Today the NRA called and asked for my support. First I had to listen to a short blurb from the NRA President. He was concerned about the D.C. 2nd Amendment Supreme Court Ruling and another upcoming decision about gun shows. The audio blurb ended and I was connected with a member who started to explain to me how my guns will be taken away. I got pissed when he said Obama was a threat to my gun ownership. I asked how Obama was planning to take my guns away, and he said "Obama supported legeslation that banned unlicensed gun sales at gun shows. Now I was hot. I have donated money off and on over the years to the NRA, my daughters went to gun safety classes sponsered by the NRA. The NRA has a wealth of knowledge on gun safety and that should be treasured. BUT........

Why are we having trials for P.O.W.s? I understand trials for principals that plotted and carried out a civilian attack on U.S. soil. But why are we holding and torturing soldiers that fought against us? Isn't that what a soldier does, no matter what side he is on? Don't they kill their enemies? The Dolittle Raid resulted in Japanese trials that outraged the U.S.

I thought when you win a war, the P.O.W.s were repatriated. Just like Sydney McSame. We kinda won years ago.
