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.

There was an article posted on LP at some point within the last couple of years which claimed that the Iraqi people had more weapons per capita than the people of the United States do. IIRC these weapons included access to fully automatic weapons, RPG's, grenade launchers, grenades, etc.

I don't know how true the story was, but I do not remember anyone arguing over the information given in the article. Instead the debate was over whether or not the Iraqi's people's access to weapons gave them the abilty to overthrow Saddam had they chose to, and whether or not it even made a difference.

Hi Christine. I just seen this post. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I'm afraid that day all I had time for was a "hit -n-run." This is the busy time of the year for my businesses and although I usually have time to check up and read an article or two, I rarely have time to post. It will be like this for the summer, although with the gas prices rising, things may slow down some.
