A remarkably rational article, despite being on DailyKos

[unixronin]

Liberals love the Constitution.  They especially love the Bill of Rights.  They love all the Amendments.

Except for one: the Second Amendment.

[... large snip here ...]

This is an appeal to every liberal who never wants to lose another election to Republicans because they [Democrats] have successfully persuaded the voters that Democrats will take their guns away.

(Clarification in the last sentence mine.  In context, it's completely clear, but out of context, may be ambiguous.)

Oh, and the Afghans got a lot of help from NATO.

Of course, if the Soviets had overrun Afghanistan, the old rifles and bombs might have been a successful insurgeny, like we see in Iraq today.
