Condi Rice: No guns

Condoleeza Rice, what any democratic state would insist upon:

But clearly, the prime minister has laid down some ground rules which any functioning democratic state would insist upon, having to do with, you know, arms belonging to the state, not to -- not in private hands

This would put her to the left of most, if not all, prominent Democrats.

To be fair, I think this quote is taken slightly out of context. Rice is specifically talking about military force being in the hands of a central government, not armed militias, which is quite different from the gun control issues we face in America.

Yea... I know.

I was more being a smart ass than anything else.

Of course, I would argue that an armed militia is EXACTLY what the "right to bear arms" was referring to, and is exactly what Rice is speaking against.

The 2nd Amendment is all about hunting and since I don't think they have white tail deer or turkeys in Iraq then the population has no right to bear arms
