Thanks.
Note that the figure is more like 18 million for Germany.
In China it may have been as many as 50 million.
In Cambodia it was almost 1 out of every 3 people.
All leftists, naturally.

Here in Arizona, Gun control means "use both hands"! We'd sure like to keep it that way!

Yes, people often forget that. 12 million Jews and 6 million "others". Others include gays, blacks, twins, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, gypsies, and probably some other groups I'm forgetting.

Being Armenian and not having the chance to know my great grandparents due to them being murdered by the Turks, and being a life member of the NRA you can understand where my feeling are on this subject.
I can go on for hours on the subject, but I would just bore you guys and piss me off!!!
