re: what I'm saying is that you can't trust ordinary citizens to be responsible with firearms...

We do! It's in the constitution, and I'm all for it. The primary original reason is so that people can defend themselves from their own government.

...yet you can trust totalitarian regimes with nuclear weapons, especially those that starve their people or think that Israel ought to be wiped off the map.

Every President has tried to keep NK from getting nukes, regardless of the partisan barbs. Nobody Dem or Rep "trusted" NK with nukes (strawman). You can argue about strategy, but you can't argue about motivation.

Bottom line is it happened on the Bush watch, 6 1/2 years into his admin. Rail against Clinton or Carter or whoever, but it is what it is.

JF, what I'm saying is that you can't trust ordinary citizens to be responsible with firearms, yet you can trust totalitarian regimes with nuclear weapons, especially those that starve their people or think that Israel ought to be wiped off the map.

What do you think jong kim is going to do.......sell his nuke to terrorists?
