Title: Question For BeAChooser

BeAChooser, there is something I have been wondering about, something few seem to talk about, yet I find it very odd.

When Saddam was in power, the Iraqi people owned lots of guns, all kinds of weapons, in fact they were encouraged to. They had quite a gun culture and as we know during celebrations they would shoot their guns into the air and such.

What I want to know is how is it that a brutal dictator would allow his citizens to have all sorts of weapons including automatic weapons, probably more than we are allowed to have in this country?

Please don't accuse me of being a Saddam-lover, I am far from that, I just find this very curious and would like an explanation, if there is one. Since you seem to have all the answers I decided you would know the answer to this too.

Are you trying to suggest he wasn't a brutal dictator, Diana?

Because I'm afraid you won't get very far basing anything on that claim.

You will only end up discrediting yourself.

But as to your question ... perhaps your assertion is wrong?

http://www.marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2003/09/did_iraqis_own_.html "In March, Neil MacFarquhar of the New York Times asserted that guns were easy and legal to obtain in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. ... snip ... Today, however, John Tierney of the New York Times reports that "Mr. Hussein, never one to tolerate competition, forbade private citizens to carry weapons, effectively outlawing the security industry."

By the way, if what you say were true, one could perhaps claim Saddam's Iraq proves gun rights do not secure liberty. Care to go there?

No, YOU'RE the one making a claim because all I did was ask a question.
