq is a rouge country and their leader has proven that he is an irrational lunatic. Look at the way they wildly lashed out previously by indiscriminately shooting scud missiles into civilian territories and setting oil wells on fire.

We did not finish the job in the gulf war; Saddam Hussein should have been removed from power and put on trial if for nothing else for being an environmental terrorist for ordering the oil wells to be set on fire.

Iraq is a known threat to the USA and harbors a deep seeded hatred for everything American. We absolutely should not sit and wait for another 9-11.

Endlessly cutting a weed will not get rid of it. This time we need to rip it out at the roots and make clean of all this mess.

Seems like it's almost a 50/50 split in opinion.

Sachet: I would love to see a democracy setup in Iraq. I just don't think it's going to happen. The people have to want a democracy...BADLY.. enough that they're willing to risk war, starvation, and potentially the lives of themselves and their families. Now I'm sure some of the Iraqi people would like to see a democratic government, I don't think they want it badly enough. Take India for example.. the US has been trying to aid in the setup of a democratic goverment there. It's only just starting to fall into place these last few years.... after decades of trying, much war/conflict and many personal hardships. And these are people who were crying for a democratic government to begin with...

The people of the US wanted it so badly, they left their homelands, their families, and most of their possesions to travell to the Land of the Free....

I think Iraqi people want a democratic government, they're just afraid to want it. Saddam is a nutcase & they recognize how quickly he could do crazy things.. if he were to get wind that people were beginning to turn against him.
They still have torture chambers *ick*

I didn't realize it was taking the US that long in India.. hmm.

we do need support of the UN. if we dont have it, it meanz many will be against us because we did not wait for support

I'm wondering if the fact that 3 Iraqi scientists refusing to cooperate with the UN inspectors will change a few minds.

I'm all for removing Sadam from power but why doesnt the American govt step in and take care of the the human attrocities that occur in the North Korean camps?

I agree with Iraq and korea. I also think the fuckers going over there as a human shield need there ass blown away too. People ask me if I want to go. No I don't go to war but if nobody goes we will have nothing. They will think we are week and do as they please. They made a mistake by not killing his ass. If they can snipe his ass and be done then do it but I don't think it will end there. There are several people who need to die. And yes Korea needs to be stepped in and came against not just by the US. I don't understand why Canada is giving us a hard time. I guess there is something going on that I don't hear about. If they use their chemicals it will effect you too. There will be bad happen to US too just like before but some of us will have to die in order to protect our families. What are some of your ideas on how to fix this problem without war?

They also aren’t known for producing and supporting religious zealots that think killing innocent non-Muslim people in the name of their god will bring them great glory in heaven.
