But the American people bear a responsibility to protect themselves, against enemies both foreign and domestic. A Japanese general once famously said during World War II, "You could never invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." <br /><br />Besides, Nazi Germany had one of the largest and most expensive militaries in the world as well. Didn't do a very good job protecting its people, did it? The founding fathers of America made it clear that every American has the responsibility to protect themselves, and not rely on the government or the military.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-80988300632577411512018-04-26T18:10:52.319-05:002018-04-26T18:10:52.319-05:00There are over 1/2 million legal abortions per yea...There are over 1/2 million legal abortions per year in the US that are reported to the CDC.

We aren't taking away a mom's chance at life, we are giving the baby a chance at life. My mother's life was endangered when she carried me. She was offered and even encouraged to get an abortion. The doctors told her that only one of us would make it through alive. Well, I'm happy to say that we both made it through. I'm glad that even though she was in danger she chose to give me a chance at life.

How do you not know that she’s not just smiling for the camera, or because she’s enjoying time well spent with her grandchildren? Does the picture of Joseph and Kendra smiling while cutting their wedding cake (with a knife, which kills hundreds of people each year) offend you?

After birth, if she doesn't feel capable of providing care for her child, adoption is an option. Not to mention, for moms who have had an abortion, their suicide rates go up by 133%. MANY moms who have had an abortion feel extreme guilt and hopelessness after an abortion. Making abortion illegal protects babies AND moms.

This is the formula for force on impact. A need dart weighs approximately 0.001 kg, and it travels at around 20m/ on the extreme side. Taking into account a rough target distance based upon the size of the Duggars house, I would assume minimum distance would be aprox 2m. Put it all together and you get an impact force of 0.4kg or 0.88lbs.

It is a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, which like ALL other High Arctic communities is going through severe socio-economic problems. The Inuit are seeing their way of life and culture destroyed, with high rates of substance abuse and self-harming. The same social problems are occurring all across northern communities including Alaska. (Alaska has twice the rate of gun deaths than the rest of the US.) And yes, Greenland has guns, gun ownership is prevalent. They used guns for hunting and protection against polar bears.<br /><br />Compare apples to apples.

We've all grown up around guns. The guns were kept UNLOADED but not locked up. You just knew not to touch them, and none of us ever did until our parents thought we were responsible enough. And we never confused our toy cap guns with the "real" hunting rifles. Kids aren't stupid. We all grew up with a deep respect of guns and the damage they can do; we all have a sense of deep responsibility when handling a gun, and it didn't take a tragic accident to teach us that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-23315236095217409792018-04-24T07:04:19.299-05:002018-04-24T07:04:19.299-05:00Excuse me, but if the children were "unattend...Excuse me, but if the children were "unattended" around guns, who was taking the picture????
