Talking about guns in Afganistan.  Ok, did or did not the talaban disarm people?  
Got some sources for me to use?
doing this on the Chicago Trib message board.
Thanks

I don't have stats...but I have yet to see a picture of an armed Afghan woman...

Totalitarian regimes never allow the citizenry to be armed. Except for Isreal, all other middle east nations have restricted firearms possession to officers of the state.

My pop was raised in Iraq and migrated here long ago because he saw that things, and people, were pretty much out of control (I'm speaking in general terms here - not everybody's bad). He's consistently said that once the rights/fact of firearms possession are lost, you've lost all of your rights to the benevolence of the state, if not all at once. And you know how it goes with absolute power.[(:)][BD][>(][(:)]
