Small gun, the serious protection you need ...
 
Let the Record show that Gray Guest on or
about Fri, 30 Sep 2011 03:12:24 +0000 (UTC) did write, type or
otherwise cause to appear in talk.politics.guns the following:

The "professionals" only prevail if you fight them on their terms.

Has no one heard of Sun Tzu?

'The art of war'
old Chinese philosophy of government.

But anyhow: there is a difference between a person and a country.

I have trouble to understand the idea, that people think, they have to
defend themselves against the own government.


I take it then you're not a student of history?

I mean, not only with words, but with real guns. Ain't these
professionals the own soldiers? How could soldiers even consider to
fight against their own people?


I accept this as confirmation you know next to nothing about history.

They get brainwashed, for sure. But even zombies on drugs would
remember, were they came from. Or is that about money? Well, 'rip off
the pharao' was the favourite game of the Egyptian 'priests'.

Or are there religious motives?



Considering what an education costs today, WTF are they teaching? A good
case of malpractice and/or deceptive practices lurks here.

**** that. This is a much better weapon.

http://www.ruger.com/products/sp101/index.html

Five shots, better reload time, much more accurate.

Leave it to Johnny Kook to pick a POS like a Bond Arms 2 shot.

Dozens of better guns out there.

Depends on what you're after.

On a shot per shot basis, the .410 is going to deliver more to
target.

effectively ten 30 caliber pellets to target in the time it takes
to pull the trigger twice.

A .410 handgun round contains 8 or 9 pellets if it is a #4 shot.

That's about right, the problem is you lose space because the
pellets are staggered. Thus a lot of the shell capacity is empty
air.

It
contains 3 pellets if it is 000 which is approximately .36 caliber.

Maybe a few brands, but if you look around even in 2.5" you can get
4 pellets.

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...ctNumber=53316
6

and in 3" (which I believe I mentioned somewhere) you get 5 pellets.

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=170759

and .36 matches up nicely with the .357 caliber of the .38 and .357.


A
12ga shoots about 9 pellets in 00.

Again, with the 12, you lose capacity because the pellets are
staggered.

In the .410 they are neatly lined up, making maximum use of the
available space.

Use a buffered shot and you will get a nice tight group at close
ranges.

Whereas the Ruger is going to take 5 trigger pulls, a reload, and
than another 5 trigger pulls.

Nope. Go back and revisit the .410 load fired by a Judge.

Are you talking the regular Judge or the 3" Judge?


Both seem to contain the same number of pellets in 000. The
difference is in the powder charge, apparently.


Check the links given. You can get 5 pellets in a 3" shell, and 4 in a
2.5" shell.


See yesterday's statement further down.

One gives you 4 pellets of triple aught, the other gives you 5.


Not per wiki.


Midway sells them.

Maybe wiki is wrong?

There, corrected it for you. 2.5" shell holds 4, not 3

per
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=533166

The Bondarm's Century 2000 derringer, the gun under discussion,
accepts up to a 3" .410 shell.

Hence the 5 pellets discussed.


Perhaps of 00.......but the heavy load mentioned was 000.


Yep, and as cited above in a 3" shell even according to wiki it's 5
pellets of 000


Not nine as originally stated. That was the reason I mentioned 12ga.

Of course, you could also load in a .410 with 5 pellets of 0000 buck
(0.375). Of course, you're probably going to need to mail order
those, and I think only a few manufacturers even make them.

:-)

That's not to say that one is a better gun than the other, but as
in so much it depends on what you're looking for it to do.

Also the .410 loading is generally reported to have a fairly high
1 shot stop percentage, since you are usually effectively hitting
the target multiple times in 1 shot.

Three, if all impact and you are shooting 000 buck.

Actually even if more than 1 hit, you will still be hitting the
target multiple times. :-)


Same with two trigger pulls on an SP-101.


Yea, but 2 trigger pulls take longer than 1.


Yes, but not as long as one trigger pull, a search for the damn gun...and
another trigger pull.....if one is up to it. Those derringers have a very
nasty recoil and not much to hang on to.

However, if that's the case, odds are you didn't hit much of
consequence unless you're talking the head.


Both at close range would be effective to center mass....the edge
going to the .410.


Simply my point, the .410 derringer isn't automatically unsuitable as
Dudu asserted.


You still pay attention to his claims?

You need to fire
both barrels in a Bond 2 shot to equal the number of rounds in an
SP-101.

Uh, an SP-101 in .38/.357 only holds 5 rounds. That's equal to the
number of pellets of triple or quad aught buck in a 3" shell.


Again, not per wiki on the .410 shotshell. Anyway, I have three
SP-101s (as you can tell, I hate them), two in .357 and one in
.327Federal. The latter holds six rounds.


True, but Dudu cited the .38/.357

Again, my comments weren't intended to address all the possible
combinations, only to challenge Dudu's immediate dismissal of the
derringer and the assertion that the SP101 would be drastically better
for self defense.


See above statement on Dudu's veracity....

So you would have to fire until empty, reload, and then empty again,
your SP101 to get an equal number of lead pieces headed downrange to
match those produced by 2 pulls of the Bond's trigger.

:-)


Not going to argue with you. You can see what wiki says as well as I
can.


Yep, and in this case it was wrong. Which is why I provided the cites
above for you.


Fair enough.......I have, as mentioned, three of the SP-101s and none of
the derringers.....although a friend of mine has about 10 of them. He
isn't thrilled about shooting them either. ;)

Based on reports and testing, the rounds that produce the best one
shot stops are those that produce a nice hydrostatic shock wave in
the blood pressure that effectively shuts down the brain for a
period of time. Now that's not to say they are going to stay down,
only that they are going to drop on the first shot and stay down
for a bit. Shotguns do this quite effectively since they tend to
dump a large part of their energy to a broad section of the body
inducing such a hydrostatic shock. This, of course, depends upon a
reasonably direct impact to center mass.

So it all depends on your preferences, choices, and so on.

This is true.

My biggest objection would be the weight of the piece which IMO
makes it less of a carry piece. On the other hand it's flat which
again IMO makes it easier to conceal than a revolver.

True with the Bond derringer, not so with a Taurus Judge or the
S&W.

Well, I wasn't intending this to be an in-depth review of all the
variations, only contesting Dudu's immediate and apparently
arbitrary dismissal of the Century 2000 as being unsuitable for self
defense, and challenging each of his talking points to establish
that.


Dudu tends to run off half cocked over anything you say or suggest so
I don't pay much attention to him on those points. What got me going
was mention of the SP-101. It is one of the things he and I agree
on. It is an excellent gun.


It is, and I'm not challenging that. I'm simply challenging his
dismissal of the derringer as something far worse.


About the only point that was really valid was the accuracy issue,
but at self defense ranges a gun doesn't need to be particularly
accurate hence my noting it as pretty much a moot point.


Fair enough.


I thought so.

Honestly, after several years of looking at derringers and some
of the absurd calibers they come in, I find it hard to fault the
choice of any lightweight J frame. The more serious calibers are
often as wide and nearly
as long and always weigh more. Mine hides very well and while
reloading isn't really an issue at close range (IMO) reloading a
derringer can be
a
PITA. I bought some Speed Strips and I can carry the J-Frame and
2 Speed strips very comfortably. I really only would carry it if
the 908 or G-19 was impractical for some reason, though.

Different strokes for different folks. Doesn't mean a derringer in
.410
is
the automatically bad choice Dudu tried to assert.

You have your preferences, I have mine, Dudu has his, and John has
his.

But a .410 is a proven performer.



Undoubtedly, I have merely stated my preference.

Dogmatism amongst gun owners is amusing and frequently annoying.
Especially
when paired with innaccurate information. 8)

Which I think is the point I'm trying to make. We all have
preferences, and just because John has one preference and Dudu
another, doesn't justify his assertion that this derringer isn't
suitable.



Well, would you truly expect Doodoo to be rational or even courteous
about anything?


A very valid point, I will grant you.



I assume you guys have noticed that he has deserted the thread. ;)

match those produced by 2 pulls of the Bond's trigger.

:-)

Not going to argue with you. You can see what wiki says as well as I
can.


Yep, and in this case it was wrong. Which is why I provided the cites
above for you.


Fair enough.......I have, as mentioned, three of the SP-101s and none of
the derringers.....although a friend of mine has about 10 of them. He
isn't thrilled about shooting them either. ;)


Oh, I agree they aren't a pleasure to shoot....but generally you're not
shooting them for enjoyment.

Based on reports and testing, the rounds that produce the best one
shot stops are those that produce a nice hydrostatic shock wave in
the blood pressure that effectively shuts down the brain for a
period of time. Now that's not to say they are going to stay down,
only that they are going to drop on the first shot and stay down
for a bit. Shotguns do this quite effectively since they tend to
dump a large part of their energy to a broad section of the body
inducing such a hydrostatic shock. This, of course, depends upon a
reasonably direct impact to center mass.

So it all depends on your preferences, choices, and so on.

This is true.

My biggest objection would be the weight of the piece which IMO
makes it less of a carry piece. On the other hand it's flat which
again IMO makes it easier to conceal than a revolver.

True with the Bond derringer, not so with a Taurus Judge or the
S&W.

Well, I wasn't intending this to be an in-depth review of all the
variations, only contesting Dudu's immediate and apparently
arbitrary dismissal of the Century 2000 as being unsuitable for self
defense, and challenging each of his talking points to establish
that.

Dudu tends to run off half cocked over anything you say or suggest so
I don't pay much attention to him on those points. What got me going
was mention of the SP-101. It is one of the things he and I agree
on. It is an excellent gun.


It is, and I'm not challenging that. I'm simply challenging his
dismissal of the derringer as something far worse.


About the only point that was really valid was the accuracy issue,
but at self defense ranges a gun doesn't need to be particularly
accurate hence my noting it as pretty much a moot point.

Fair enough.


I thought so.

**** that. This is a much better weapon.

http://www.ruger.com/products/sp101/index.html

Five shots, better reload time, much more accurate.

Leave it to Johnny Kook to pick a POS like a Bond Arms 2
shot.

Dozens of better guns out there.

Depends on what you're after.

On a shot per shot basis, the .410 is going to deliver more to
target.

effectively ten 30 caliber pellets to target in the time it
takes to pull the trigger twice.

A .410 handgun round contains 8 or 9 pellets if it is a #4
shot.

That's about right, the problem is you lose space because the
pellets are staggered. Thus a lot of the shell capacity is empty
air.

It
contains 3 pellets if it is 000 which is approximately .36
caliber.

Maybe a few brands, but if you look around even in 2.5" you can
get 4 pellets.

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...roductNumber=5
3316 6

and in 3" (which I believe I mentioned somewhere) you get 5
pellets.

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=170759

and .36 matches up nicely with the .357 caliber of the .38 and
.357.


A
12ga shoots about 9 pellets in 00.

Again, with the 12, you lose capacity because the pellets are
staggered.

In the .410 they are neatly lined up, making maximum use of the
available space.

Use a buffered shot and you will get a nice tight group at close
ranges.

Whereas the Ruger is going to take 5 trigger pulls, a reload,
and
than
another 5 trigger pulls.

Nope. Go back and revisit the .410 load fired by a Judge.

Are you talking the regular Judge or the 3" Judge?

One gives you 4 pellets of triple aught, the other gives you 5.

The Bondarm's Century 2000 derringer, the gun under discussion,
accepts up to a 3" .410 shell.

Hence the 5 pellets discussed.

Of course, you could also load in a .410 with 5 pellets of 0000
buck (0.375). Of course, you're probably going to need to mail
order those, and I think only a few manufacturers even make
them.

:-)

That's not to say that one is a better gun than the other, but
as in so much it depends on what you're looking for it to do.

Also the .410 loading is generally reported to have a fairly
high 1 shot stop percentage, since you are usually effectively
hitting the target multiple times in 1 shot.

Three, if all impact and you are shooting 000 buck.

Actually even if more than 1 hit, you will still be hitting the
target multiple times. :-)

However, if that's the case, odds are you didn't hit much of
consequence
unless you're talking the head.


You need to fire
both barrels in a Bond 2 shot to equal the number of rounds in
an SP-101.

Uh, an SP-101 in .38/.357 only holds 5 rounds. That's equal to
the number of pellets of triple or quad aught buck in a 3"
shell.

So you would have to fire until empty, reload, and then empty
again, your SP101 to get an equal number of lead pieces headed
downrange to match those produced by 2 pulls of the Bond's
trigger.

:-)

About the only point that was really valid was the accuracy
issue, but at self defense ranges a gun doesn't need to be
particularly accurate hence my noting it as pretty much a moot
point.






Honestly, after several years of looking at derringers and some
of the absurd calibers they come in, I find it hard to fault the
choice of any lightweight J frame. The more serious calibers are
often as wide and nearly
as long and always weigh more. Mine hides very well and while
reloading isn't really an issue at close range (IMO) reloading a
derringer can be
a
PITA. I bought some Speed Strips and I can carry the J-Frame and
2 Speed strips very comfortably. I really only would carry it if
the 908 or G-19 was impractical for some reason, though.

Different strokes for different folks. Doesn't mean a derringer in
.410
is
the automatically bad choice Dudu tried to assert.

You have your preferences, I have mine, Dudu has his, and John has
his.

But a .410 is a proven performer.



Undoubtedly, I have merely stated my preference.

Dogmatism amongst gun owners is amusing and frequently annoying.
Especially
when paired with innaccurate information. 8)

Which I think is the point I'm trying to make. We all have
preferences, and just because John has one preference and Dudu
another, doesn't justify his assertion that this derringer isn't
suitable.



Well, would you truly expect Doodoo to be rational or even courteous
about anything?


A very valid point, I will grant you.



I assume you guys have noticed that he has deserted the thread. ;)


He usually does when he getting bitch slapped hard enough.

Because
1) They didn't go there in large enough numbers to control the whole
country
2) They were sent to take out a specific warlord
3) They project was undermanned and poorly planned by the powers that be

Iraq was a multiple level play
a) limit and ultimately get rid of Saddam
b) Send a message to Iran and others that they are NOT invulnerable
because they are far from the US
c) an opportunity to destroy a whole bunch of jihadists
d) curb local mullahs
e) Come to the aid of the Kurds and southern Iraqis who were being
massacred wholesale by Saddam.
Just to name a few...



Actually the Kurds had more problems with the Turks, which is a country
the Americans support.

You can read a lot of stuff, and it is good, indeed, the sum total of
what any individual is, is based, mainly, on what they have learned from
the world and others.

However, some point along your educations, after you have crossed over
the very simple, been wham-boggled by the overly complex, and had the
con men of the world teach you their lessons ... you finally have a
complete enough picture to be able to create a model of the world in
your mind.

For me, there are some very simple and basic truths, they were all
available early on, but I could not see their importance ... now the fog
is beginning to clear ...

Family is important ... today, more important than ever, and with the
droves of children removed from their families, used as a source of
income for foster families and then dumped, in many cases like trash,
out on street with no support, this becomes staggeringly apparent --
indeed, we have created a whole army of these "citizens" to now fill our
prisons -- and far into the future -- and we continue to do so at an
alarming rate.

Friends are important, and in a world full of morons, imbeciles and
idiots, never has the importance been more apparent. My grandmother
once said to me that if, over the course of a lifetime, you were able to
gather a mere small handful of friends, you were fortunate beyond belief
.... I am embarrassed I took exception with her wisdom, back then ...

The realization that no less than this planet, the trees, the stars, the
oceans, etc. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE! Your creator provided land,
water, food, resources for you, to support your life, the family you
would create, the rights for you to enjoy, the diversions to entertain
you ... but, evil men and women were created to prevent you from
enjoying your birth rights -- and it is a forever battle and takes your
commitment to ensure you secure these, for yourself, your family, your
friends, etc.

Today, there are strong attempts by criminals, and even by criminals in
high places who illegal hold positions which were created to look out
for people, to help and assist people, to push further the betterment of
mankind, his pursuits, his rewards, the quality of his life, etc.
Indeed, these institutions which were created by man, for man have now
taken on a seeming life of their own -- they now attempt to enslave
other groups of men, to control other groups of men -- even down to the
control of others thoughts, actions and activities -- they now carry the
actions of criminals because they are being run by criminals.

As you get caught up in the complexities, plans, schemes, contrivances,
aspirations, goals, etc. of other men, it is easy to loose a grip on
what is real, what is important, what has real meaning ... the time has
simply come for men who have fallen asleep to awaken, to claim what is
theirs, to do the right thing, and to restore sanity to an insane world
.... actually, these are the best of times to live in, exciting, and like
I have said, a time when there is ample opportunity of men of great
worth and caliber to step forward and become the type of heroes which
are immortalized in history ... each waking day advances us one small
step towards the time of real men, again ...

(Sorry, but I do not understand, what you want. Maybe it's a question of

I didn't understand, what the US forces wanted to achieve in Somalia.
Maybe something like aid (for whom ??). Somehow they didn't get what
they came for (my guess), but I don't know, what that was.

In any case Somalia was (and is) an extreme case of 'third world' and
these 'war lords' had no real army. The greatest thread was - maybe- a
Toyota pick-up with a AK47 mounted on top.

Somehow the US forces managed to loose a few of their high-tech
helicopters, because they were shot down. (with bow and arrow?)

Then the US lost interest in that country and left it, worse then before.

So: where is the 'aid'? and what is the benefit for America from this
adventure?

It is hard to believe how these people could be a thread to the US
military, since there wasn't even a government, hence no real army -
only tribal forces with not much more than a self-made mortar.

'Strawman' ? The translation 'Strohmann' in German is a person, that

Well, Somalia is larger than you think and is full of deserts and
mountains. It could be real hard to find a certain individual,
especially since they don't use all these electronic gadgets,
individuals could usually be identified with.
But you don't want to tell me, the US army/navy/air force went there, to
find a specific war lord. (?)

Why do you have to demonstrate such abyssal ignorance
And since you are so ignorant, maybe you should stop making stupid

Huh? The SP-101 is a relatively heavy gun for a snubbie. That is one of

really should stay away from any of the Scandiums from S&W, or the

by the third round are looking for the exit. ;)

To me, there are several poly semi autos in 9mm that the recoil in is
heavier than an SP-101 in .357 Mag. Hell, the SP-101 in .327 Federal

But - for example- what kind of benefit do you expect from the
invasion of Afghanistan, Somalia, Irak? It always ends like Vietnam:
with a lot of dead soldiers and no real gain.


Afghanistan was to attack and destabilize the Taliban
At the time, becoming a major force force in creating radical
Islamofascists.
Somalia was at the time supposed to be an aid mission that was badly
planned and executed

Somalia was one of the poorest countries of the world in that time.
The Americans managed to make things even worse, since now there are
pirates from that country, that threaten the ships coming from the
Suez Canal.


Really
And naturally, other than making a fatuous and unsubstantiated claim,
you can provide a CAUSAL explanation to support that claim ?


(Sorry, but I do not understand, what you want. Maybe it's a question of
language. But could you please repeat your question with some other

words.)

I didn't understand, what the US forces wanted to achieve in Somalia.
Maybe something like aid (for whom ??). Somehow they didn't get what
they came for (my guess), but I don't know, what that was.

In any case Somalia was (and is) an extreme case of 'third world' and
these 'war lords' had no real army. The greatest thread was - maybe- a
Toyota pick-up with a AK47 mounted on top.

Somehow the US forces managed to loose a few of their high-tech
helicopters, because they were shot down. (with bow and arrow?)

Then the US lost interest in that country and left it, worse then before.

So: where is the 'aid'? and what is the benefit for America from this
adventure?

It is hard to believe how these people could be a thread to the US
military, since there wasn't even a government, hence no real army -
only tribal forces with not much more than a self-made mortar.


Your stupid strawman
I'll leave you to feed it..


??? What ???
'Strawman' ? The translation 'Strohmann' in German is a person, that
pretends to be an independent individual, but is secretly a puppet for
somebody else (hidden).
'Your strawman' would mean, I had somebody in control????

Why did the US forces failed to create at least a little bit stability?


Because
1) They didn't go there in large enough numbers to control the whole
country
2) They were sent to take out a specific warlord
3) They project was undermanned and poorly planned by the powers that be
4) They then ran into a serious problem (Blackhawk Down)
5) The politicians then got cold feet and pulled out..

Well, Somalia is larger than you think and is full of deserts and
mountains. It could be real hard to find a certain individual,
especially since they don't use all these electronic gadgets,
individuals could usually be identified with.
But you don't want to tell me, the US army/navy/air force went there, to
find a specific war lord. (?)

Why do you have to demonstrate such abyssal ignorance
And since you are so ignorant, maybe you should stop making stupid
allegations about what happened and what followed.


sorry, but this thread is a bit out of my usual range of subjects and
meandered somewhere even more remote. But I don't think my statements
are that wrong. But if you are interested, I can do a little bit of
research.

the complaints about it. If you think it is vicious in recoil, you
really should stay away from any of the Scandiums from S&W, or the
titaniums from Taurus. Keep in mind that in those light guns, most folks
shooting .357 Mags, fire once, think "Holy ****!!", fire another time and
by the third round are looking for the exit. ;)

To me, there are several poly semi autos in 9mm that the recoil in is
heavier than an SP-101 in .357 Mag. Hell, the SP-101 in .327 Federal
feels like a fart compared to a windstorm. ;)


Sp-101 is the shot, is it not? The 5 shot .357 is what I shot. Maybe it was
the grips. I like recoil but to much is enough.

And I looked at the Scandiums and almost coughed up a lung laughing. I have

empty.

Yeah but the .38, even the +P don't seem as vigorous as .357. Maybe it was
the rounds we were shooting. I have a 2.5" M-19 (old FBI trade in form when
they went to the 10mm, very slick) that is easy to shoot even with hot loads.
It has Pachmyar RB grips though. I really think it is about the grips in a
lot of cases.

I'm kinda funny about what I'll carry though. The guns i do carry have been
flawless or very easily adjusted by myself. Anything to untoward I get
uncomfortable. Had a Taurus 85CH. Great gun. Firing pin broke. Even though
they fized it under warranty and I'm sure it was fine I just couldn't put it
in my pocket again. Ended up selling it.

Same thing with the 101. Bad first impression makes me less likely to go back
for more. Not saying it's a bad gun, enough people swear by them. It's just
personal preference.

Self abuse is supposed to be pleasureable, isn't it? 8)

I had a Super Blackhawk in .44 Mag. You know the one with the squared trigger
guard? I loved it until the first session at the range. The damn corner tore
the Hell outta my knuckles. I was holdling it right, it's just the way it
recoiled.

OTOH my wife has the Ruger Mk II. Love it. Great to shoot. And my heavy
barrel 10/22? It's indecent how much I love that thing. I have to watch when
I shooting it because I can go through a LOT of .22 in an afternoon, it's
such a pleasure to shoot.

I use steel plate swingers and just try to keep 'em moving so I don't have to
worry about changing out paper targets. Man it's a blast!

I have three......a New Model Blackhawk, a Colt SAA, and a Taurus 445. I
also have one .44Mag, a Sporting Arms, Inc Seville Sheriff's model. I
carried the Taurus for a long time. I also had and sold two Rossi 720Cs.
Excellent guns. Smooth trigger in operation but I didn't like the feel

other. Got too good an offer for them.

It's not but both of the guns I mentioned there are available as .357s.
Additionally, just 'cause one has a .357, it doesn't make it that you
must shoot .357s in it. I know several folks with .357 snubbies who
carry .38 spl +P or +P+ in them.

Maybe it

Grips make a big difference. My 445 didn't come with the Ribber grip
that Taurus makes but it can be added. That Ribber grip does come with
the titanium model, just not the steel one.

I'm kinda funny about what I'll carry though. The guns i do carry have

it means well.

And how many wars did the Euros start and fight during that time ?
And how many Euros are particularly proud or happy about those wars


You are right and Europeans fought even more wars than the USA,
especially the UK, that holds the unofficial award for the most
militaristic society on the planet.

(Personally I think, that Hitler was an English spy, but that is my
personal opinion only. Another is, that England regards the USA as a
colony and uses its military to perform a few more invasions. )

The big difference in the great majority of wars where the US got
involved are
1) It was to help someone else
2) It was to avoid someone else becoming the victim of statists
There never was any guarantee that ALL of such attempts would be 100 %
well executed or successful.
But unlike countries like yours, the US has a far better record than
anyone else.


Yes, agreed. The USA usually win wars - but looses the peace. That seems
to be a general pattern, that I do not understand.


You see, the subject of this thread were small arms and how they could

I'm sure all those Jews, gypsies, and others whom the German government
exterminated felt safe and secure in Germany right before it happened
There are tales of many people, who later ended in camps, who felt that
it just couldn't happen to them



I do not want to justify the crimes of the German government in the so
called 3rd Reich. Germany lost the war and was almost totally destroyed.

Then the Nazis have left Germany, mainly in the direction of South
America. But a god part went to the USA. These Nazis are dangerous
people, especially to their host.


Only fools who have learned nothing from history would actually trust
and keep trusting governments
Governments are tools to serve people
But to often in the past, the tables were turned and the people ended up
serving the few who controlled government.


No, I don't agree. In a democracy the government is 'We, the people...'.
These governments should never be a thread to their own people. That
seems to be an American speciality, that we don't have in Germany.
