Bet The Media Didn't Show You This!

The legislature of the Central American republic of El Salvador voted to legalize the ownership of semi-automatic rifles on July 2 of this year.

Of course, the media made sure that the discouraging news of gun registration and confiscation in England and Australia were put before us.

But pushing back gun control? That's supposed to be as impossible as Marx's belief that the march of communism could not be stopped.

Manuel Melgar, a legislator in the party made up of former communist guerrillas, argued that nobody needs a rifle to defend himself with.

This was an interesting change of views. Ten years ago, the guerrillas wanted all the rifles they could get. Perhaps they do not want average citizens stocking up on semi-auto rifles (AK-47's, AR-15's, etc.) because it would be that much more difficult for the guerrillas the next time.

Everone deserves the right to defend themselve, and there's, anyway possible!
