\ Donā€™t you mean the ā€˜Charleston Hard-Onā€™, that well-known affliction of young men in the 1920ā€™s glimpsing a hint of upper thigh as their partners had a gay jiggle to the toons of the day ? \ ---

Getting ready for the Youth Uprising or Return of Geronimo has nothing to do with why I own a gun . If some douchebag breaks into my home and threatens my family in any way , itā€™ll be much easier to shoot them as opposed to beating them to death with a Gun Control pamphlet . ---

> [@](#): > > Iā€™ve never heard that before, and Iā€™d like to learn more about it. You have an inerest in collecting propaganda glurge? You have not heard it before because it is simply not true. The Japanese were headed South (toward Indochina, Malaysia, and Indonesia) and attacking the U.S. was only intended to get the U.S. to leave them free to complete their conquests. They never had a plan to invade the U.S. and every Japanese officer with an IQ greater than 60 knew they had neither the army nor the industrial capacity to take on the U.S. _military_ on U.S. soil. The story was originally written as a ā€œconversationā€ between a U.S. officer and a Japanese officer 15 years after the war and has now become ā€œdiscovered documents,ā€ but the reality is the same: it is an invention of a U.S. gun nut looking to create propaganda. (And I use the phrase gun nut advisably, since I support the standard interpretations of the 2d Amendment.) ---
