You do know automatic weapons are illegal, so I can assume you made a typical error and are not outright lying. Seems like all the bs from Obama and democrats about wanting more gun control has done far more inflaming then anything Cruz says.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
