[edit] "Furthermore, when the Indian government passed the 1959 Arms Act and the supplemental Arms Rules of 1962 strictly limiting the rights of citizens to own firearms, Gandhi showed no interest in protesting or speaking out"
Not especially shocking. He was dead at the time, pinhead. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.

- If I made a mistake, show some courtesy and simply point it out and edit it as need be. I didn't do anything to deserve insult from you. Also, just to let you know it was the Arms Act of 1878 I meant to mention, not the 1959 revision. Not that it matters anyway. I think the page now soundly reflects what an ignorant, hypocritical person Kokesh is that I don't think his inability to understand history, especially Gandhi's true stances on firearms, is necessary anymore. 207.47.69.182 14:13, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, so you meant to mention the arms act of 1878, and to say that Gandhi "showed no interest in protesting or speaking out." In 1878 Gandhi was 9 years old, and probably not yet a leading political voice, so, again, not especially shocking. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.

- I'm aware the act was still in effect and remained so until his death. Obviously he was never vocal on the issue of firearms until he served in the Ambulance corps when he got older. In regards to the act he said "A rifle this hand will never fire.” That was from a WWI pamphlet. That was the only time he did according to my research and said nothing major about guns after that. He'd said his peace on the matter. After that he focused his efforts on non-violent disobedience which, correct me if I'm wrong, never ever involved firearms: a fact gun nuts like Kokesh often overlook. Their failure to fully comprehend Gandhi's stances on gun is an inadvertent admission they lack any understanding of Gandhi and his views on guns. That's what I was attempting to point out though I think the page of Kokesh is adequate enough as it stands to point on the man's insanity.207.47.69.182 15:39, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
