Oh, you mean the drone attacks that were started by the CIA in 2004, when Bush was president?
I don't disagree that those are nasty, but if you're going to start playing the blame game, let's make sure everyone gets his fair share.

I'm not sure why you brought that up...
It doesn't damage my case. I'm not a Republican whatsoever. Now, if you give a shit which bureaucrat murdered a bunch of children, be my guest. It doesn't give any of them the right to take away my guns as they murder people. No moral high ground.
The current administration has plans to limit my guns and its based on hypocrisy. This administration loves using guns just as much as the prior administration.

Technically, they aren't using guns. It's apples and oranges. I'd agree that we need to get the hell out of Afghanistan, but that has nothing to do whatsoever with the gun issue in the US.

What countries do we need to be protected from? We haven't been in a war to protect our borders in a little over 200 years.

Yes, it does.
The point is that the government uses guns and regularly murders people, not only in war but in every day life. Every law requires force of guns. Any banning of weapons to prevent force is inherently hypocritical by the government. The government is force incarnate.
