As have there been many people struck by lightning. And compared to the ammount of falsly convicted people, the lightning strikes win by a longshot. It not an overstatement it's a FACT. look it up.

That is partially correct. But what is not being accounted for is the long-term strain placed on prison facilities. When that factors in, execution is much more cost effective. That's the problem with the current system. It needs to be streemlined to accomodate execution more efficiently and accurately.

Those instances are EXTREMELY rare. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than being falsely convicted.

The only reason people have never tried to do it is because a gun confiscation has never happened. If the government did try such a thing I can assure you it would be more than "the extreme fringes" fighting them. I am aware that the government is not going to confiscate my guns. The point of this debate is hypothetical. "if they WERE to confiscate guns". No need to get upset over a technicallity.l

You have no way of knowing that a significant amount of people wouldn't take up arms against the government if they tried to confiscate our guns. Give a FACT. Not your own delusional opinion.

It puts a lot of strain on the prison systems and they aren't always held there like they should be. Execution makes more financial sense if it's done correctly.

Google it, ask a historian, ask an 80 year-old japanese person... It's common knowledge. "During the 1930s, the military established almost complete control over the government. Many political enemies were assassinated, and communists persecuted. Indoctrination and censorship in education and media were further intensified. Navy and army officers soon occupied most of the important offices, including the one of the prime minister. " aka brainwashing.

It's unfair to say that the government would always win such a fight. It depends on how many Americans decide to fight them. If half the population rises up against the government, they're not going to win. And if the government was facing even a tenth of the American population threatening a gunfight, I think they would reconsider their decision. That's an awful lot of people.

I think it is wrong if for no other reason than it perverts society. I agree with freedom of expression, and legally, not much can be done to stop the production of pornography. But I am a big believer in the founding fathers of this nation, and I think if they had known how certain freedoms have been perverted and bent out of shape, they'd be rolling in their graves.

One thing you need to understand about the Japanese is that they were just as brainwashed as the Nazis. If we had invaded instead to try to avoid civilian casualties, eventually even the civilians would be drafted to fight. In their system, there were no civilians. they were brainwash victims.
