yeah, owning guns will prevent another hitler. good thinking there einstein! |
You seem not to understand
OWNING GUNS WILL PREVENT THE GOVT NOT TO ABUSE THEIR POWER... HOW CAN A GOVT CAUSE FEAR? BY THEIR MILITARY... IF THEY KNOW THAT THEIR CITIZENS HAVE GUNS AND ARE ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES ITS A WHOLE NEW STORY

Well talking about the powers of a president, lets say if he wants to go to war... he has to do it with the consent of the senate ofcourse... but if the senate says no... can he still go to war? YES! He would just have to go before the supreme court.... for example, the duty of the pres is to defend the country... what would happen if he finds out that they want to nuke us... tells congress they say fuk you does he has to obly by it? not exactly, as i said he would just have to go before the us supreme court and explain his action...
well there was an issue going to the NO disaster, the constitution of the US was violated:
"No soldier shall, ."in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law when the disaster happened in New Orleans we werent in war and the govt did not go to a court to obtain permission so soldiers could go into peoples houses, but its still was done but to save lives, trying to get the people trapped out!
But again the constitution was violated, and the govt never got the right permission to go into the houses, because they acted immediately!
You never know if a President can go nuts, a genocide can still happen, if the political climate is there. like it was in Germany, a fucked up economy, makes people show their racist side, and desesperation they elected hitler.
Can that happen in America and any other nation? Yes... If the US gets fucked up, bad economy, bad everything people will go nuts and be desperate and lets say some guy comes a long and says ill bring the US back to greatness but lets get rid of Hispanic, Asians, etc.. with the consent of the American people(assuming that pres is racist) it can be done because the American people approve of it.
Like I said the Holocaust was carried out by the Germans and not the Nazis, dont tell me the german people didnt know wtf was going on
