Steele Attacks Obama’s Assault Weapons Ban After Previously Calling Such Weapons ‘Overkill’

steele2web2.jpgLate last month, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Obama administration would be seeking to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. “As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons,” Holder said.

RNC chair Michael Steele sent an e-mail to supporters yesterday criticizing the decision and claiming that it is “step one” in the Obama administration’s grand plan to repeal the 2nd Amendment:

The Obama Administration has revealed its intention to reinstate the so-called “assault” gun ban — Step One of their plan to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

Having already taken advantage of our country’s current economic woes to speed the largest, most pork-laden spending spree in history through the Democrat-controlled Congress, the Obama team is again using fear tactics to impose bad policy.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced his desire to once again deny law abiding Americans their 2nd Amendment rights, using the ongoing violence in Mexico as justification.

Of course, Obama does not plan on repealing the 2nd Amendment. In fact, as FactCheck (and Holder) noted, Obama specifically stated during the campaign that he supports it. “Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an individual right, and he respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms,” his campaign said.

But also, Steele’s criticism rings hollow as just two years ago, he stated his opposition to assault weapons, calling them “overkill“:

Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?

STEELE: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. [...] If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.

So does this mean that Steele also wants to repeal the 2nd Amendment?

    – I can’t wait to hear about step 2 of the plan…


  2. Jackie says:

    Steele should go hunting with Dick Cheney, that will take care of that. Cheney will call the shooting a mistake and move on as Drug King Rush Limbaugh will quickly replace the Coward man name Steele.


  3. Hoodathunk says:

    This from the man who recently stated people shouldn’t believe anything the Republicans say?

    Ok, I’m down with that.

    – - Steele sounds as half-hearted as putting a bumper sticker on the inside of the car.


  5. tko says:

    Sounds like a desperate attempt to change the subject from Lemmingbaugh and to rally the NRA for the Republicancers. When Steele’s lips aren’t affixed to Lemmingbaugh’s ass, maybe Steele could offer an opinion on machine guns from the US winding up in Mexican drug cartel hands.


  6. krystalviews says:

    I’m DONE commenting about anything else Steele says. He’s a Moron and he’s idiotic. THAT’S IT – NO MORE.


  7. hanshiro says:

    Leave my assault weapons alone! Why, I c’n fire my initials into every piece ‘o game I aim at ‘fore it hits the ground. I’m proud that the ‘publicans are protecting my right to do that.

    Once…I shot the deer right out from under the antlers. Thass all that was left…jus the antlers…Haw!


  8. Marie says:

    No one is suggesting we repeal the 2nd amendment. Including the duplicitous Mr. Steele.
    Assault weapons have no legitimate use in the US; people in rural areas can own rifles, shotguns and handguns, as can persons in urban communities (although a city residant wanting or needing a rifle is beyond me).
    If there is a good reason to own an assault weapon in the US, I haven’t heard it.
    As for Steele, it should be plain to see that he is like Lieberman in the way that he steps out the door daily to see which way the wind is blowing, and how he may benefit.


  9. curious says:

    Aw look at him. Isn’t that cute? He is trying to be relevant. And simply because he said one thing one time, does not mean he cannot change it on a whim. He goes which ever way the wind blows. He is trying desperately to find an issue with which to run. A way to garner some support from his own party. The easiest way is to attack the President.

    Like most of these right wing hypocrites, he forgets what he says from one time to another. The wonderful thing is there is always someone with a camera or a previous quote. And when it pops up, they still usually deny having said it. It is always something that the left took out of Context.

    Hey fredgar, no need to bring your momma into this…

  14. dasm says:

    It’s truly disturbing that Republicans continue to get the vast majority of the media’s attention. Even here on TP, if you scan the headlines, it’s all about Republicans and their whining, distorting, and smearing. I wish the media would stop reporting on their many lies, bellowings, & scams and give us some real news– facts, truth, research.

    So what’s the advantage of owning an assault weapon?


  17. dbadass says:

    A rocket launcher…


  18. the Lone Voice of Reason says:

    With 6000, no I didn’t accidentally hit the zero key too many times, yes 6000 civis dead in Mexico’s drug war since last January, and with most of the assault rifles confiscated coming from the good ol’ USA, it was no question a good idea to ban the guns. Maybe now we can talk the “L” word. You know, the other “L” word.


  19. Dru P. says:

    We are a nation of hyper aggressive, sexually obsessed and equally repressed, anti cultural, anti intellectual, consumer minded, boobs. How is a gun ban going to change that?


  20. Badger says:

    IMHO …Obama should be very carefull about any Changes in Gun Control Policies.

    Obviously, a fully automatic Assault Rifle should be regulated…but many Modified Military Rifles are preferred by Hunters in my neck of the woods….largely because Vets are familiar with them.

    A modified, Semi-Automatic Military Rifle is Not that different from any other High Powered Deer rifle.

    Obama persuaded lots of Hunters in the Midwest to vote for him. Many thought Bush was a disaster, but were worried that Obama and the Democrats would ” take their guns away”.

    I won several of these folks over , by posing the Question… “What has changed with respect to your being able to purchase a particular Gun in the last 10 years”.

    When they couldn’t come up with any changes, they tended to calm down and vote for Obama.

    If Obama and Holder are NOT carefull and nuanced , in their approach to this assault rifle ban, they could be handing Ammunition over to the NRA.

    If Al Gore would have been more carefull about his Gun Policy, he probably would have carried more Rural swing states, and won convincingly in 2000.


  21. misshusseinmolly says:

    “the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”

    If one wanted to follow the absolute letter of that statement (we’ll ignore the part about the “well-regulated militia” for the moment, since the gun nuts always do), one could say this means there should be no restrictions on weaponry of any kind. Anybody can own and carry any type of gun they want to. Anywhere. Anytime. Want to brandish a rocket launcher? No problem — you have a constitutional right to do so. Want a missile silo in your back yard, armed with a nuclear warhead? You may have to be a multi-billionaire to afford one, but if you can, why not? After all, it’s YOUR RIGHT, and it shall not be infringed!

    I would think that even the staunchest gun enthusiast would draw the line at Bill Gates having his own atom bomb. Or even people wandering around a shopping mall with rocket launchers. Nobody is interpreting the second amendment in the extreme manner I illustrated in the above paragraph. So where should the line be drawn? Steele appears to be conflicted on this issue. Maybe it just depends on who’s giving him his marching orders that day.


  22. winddancer says:

    Per Steele: Attorney General Eric Holder announced his desire to once again deny law abiding Americans their 2nd Amendment rights, using the ongoing violence in Mexico as justification.

    First of all, someone please show me where the 2nd Amendment says Americans can own assault weapons? Huge difference between the types of guns available when that Amendment was written and the hardware available. And “ongoing violence in Mexico?” Excuse me…is he aware that 90% of the weapons used by both the drug cartels and the other criminals in Mexico come across the border from the U.S.? 90%!!!!


  23. dbadass says:

    Damnit. I demand my rocket launcher!


  24. hanshiro says:

    21. Dr. Hussein Matt Says: Advantage compared to what?

    Okay, you admonished another poster and proclaimed your possession of a “so-called assault rifle.” I’m asking you why your specific choice of this particular firearm. Is it semi-automatic?

    Its advantages over non-assault models, etc. The ‘assault’ feature that makes it a preferable choice.

    Expound.


  25. dbadass says:

    I also need some armor piercing bullets. We have some tough ass deer in these parts…


  26. dbadass says:

    No one is trying to obtain rocket launchers

    Ah hello…


  27. Hoodathunk says:

    I heard somewhere that years ago a tour of FBI headquarters once included a stop on the firing range where you could light off a Thompson submachine gun.

    I also heard it was discontinued due to lack of interest.

    Anecdotal.


  28. hanshiro says:

    32. dbadass Says: I also need some armor piercing bullets. We have some tough ass deer in these parts…

    Nah, just hollow points. You’ll both hit and partially field dress what you aim at in a split second…

    People, we are adopting the rightwing’s method of problem solving. Narrow, simple and WRONG.


  30. dbadass says:

    So I do need the armor peircing ones it seems


  31. dbadass says:

    I am neither frightened nor illogical


  32. Hoodathunk says:

    Not sure but I believe the assault weapon ban is for things like Uzis and MAC10’s, short barreled guns that kick butt in a close in firefight. The street versions are semi auto only and wouldn’t be of much more use than the average handgun with the exception of larger magazines.


  33. hanshiro says:

    34. Dr. Hussein Matt Says: The term “assault rifle” is a misnomer just like “embryonic stem cell research”. Both terms are used to make something rather benign to sound scary. Give me some precise example of what you would like compared. Expound.

    You seem oddly reticent after the earlier rebuke to another poster. My questions are clear, and I do understand the ambiguity of the term ‘assault weapon’ which is why I’m seeking clarification from you. You own a “so-called assault rifle.”

    Is it semi-automatic?

    Why is this rifle superior to non ‘assault’ classified weapons?

    What is the advantage of this assault rifle that attracted you?


  34. Realness says:

    Geez Dr. Hussein Matt, obviously you have an opinion that’s contrary to a lot of people’s on here. Please explain your case. I’m pretty ignorant of gun control statistics, have a little discomfort with American/gun issues, but I’d honestly like to hear your side.


  35. angels81 says:

    Dr. You say you have never seen a armor peircing round in your life. I guess you have never been to a gun show or swap meet.


  36. Hoodathunk says:

    Generically blaming guns and assault weapons in particular is like saying something bigoted about a minority group. Or making claims about stem cell research being an attempt at genetically engineering the ‘perfect’ human.


  37. J. Fred Smug says:

    Michael Steele has explained away his failure to pass the Maryland State Bar Exam, claiming that he “took it on a whim.” Yet his own words betray the real reason: the man is simply not intelligent. Period.


  38. Dru P. says:

    The way to end gun violence is to encourage programs that teach problem solving skills, and also to promote safe gun usage and care.


  39. Doc Rock says:

    Steele showed how low he would go in his disgraceful conduct in his and Ehrlich’s run for reelection when he bussed in street people from Philly to hand out Repugnant agitprop lies and then even stiffed the poor henchmen he bussed in. Expect no consistency of principle from this petty crook.

    Banning guns is even more silly than banning chainsaws because they cut down trees. They are tools, ones that can be very dangerous if mistreated. A hammer in the forehead is just as deadly.

  46. dbadass says:

    Or are you just going to continue looking foolish on the topic?

    Please explain how I look foolish. I am simply moving us toward the simple question of our there reasonable limits of ownership of weaponry and if so what should they be? I think the foolishness arise when agendas get in the way of logic.

    Is it semi-automatic?
    Why is this rifle superior to non ‘assault’ classified weapons?
    What is the advantage of this assault rifle that attracted you?

    It’s a semi-automatic. I bought it because it’s made very well made, it’s light, easy to clean, compact, it’s accurate, and the ammo is cheap. I can’t give you comparisons/advantages to every rifle in existence since I don’t have access to them.

    I never asked for a comparison, and certainly not to every rifle in existence but the advantages/features that attracted you; similarly, say, to advantages of a car over standard models, manufacturers, etc. Clear.

    Nevertheless, I can see plainly your impatience and petulant attitude to simple inquiries makes you the ideal choice to own a semi-automatic weapon.


  50. tko says:

    Dr. Matt, Really, it sounds like you have an AR-15. Does the tumbling .223 round appeal to you so you can shoot the deer in the ass and the bullet comes out it’s head. I got a fifth award rifle expert badge in the Marines and could have gone on the Marine Corps rifle team so I’m somewhat knowledgeable on the subject. A semi-automatic rifle is much less accurate than a Mauser type bolt action rifle. Maybe it’s too much trouble to pull a bolt back? Remington and Winchester both make semi-automatic rifles that are just or more accurate than the AR-15/M-16. Of course they don’t look as impressive when you are posing in front of the mirror, do they. I prefer Weatherby rifles, but I only shoot paper targets, not living animals. My preference. If ammo cost is an issue, reload your own bullets.


  51. Hoodathunk says:

    I would guess that it is a sensitive subject and rather than respond inappropriately the good dr has chosen a time out.

    Just a guess.


  52. Marie says:

    I still haven’t heard a reason why an American citizen feels the need for an assault weapon like an M-16, Uzi or an AK-47.

    I am not re-entering the argument here – I am looking for an answer.


  53. angels81 says:

    The problem with gun bans is they don’t work. As long as gun company’s are free to produce them, all bans do is move these weapons into the shadow world. Like I said earlier, you can buy almost anything you want at a good gun show or swap meet. You want a AK 47, SKS, Street sweeper, Mac 10, AR 15 no problem. As long as company’s produce them, you can buy them.


  54. Hoodathunk says:

    Marie, why do some people want to own a 57 Chevy? A Faberge egg? A Jackson Pollock painting? People collect or own things for lots of reasons and they are seldom homicidal or warped because of it.


  55. gummitch says:

    Hoodathunk Says:

    Marie, why do some people want to own a 57 Chevy? A Faberge egg? A Jackson Pollock painting? People collect or own things for lots of reasons and they are seldom homicidal or warped because of it.

    I don’t believe too many homicides have been carried out with Faberge Eggs, Hooda. You may want to re-thunk your analogy.


  56. dbadass says:

    Hoodathunk but what if I wish to collect zip guns, short barreled shotguns, and rocket launchers? Again the question remains should there be limits and what should they be? I collect animal parts for educational purposes. Still I am restricted in what I may possess and who I obtain that which I may possess.


  57. MichaelInBaltimore says:

    The term assault weapon does not mean the same as assault rifle. The latter is heavily regulated by the 1934 National Firearms Act, and has very specific meaning, including selectable fire modes, including fully automatic or burst. The former has a fluid meaning depending on the version of (proposed) legislation, and is defined simply by cosmetics.

    Please, at least look the terms up on wikipedia. No need to sound like the “Russ-republics.”


  58. gummitch says:

    Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    You sound like a reich-winger with your completely irrelevant and obtuse tangents. No one is trying to obtain rocket launchers and atom bombs. Attempt to stay on topic and keep your hysteria to a minimum.

    The only real hysteria here has been your over-the-top emotional response to the subject of assault weapons.

    Maybe you could explain where you, personally, draw the line on appropriate weapons. Based on your interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, which weapons are suitable for civilian ownership and which are not?


  59. dbadass says:

    who should be how


  60. angels81 says:

    gummitch, missed the point didn’t ya?


  61. MichaelInBaltimore says:

    An M-16 is an assault rifle. You could own one, but the regulations are severe and expensive, and covered by the 1934 National Firearms Act, as is the “Tommy Gun” the gangsters used!

    Certain models of the AR-15 were defined as an assault weapon, based solely on their appearance. The are semi-automatic; you pull the trigger once, and it fires one round.


  62. hanshiro says:

    69.Hoodathunk Says: Marie, why do some people want to own a 57 Chevy? A Faberge egg? A Jackson Pollock painting? People collect or own things for lots of reasons and they are seldom homicidal or warped because of it.

    Let’s not go overboard. Matt’s reaction was hardly rational or informative. Comparing aesthetic preferences is different from performance, which is what I inquired about, What I got for my questions was irritation and anger management issues.


  63. Hoodathunk says:

    Machinery is machinery. The main difference between a Harley and an M16 is what the thing was designed to do. Collecting zip guns, short barreled shotguns and rocket launchers is perfectly fine if their primary purpose has been blocked.

    We don’t have to deal with roadside bombs and such because we recognize, as a society, these things are too dangerous to be readily available. Yeah, freedom is a great thing but it also carries responsibility. No one ever has total freedom, that’s why they put the bit in about to promote the general welfare.


  64. gummitch says:

    angels81 Says:

    I am not sure I am following you. So should we block the primary purpose of the “assault weapon” however we wish to define this and if so what would that mean?

  68. angels81 says:

    gummitch, The point was that some people are gun collectors and that doesn’t make them homicidal. There no different then someone who collects cars.


  69. Hoodathunk says:

    Case in point…the M16. Defined as an assault weapon because it was designed as a combat weapon. Primary purpose was to spit a shitload of bullets. Sale of automatic fire weapons is illegal in the use, thus blocking the primary purpose of the M16.

    Does this make it useless? Nope, its still a pretty good gun, as guns go.


  70. hanshiro says:

    83. angels81 Says: gummitch, The point was that some people are gun collectors and that doesn’t make them homicidal. There no different then someone who collects cars.

    I dunno…angry and unstable aren’t traits I’d be as concerned about in a car collector unless I was walking along the road…

    ..but in a gun collector?


  71. dbadass says:

    angels81:
    So would it follow that someone who collects infectuous microbes is just the same as well and if so why restrict them. Again the question is are there boundaries and if so what should they be. I have no problem whatsoever as to reasonable protection of the rights of firearm owners nor do I have any problems with reasonable restrictions upon the ownership of weaponry.


  72. gummitch says:

    angels81 Says:

    gummitch, The point was that some people are gun collectors and that doesn’t make them homicidal. There no different then someone who collects cars.

    And my point, which you apparently missed, is that cars and Faberge eggs are not weapons. It’s not a useful analogy.

    Trust me, I understand collector’s impulse. And my best friend is a gun nut; he has an enormous gun vault full of all sorts of them, mostly handguns. His only answer about why he buys them is “I wanted one of those.” Which I’m fine with. Him I trust, for one thing. But it’s naive in the extreme to think that everyone with a large collection of guns is a “collector”, and the ramifications for getting that wrong is considerably more dangerous than egg collectors.


  73. Hoodathunk says:

    And in case anyone is wondering, I haven’t owned a gun since 1979. And I personally have no desire to own one again. But I can recognize and appreciate good mechanical design.


  74. the Lone Voice of Reason says:

    The question was asked, and I’m paraphrasing, “why would anyone need an AK47?” Well, that is a good question. The answer lies in why does pretty much every citizen in the old eastern bloc have their own assault rifle but there aren’t near the same number of gun deaths as in America or the Americas. Didn’t the Columbine kids buy their guns? You have to wonder in maybe some Americans just can’t be trusted with them. We are very war-like.

  76. Hoodathunk says:

    Now, now…this isn’t quite a legitimate question. There are fewer murders with cars than with guns, for one.

    Two, a neighbor gets pissed off at you, he’s less likely to drive a car through your kitchen window than a bullet. Guns are handier in that respect and rash impulse lends itself more to guns than autos.

    That is just a quantifiable truism.

  80. angels81 says:

    Seeing as most gun killings in this country are done with hand guns and not so called assault weapons, the ban is nothing more then making politician’s able to say they care about gun violence, without really doing anything. A full auto AK-47 or M16 is already illegal.

    I’d rather take a round from a Faberge egg — much lower mortality rate. ;)


  82. Hoodathunk says:

    True, guns are viewed as weapons, cars aren’t. A small thing we can be thankful for. And my apologies, gummitch, it was an unfair comparison. But neither guns, cars, eggs or chainsaws are the problem. It’s our attitude. Guns just happen to be a real hot button for some.


  83. the Lone Voice of Reason says:

    Cars and guns apples and oranges. America has an old west mentality. I have no criminal record and I had to first, go to the police station and buy a purchasers permit, that came with a background check, to buy a handgun that isn’t very accurate outside of 20 yards. What did it take to buy rifle. The Gander Mountain employee says to a kid “are you 18 years or older?” The kid answers no. The Gander Mountain employee says “let’s try this again, are you 18 years or older?”


  84. dbadass says:

    More people are killed by motor vehicles every year than guns.
    – I don’t get this either. If we don’t count all those “accidental” shootings and count how many times a gun is used to kill or harm someone to how many times an automobile is chosen as the tool of harm would this premise still stand?

    Shouldn’t gun ownership and use be just as regulated, if not more so?

    Other countries seem to do just fine with much stricter gun ownership policies…

    Okay so should I be allowed my rocket launcher or not?

    The Faberge egg. The weapon of choice for the Bolsheviks. Sorry, just trying to get into the act.

    dbadass, as long as it doesn’t work, you are allowed to own a rocket launcher.


  96. Hoodathunk says:

    dbadass, convert it to firing potatoes and no one will say you nay.


  97. dbadass says:

    Why should I have to convert it. My buddy with the assault rifle doesn’t have to shoot gummibears


  98. Badger says:

    Take for example the SKS Rifle. It was a standard issue military weapon used by the Chinese and other Cold War Adversaries.

    Many Hunters in my area like the SKS for their Younger, first time Hunters…because it is light weight and accurate.

    It could be classified as an assault rifle, even though it is semi-automatic, because of it’s history as a Military Weapon.

    This is the Nuance that Obama needs to recognize, to avoid needlessly pi$$ing off his supporters.

    Not Everyone Hunts Deer, but take my word for it…around here it is Very Important.


  99. the Lone Voice of Reason says:

    You are good then. I’m not sure if you can get a conceal carry permit though.

    dbadass, if its on full automatic, he better.

    dbadass, as long as it doesn’t work, you are allowed to own a rocket launcher
    — Fair enough so long as all those gun collectors agree that their weapon of choice need not work. After all it is really just about the joy of collection and appreciation right?

  106. Hoodathunk says:

    Smart bombs that spread eclairs and donuts over a 100 yard radius.


  107. Realness says:

    So what is it that gives the U.S. this particularly high firearm death rate? If there’s other countries with lower regulation AND lower death (homicide/suicide) rates, why so high in the U.S.? Is this something that needs to be culture specific? Would stricter licensing/insurance/etc/ like the car model really bring this down?

    so many questions!

  114. angels81 says:

    dbadass: Full auto weapons are already illegal to own in working order, unless you have a special permit. Semi auto weapons are legal and no special permit is needed. A civilian M14 which is semi auto is legal, but under this so called assault weapon ban, if the M14 had a black plastic stock instead of a wood stock it would be banned. Tell me what sense that makes?

  122. belac says:

    Switzerland also has a ‘well-regulated militia’ and trains all those young men in the safe use of those weapons… and to purchase a weapon (outside of breech and muzzle loaders or recognized historical weapons) other than your Army issued weapon requires a special, and difficult to obtain permit.

    I’d agree to that.


  123. barfly says:

    Don’t know if this has been posted, but there’s a Red Dawn in Texas, it seems (from Raw Story):

    The call by some right wing leaders for rebellion and for the military to refuse the commander in chief’s orders is joined by Chuck Norris who claims that thousands of right wing cell groups have organized and are ready for a second American Revolution. During an appearance on the Glen Beck radio show he promised that if things get any worse from his point of view he may “run for president of Texas.” The martial artist/actor/activist claims that Texas was never formally a part of the United States in the first place and that if rebellion is to come through secession Texas would lead the way.

    Armadillos!

    No… Jackrabbits!

    Damn…

    “Gila Monsters!”

    Yeah, that’s the ticket…


  124. hanshiro says:

    134.Realness Says: Switzerland requires men over the age of 20 to own an assault rifle! But their death rates by firearm homicide are far lower than ours.

    And now here, as Paul Harvey would say, is the rest of the story…

    Swiss males grow up expecting to undergo basic military training, usually at age 20 in the Rekrutenschule (German for “recruit school”), the initial boot camp, after which Swiss men remain part of the “militia” in reserve capacity until age 30 (age 34 for officers). Each such individual is required to keep his army-issued personal weapon (the 5.56×45mm Sig 550 rifle for enlisted personnel or the SIG 510 rifle and/or the 9mm SIG-Sauer P220 semi-automatic pistol for officers, medical and postal personnel) at home with a specified personal retention quantity of government-issued personal ammunition (50 rounds 5.56 mm / 48 rounds 9mm), which is sealed and inspected regularly to ensure that no unauthorized use takes place.[2] The issuing of ammunition was however abolished after a family shooting, in which the victim was a former ski champion.

    Changes the impression, eh?


  125. dbadass says:

    claims that Texas was never formally a part of the United States in the first place

    So it is a part of Mexico afterall….

  132. Realness says:

    hmmmm, then maybe there aren’t any countries with less regulation=less firearm deathrate? wouldn’t that be the obvious and logical corelate for people to see that we need more regulation, because it would directly reduce that deathrate, increasing all our safety?

    why is it that the NRA other such groups can have such contrary data?

    I hope this isn’t annoying…I’m more thinking about this out loud than anything else, so thanks for the help and links :)

    Hey dbadass… the snow geese gave all left the Rio Grande, and the flycatchers have returned to their nest in the windsock at the heli-base.

    It’s the same for health care, et. al. The businesses and entities that profit the most from the current, broken system always have ‘alternative’ facts to justify keeping their money flowing. Remember bush’s ’set of facts’ about Iraq?


  135. Nevar says:

    The NRA has become the promotional and marketing wing of the arms manufacturers.

  137. Realness says:

    I would also ask then- how do you address the problem of the CULTURAL institutions of guns in the U.S.- 2nd Amendment, freedom, etc. Why is the U.S. in particular so hung up on this right to bear arms? The UK had a similar kind of ‘right to bear’ in its legal traditions, but faded it out with tighter regulations.

    a tradition of pending or possible opposition to the government? rugged individualism?

    alright- i’ll check it when i get home.


  138. barfly says:

    Everyone has a right to work and support their families in the way they are accustomed to.
    Mexican drug dealers have the same self-defense rights as anybody carrying a weapon, a machete or machine gun!
    How else can they discipline people and keep the drug markets working? American addicts have a right to try to stop their pain and they provide the powder that heals all.
    Maybe they should declare the area 10 miles south of the border to be an “Open Fire Zone” and interdict them all.
    American gun factories will be working overtime if we allow some leeway on firing zones.
    Just Kidding!


  153. barfly says:

    For that purpose, the President of the United States has given full Powers to John C. Calhoun, Secretary of State of the said United States, and the President of the Republic of Texas has appointed, with like powers, Isaac Van Zandt and J.

  161. Keith says:

    belac at #103,
    People should really study that list. If the US’s firearm-related death rate is thirty times Britain’s, that should tell a thinking person that our gun laws should be more like Britain’s. Problem is, Americans always think they are so dang superior to every other country in the world.

    Americans buy guns to protect their homes against burglars or Chinese invaders, but the weapon winds up being used in domestic violence, suicides, or accidental shootings. This is not my opinion, but sociological studies for many decades.

    The head of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, never touched a gun the first 24 years of his life and always told me how much he hated “gun nuts”. (But if he can make a million dollars a year lobbying for guns—what the hell!)


  162. pete says:

    Disclaimer: I have participated in shooting sports my whole life. Dad bought me my first .22 when I was seven. I have owned a myriad of weapons including high capacity semi-auto handguns. I currently own one bolt-action rifle, one pump-action 12 gauge shotgun, and a beautiful (and quite valuable) Beretta Over-under 20 gauge shotgun. I do not currently own any handguns.

    Here’s my take on assault weapons which I prefer to call “high-capacity”.

    High-capacity weapons, those with removable clips that contain 10 or more rounds, are designed to kill people. That’s their only purpose. The reason such big clips were invented was to limit reloading in combat and to provide “volume of fire”. Volume fire, or “cover fire”, is the practice of firing lots of bullets at hostile persons to prevent them shooting back. There is no legitimate civilian use for weapons designed for this purpose.


  163. dbadass says:

    I may be wrong but I believe that pete is a knowledgable and reasoned person who should always be welcomed to any discussion of firearms and rights.

    I’m afraid I can’t take personal credit. My parents were educated and, from a very early age, taught me to learn about a given subject before offering an opinion. (Though Dad did occasionally claim he made a mistake in teaching me the word “why”.) That same year I received a .22 for my birthday, I received my own set of Worldbook encyclopedias for Christmas.

    It came to a head in 8th grade when I walked out of geography class and refused to waste any more time listening to an “ignorant savage who’s more interested in talking about gopher trapping than geography”.

    The various adults in my life corrected me about the rights of an 8th grader but, my classmates didn’t ever forget me calling out a teacher. I ran into one of those classmates some 25 years after the event and had a great laugh.

    BTW. Said “ignorant savage” was released from teaching at the end of the year and went into auto mechanics. I like to think I helped make the system work.

    The easiest solution is for Archie to do the right thing and just take responsibility for a slip in manners. If Archie can’t do that I have also suggested claiming a random name jacking or just changing name.

    Manners Matter Archie

    Put your guns down and take some responsibilty like a real man….


  192. pete says:

    Well, lets see. Back when I had a Ruger Redhawk, I could hold a ten inch group at 200 yards. I could manage 5 inches at 150 yards with my old muzzle-loader and about the same with a 12 gauge slug. Now, my Weatherby 7mm mag is a whole different story. I can shoot that thing all day, at 300 yards, and make a ragged hole about 1.5 inches in diameter while it’s no great trick to hit a head-sized target at 500 yards.

    BTW. I can hear a red-neck belch at 400 yards.

    ATTORNEY GENERAL ASHCROFT TESTIFYING BEFORE CONGRESS, 12/6/01: In this manual, Al Qaeda terrorists are now told how to use America’s freedom as a weapon against us.

    DEBORAH AMOS: But what Ashcroft did not point out: these manuals show Osama bin Laden’s foot soldiers how easy it is to buy assault weapons in American gun stores and gun shows.

    Al Qaeda and other terrorists organizations have exploited numerous loopholes in American gun laws — loopholes that exist because of consistent lobbying by the powerful National Rifle Association to stop any restrictions on gun purchases. Since September 11th, critics say, the U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft has chosen to side with the NRA at the expense of the war on terrorism.

    I’m not only talking about Al-Qaeda. I’m talking about the Irish Republican Army obtaining scores of guns from a corrupt Florida gun dealer. I’m talking about the racially motivated terror of white supremacist Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, whose 1999 shooting rampage against blacks, Jews and Asians in Illinois and Indiana killed two and wounded nine others.

    Stupid troll. .44 mag, 9 1/2 inch barrel, handloads with 200 grain Sierra hollow-points, 2.5X Weaver scope, and a pillow on the shooting bench. It’s been several years so I can’t remember which powder gave the best results. Hercules and Blue-Dot were both pretty good though I can’t recall which I used for target and which for hunting. One of them gave me about 350 fps over the other, through the chronograph, but accuracy suffered a bit.

    Six shots in ten inches, with a good target round, isn’t a big deal. Heck, a friend of mine who has better eyes than I, and an identical gun, could out shoot me with open sights out to a hundred yards. When he used my gun he put me to shame at any range.

If I’m wrong, and they come to take away my guns, well I reckon that’s when the constitution anticipated I should use them. We don’t need a ban on a narrow class of weapons, we need personal responsibility for the weapons we choose to own. Regulated, and educated, works for me.

    You sound like a reich-winger with your completely irrelevant and obtuse tangents. No one is trying to obtain rocket launchers and atom bombs. Attempt to stay on topic and keep your hysteria to a minimum.
    __________________________________________________________

    I’m sorry it took so long for me to reply to you, but I was out tonight.

    I suspect you completely missed my point. Which means I didn’t express myself very well. Let me try again.

    Whenever any sensible group of people attempt to restrict weapons that have no purpose but to kill multiple people quickly and efficiently, the gun rights people squawk about their constitutional right to bear arms, pointing to the second amendment.

    I maintain that there is a limit to the right to bear arms, and I would be willing to bet that everyone — even hardcore NRA lifetime members — agrees. If there was no limit, anybody would have the right to own any kind of weapon they could afford. ANY weapon.

    No, I’m not suggesting that anybody is out advocating we actually permit this. And I’m not setting up a straw man. My point is that EVERYBODY (with the possible exception of one or two deranged lunatics) has a line as to what should be permitted. Where we differ is where we want that line drawn.

    So — if we all agree that we favor some limits on bearing arms, it’s madness to lean on the second amendment for one’s argument. Attacking where somebody else draws the line by using the second amendment is basically claiming there shouldn’t be a line. And that’s hypocrisy.

    I’m not a right-winger (you should know me better than that!). I was on topic and relevant — my point had to do with the definition of gun control. I certainly wasn’t hysterical. And I wasn’t suggesting that anybody was seriously attempting to legalize atom bombs for private citizens. I was using an extreme example to make a point that everybody has a limit.

    I grok etiquette. I have been accused of being insufferably polite myself, even when passing on a veiled insult. One of my favorite pastimes is calling a fool a fool without said fool being aware of it. Kinda like Grandma Walton. She didn’t need to call the Baldwin sisters “evil” to let the rest of the world know her opinion on the subject. I have always admired the ability of fine ladies, or gentleman, to eviscerate an opponent without any overt attack.

    But, obviously, our stupid troll doesn’t follow the rules of social etiquette and isn’t bright enough to catch subtle imprecations. He merely moves the goal posts while the ball is in the air. That’s not just intellectually dishonest (bankrupt?), it’s just plain rude.

    A very salient point. If I may add; when the 2nd Amendment was drafted, there was not much of a difference between military and hunting/sporting weapons. Repeating arms had not been invented and the concept of a pistol which could spit out 18 rounds in ten seconds would have been called witchcraft.

    Actually, I was the one who introduced that concept, and I stand by it. And, as a hunter who strives for “one shot” kills, I stand by the contention that high-capacity weapons have no legitimate civilian use.

    All weapons have the capacity to kill. That’s their definition. However, hunting/sporting weapons have diverged from military weapons. A single-shot rifle is designed to kill game, or paper, within the limits of the shooter. They use ammo that is optimized for sure kills of game, or paper.
    High-capacity weapons, on the other hand, are specifically designed for combat.

    That’s the real tragedy. The “best” our stupid trolls have to offer are lies. What a sad, unsatisfying, existence it must be.


  268. OutstandingInMyField says:

    Archie B Says:
    I never typed the word “military” in my post. High capacity weapons have a legitimate use. Not “military high capacity.” There is a difference.

    With all due respect…there ain’t a great deal of diference if you’re shot by one…


  269. pete says:

    Will wonders never cease? We might be approaching a common ground.

    Perhaps I should have qualified my statement to specifically exclude .22 rimfires and weapons with fixed magazines?

    I don’t have a problem with a 20 shot .22 rifle. I don’t have a huge problem with a 16 shot Henry replica (though I can’t think of a good reason it shouldn’t be plugged at 5, or 7, or 10 rounds to meet federal standards.)

    What I was referring to, and I thought it was obvious, are high-capacity weapons in “military” or “man-killing” calibers with multiple magazines.

    This category would include any weapon with multiple, high capacity, magazines like my old Browning Hi-Power 9mm. It was fun to shoot but, it was not capable of taking game reliably while it was capable of killing people efficiently. If one were so inclined one could use it to take out half a school but, if one depended on it to fill the pot, one would starve to death if it were one’s only weapon. The same could be said of, virtually, all “assault weapons”. These weapons are optimized for fighting people. They are, clearly, military weapons designed for use in battle.

    Now, personally, if I had to take action against a hostile military force I would depend on guerrilla tactics. I’m not stupid enough to engage in open battle with a military force. So? A high capacity, military, weapon would not serve my purpose. Such a weapon does, however, serve the purpose of some wacko who snaps and decides to kill a bunch of innocent victims.

    Question: Does a law limiting gun owners to a single small clip infringe on the 2nd Amendment?

    I don’t think so.

    No! Stupid troll. I don’t care who shoots up a church or tries to assemble a WMD, regardless of capability or political affiliation. Terrorism is terrorism!

    The funny thing is, I can’t recall a single instance of “librul terrorism”, in our country, since the 70’s. However, there are many instances of “Reichwing terrorism” in that time.

    ARCHIE if you’re JUST GOING TO POST NONSENSE and not COMPLETE SENTENCES I say you NEED TO UP YOUR DOSAGE! ;)

    I must, respectfully, disagree. Speaking as one who has consumed a bit more than the optimum quantity of beer; it’s possible that the stupid troll should DECREASE his dosage.


  279. pete says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    pete, don’t forget that most of the “librul terrorism” in the 70s was really just “vandalism”. CONS prefer to kill *people*.

    I know that. You know that. Most rational people know that.

    However, I’m trying to make the point that “libruls” rarely employ violent measures in this country, at the present time, while Reichwingers continue to employ violent measures.

    NOTE: This does not include psychopaths who operate outside of their political affiliation. Some folks is just plain crazy and fall outside the scope of this discussion.

    If he was a code pinko you would be silent. Nuff said.

    No!

    Can you identify a “code pinko” who’s assembling an arsenal? Can you identify a “code pinko”? The next time a “code pinko” assembles an arsenal, with or without WMD, we can talk. I will, probably, come out against said “code pinko”.

    I happen to belong to the group who thinks that negotiation is preferable to insurrection.

    Wow, this thread turned into quite the Bunker-buster.

    Dr Matt asks:

    Its advantages over non-assault models, etc. The ‘assault’ feature that makes it a preferable choice.

    Jack responds…

    Here ya go… everything you wanted to know wrapped up in one tidy package. Now… do you promise me that next week you won’t be asking the very same questions?

    How can someone stay on a site for hours upon hours getting there ass handed to them non-stop. Wouldn’t it just get old after awhile? He can’t make a coherent point. He posts things that make no sense and are off topic meant to change the debate. Then the moron will quote his own posts and then leave a quip like “nuff said” or “spot on.” Archie is probably the saddest most pathetic troll I have seen on TP. He’s probably having a wet dream over man coulter right now while he strokes his assault rifle.



  286. buzzbomb says:

    I can’t “see” the link, but its there. A guy in Alabama killed 11 people yesterday with…wait for it….

    AN M-16 ASSAULT RIFLE!!!!


  287. lvdragonlady says:

    I do not understand why everyone takes a simple comment about ‘banning assault weapons’ as a repeal of the 2nd amendment.
    Assault weapons are for wars not for hunting so what is the problem? How many of you go hunting with assault weapons?
    Maybe he should just banned the ammo for the assault weapons and let the people own the weapons?

    dasm Says:

    It’s truly disturbing that Republicans continue to get the vast majority of the media’s attention. Even here on TP, if you scan the headlines, it’s all about Republicans and their whining, distorting, and smearing. I wish the media would stop reporting on their many lies, bellowings, & scams and give us some real news– facts, truth, research.

    That is what this site is all about dasm. Haven’t you noticed that yet. It’s all about bashing Republicans and discussions on true subjects that are important to the country rarely take place. It all stems from the topics and their slant.

    Sometimes they do but not often.

    As far as “whining,distorting,and smearing” just look at post # 1 through #471 and count who are “whining, distorting and smearing”.


  289. jay says:

    pete, don’t forget that most of the “librul terrorism” in the 70s was really just “vandalism”. CONS prefer to kill *people*.

    Friendly people like the Weatherman, Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army. Never hurt anyone. Never killed anyone or robbed any banks. Kindly folks who just wanted to paint graffiti on walls and turn over outhouses..


  290. jay says:

    Hey, no problem. I’m waiting for these thoughtful people to start calling me names now. I just had to point out this missed fact. People see what they want to see I’m afraid.

    Oh I forgot Charles Manson and his peace loving Hippies.

    You see Pete, the fact that you “can’t recall a single instance of “librul terrorism”, in our country, since the 70’s” is the problem.


  292. jay says:

    He was an INSANE INDIVIDUAL, there are PLENTY OF CONSERVATIVE killers at the same time. Care for me to LIST THEM? Shall we BEGIN with the MAI LAI MASSACRES?

    Cop out. Mai Lai was in the heat of a war. Not a domestic terrorism attack at all.

    My point was just your point. Pete loves to point out the things that make his point while leaving out facts that don’t.

    Now you with Mai Lai. Not the same thing but yes it did happen, I guess.


  293. jay says:

    ALSO, when you’re talking about GROUPS that were RADICAL in FIGHTING against BLACK OPPRESSION, you saying those were ALL LIBERALS just because they OPPOSED YOU? ROTFL! You’re a WACKO!

    Far left wing radicle groups. Yes.

    Have any thoughts on my ‘Swiss’ model for gun control… that I posted way, way up there?

    Or the founders intentions when they defeated the ‘individual’ right to bear arms 3 times at the Constitutional convention…

    Or anything on topic? Other than, ‘take a look at the liberal name-callers…’ anything?

    Hi belac. How you doing today?

    No I have no comments on that today. I stopped beating that dead horse a long time ago. Would it change your mind if I did? I don’t think so.


  297. jay says:

    YET you are HERE *ANSWERING* for RUSH’S WORDS and that of STEELE. You REALLY need to DIG DEEPER inside your own PATHOLOGY JUNIOR!

    I’m not answering for anyone but myself. Sorry Pal but I don’t fall into the Limbaugh trap.


  298. belac says:

    Then why post to this thread, jay?
    We’re discussing sensible ‘gun control’ and we did very civilly for over a hundred posts before Archie showed up and started his nonsense…

    Why the ‘we can’t have a reasonable discussion with these people’ nonsense and then refuse the discussion?

    I wonder…


  299. jay says:

    Neither was a SERIAL KILLER you IGNORANT JACK*SS!

    Nice language. A sign of weakness Pal.

    No YOUR POINT was that a SERIAL KILLER was a LIBERAL, yet during that SAME TIME there were LOTS of SERIAL KILLERS that were JUST NICE CONSERVATIVE WHITE MEN NEXT DOOR. ;)

    Not my point at all. You need to get with the conversation. Re read my posts. They are in English.

    It WASN’T? So MASS MURDER is *OK* sometimes, and DIFFERENT than *OTHERS*? Wow you CONS are SUCH SICKOS! See I’m REVILED by BOTH and I see BOTH as the sign of a SICK MIND – you however *IDENTIFY* with one of those acts – VERY TELLING!

    I never said mass murder was OK. Tell me how many of those soldiers were Democrats and how many were Republicans? Then your argument might be relevant to the discussion.

    I don’t “IDENTIFY” with any of those things. I’m sure in your mind I do though.

    He then refused to back that statement up for hours and called people ‘fos’ liars… I wonder why things disintegrated…

    It’s not my fault for the direction this conversation is taking. I just posted to Pets statement and now Mr Hates Facts has turned it into a name calling free for all like he always does.

    He only knows one way to communicate with others so I don’t blame him. What can I say. LOL huh belac.


  302. belac says:

    I also don’t understand how identifying who has more domestic terrorists, ‘liberals or conservatives,’ furthers this discussion.

    I would prefer to see sensible gun control laws for ALL Americans, (that’s both groups…) I think that would cut down on the rate of gun deaths.


  303. belac says:

    Sure- RHF can be abrasive… Archie B. is equally so… how does highlighting RHF’s faults and ignoring Archie B.’s further the discussion?

    It doesn’t.

    The fact remains that if you look at comments #1- #192 they are generally thoughtful and respectful… just an observation.


  304. jay says:

    SURE it WAS you CALLED A SERIAL KILLER a TERRORIST. That’s INSANELY STUPID!

    Do you know anything about Manson.

    The killings were meant to start a revolution between the Blacks and the whites and topple the government. End result was for him to rise to lead the government. That’s terrorism Pal. You need to know your limitations.


  305. belac says:

    You’re nowhere near smart enough to see what an idiot that post makes you out to be. Condoning violence towards a pastor by one of those fun loving gays.

    Good Point.

    Don’t you wish there were tighter gun-control laws to keep weapons out of the hands of those who would ’shoot out the windows’ of a car bearing a controversial bumper sticker?

    I do.

    I highlight RHF because he is calling me those names. If the comments aren’t directed towards me then why should I comment on them.

    I did read the posts and right from the beginning they almost all had an agenda. Want to guess what that was?

    You saying you saw an agenda does not make them “whining,distorting,and smearing” which is what you called them.

    This is the forum for discussing that agenda… something you refuse to do because you’d rather have a slap fight with RHF about ‘domestic terrorism.’

    Carry on…

    Well to BEGIN WITH a RACE WAR was NOT a LIBERAL POSITION. Second of all what you are DESCRIBING is an ANARCHIST not a LIBERAL – you IGNORANT PIECE OF SH*T MORON!

    Right maybe but in this case it was coming from your friendly leftist of the 70’s. Hey RHF, who started the KKK?. A little trivia for you.

    As far as agreeing that this is terrorism, I don’t. I see it as free speech, nothing more. A great thing, free speech, you know the Constitution and all.

    Manson didn’t have a lot of guns. Where did you get that tidbit of info. His group did his murders with clubs and knives.

    David Koresh??? Where did that come from? I don’t recall Koresh going out and killing anyone. He did defend his home when it was attacked in the middle of the night by people dressed all in black.

    Reno taught him a lesson though. She killed them all, every man, women and child.


  315. belac says:

    Do you know what led up to this action. Koresh never hurt anyone. He had a warrant but could of been arrested away from his compound while buying groceries. None of it should of ever happened. And as far as I understand, it is still legal to own guns in this country. Reno blew that one for sure.


  318. belac says:

    Mason’s Guns:
    From Wikipedia:

    Crowe shooting
    On May 18, 1969, Terry Melcher visited Spahn Ranch to hear Manson and the girls sing. Melcher arranged a subsequent visit, not long thereafter, on which he brought a friend who possessed a mobile recording unit; but he himself did not record the group.[49][50]
    By June, Manson was telling the Family they might have to show blacks how to start “Helter Skelter”.[39][43][51] When Manson tasked Watson with obtaining money supposedly intended to help the Family prepare for the conflict, Watson defrauded a black drug dealer named Bernard “Lotsapoppa” Crowe. Crowe responded with a threat to wipe out everyone at Spahn Ranch. Manson countered on July 1, 1969, by shooting Crowe at his Hollywood apartment.[52][53][27][54]

    Telling the girls to lie in the bushes, Watson stepped out, gave a command to halt, and shot to death the approaching driver, 18-year-old Steven Parent.[64][67] After cutting the screen of an open window of the main house, Watson told Kasabian to keep watch down by the gate.[64][66][62] He removed the screen, entered through the window, and let Atkins and Krenwinkel in through the front door.[66]

    There’s more… they had guns, jay.

    Whaddya know?


  319. belac says:

    None of it should of ever happened. And as far as I understand, it is still legal to own guns in this country. Reno blew that one for sure.

    Agreed.

    But what botched it was the “gun-ho” (if you’ll permit me) guns blazing attitude of the A.T.F.

    An attitude I see too often replicated in too many on both sides of law enforcement.

    It is illegal to own the guns the Branch Davidians owned.
    It should be much harder to get guns you can make ‘full auto’

    That’s the topic we’re discussing.

    Your right belac it happened at 9 AM. They weren’t there because of his stockpiling of arms. They were there to serve a warrant. It was how they tried to enter the compound that caused the gunfire. Read what happened belac. It could of been handled better. Be that as it may, did ALL the people need to die??????? Men, women, children??????


  321. belac says:

    Owning a few guns gives the gov’t the right to kill you?

    nope… but firing on police officers and A.T.F. agents with assault rifles generally ends poorly for everyone involved.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we had fewer assault rifles to worry about being mis-used?


  322. belac says:

    Read what happened belac. It could of been handled better. Be that as it may, did ALL the people need to die??????? Men, women, children??????

    I watched and ‘experienced’ what happened live, jay.

    The warrant was for illegal firearms.

    It should have been handled differently.

  323. jay says:

    It is illegal to own the guns the Branch Davidians owned.

    It is against the law to have a gun that fires full auto. It’s been against the law since 1933.

    From Wiki again:

  326. tko says:

    Hey Archie Bullshit, Is your ass sore yet or can I jump in? I see the dumbass in Alabama that killed ten people had 2 assault rifles in adddition to handguns and a shotgun. Kinda “shoots” Steele’s argument in the foot, figuratively speaking. Got anything intelligent to say for a change, Archie Bullshit? Just kidding. Look who I’m asking?

  328. belac says:

    It is against the law to have a gun that fires full auto. It’s been against the law since 1933.

    It is not illegal to buy guns that can become ‘full auto’ with a little filing of the machinery… you guys know that, right?


  329. jay says:

    So DAVID BROKE THE LAW and REFUSED to LET THE LAW IN. Sounds like DAVID caused this to happen! Nice way to DEFLECT BLAME as USUAL! At least you CONS are CONSISTENT in your COP OUTS and UNWILLINGNESS to ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY for *YOUR* actions! Like your WHINING about SOMEONE COMING AT YOU because of your JACK*SS POSTS! ROTFL! MORON!

    He didn’t refuse to let the cops in. They broke down the door and crashed through the windows on two floors of the compound.

    The only “JACK*SS POSTS!” are coming from you RHF. Everyone else seem to be in control of their emotions here.


  330. belac says:

    I do belac. Then it becomes illegal.


  337. belac says:

    I do belac. Then it becomes illegal.

    So doesn’t it make sense to have a little more oversight of those weapons that have this capability?

    That’s all I’m saying… read comment #103…


  338. jay says:

    Alleging that the Davidians had violated federal law, the ATF obtained search and arrest warrants for Koresh and specific followers on weapons charges due to the many firearms they had accumulated.

    Not always the best source of information. The warrant for his arrest was from the modification of a firearm that he sold to an undercover agent.


  339. belac says:

    We can do this in an adult manner… but we need to stop dealing with this issue in such a ‘Mickey Mouse’ half-baked fashion… we need sensible gun control like the rest of the industrialized world.

    Not always the best source of information. The warrant for his arrest was from the modification of a firearm that he sold to an undercover agent.

    Oh, I’m sorry… completely different. And the search warrant was to search the compound for illegal weapons stockpiles… just sayin’


  341. belac says:

    More people are killed with cars than guns. Should we lower the speed limit to say 25mph?

    No, but we license drivers, require car owners to carry insurance and have strict age limits and knowledge and ability tests from time to time…

    I’d agree to that model for gun ownership.

    In a heartbeat.


  342. jay says:

    Archie B Says:

    More people are killed with cars than guns. Should we lower the speed limit to say 25mph?

    I do know that my gun has killed less people then Ted Kennedy’s car. Apples and Oranges though. If someone wants to kill another person then they will find a way even if the gun was never invented.


  343. belac says:

    Yet more people still die in cars than are killed by guns. How does being required to have insurance going to save lives? 16 in most states is “strict?”

    Stricter than gun control laws, innit?

    How many cars are owned and operated everyday per capita in the United States?

    How many guns are owned and operated everyday per capita in the United States?

    As jay said, Apples to Oranges… but why shouldn’t the laws be just as strict for guns as they are for cars?

    Do you have an argument?


  344. jack burton says:

    belac sez:

    It is not illegal to buy guns that can become ‘full auto’ with a little filing of the machinery… you guys know that, right?

    Jack Responds…

    It appears that what we “know” and what some think they “know” is quite a bit different…

    Quoting from myself…

    Many people complain that the semi-autos sold today are easily converted to full automatic weapons. They have no understanding of either the mechanics of firearms or the laws prohibiting even the whiff of an full auto.

    Federal law declares that any gun that is easily converted to an automatic weapon IS an automatic weapon for the purposes of the law, even if not actually converted — (National Firearms Act as amended by the McClure-Volkmer Act of 1986). That NON-automatic pistols or carbines that fire from an open bolt are Title 2/Class III restricted under Federal law, because they can be converted by filing the sear.

    It is a crime to even ATTEMPT to convert a legal semi-auto to fully automatic fire even in the absence of a conversion kit. The attempt is the same thing as possessing an illegal, unregistered machine gun. If you possess even a single PART from a full auto gun and attempt to fit it to a semi-auto, you’ve just tried to assemble an illegal machine gun. That is a 10 year prison sentence and/or a $250,000 dollar fine.

    The semi-auto versions of any military-type rifle have to be specifically designed so that CANNOT accept parts from their full auto cousins without requiring major alteration to the gun itself. As a result, the presence of the alteration is prima facie evidence that you were, in fact, intending to manufacture an illegal machine gun.

    This is difficult to explain to someone who isn’t familiar with the internals of firearms. I can tell you it is not easy to convert any semi-auto rifle to full-auto. It requires a machine shop in many cases and a machinist used to working to very precise specs. And manufacture of a conversion kit would be considered manufacture of a machine gun under the law. Hence why you don’t see the kits.

    They sure got a lot of ‘em somehow, didn’t they?

    No, but we license drivers, require car owners to carry insurance and have strict age limits and knowledge and ability tests from time to time…

    I’d agree to that model for gun ownership.

    Jack responds…

    Do I need the governments permission to buy a car? No.

    Do I need to buy the car from only certain people with licenses to sell cars? No.

    Can I buy as many cars as I want each week/month/year. Yes

    Can I buy Hummers virtually identical to the ones the troops use? Yes.

    Do I have to wait from 5 to 15 days to pick up my car. No

    If I traded in one car for a newer model do I still have to wait five to ten days to pick the new one up. No

    Can I modify my car to allow more fuel, more performance, or better cornering. Yes

    Do I need to register a car that I own? No (as long as I keep it on my own property)

    Do I need a background check or waiting period to buy a car? No

    Is my car held responsible if I misuse it? No

    Would failure to register my car be a federal felony (prevents me from owning another one). No

    Far behind the curve on this one. Similar to those who still insist upon a flat earth.

    You sure are a font of information… if only it were in any way accurate or insightful.

    Jack responds…

    Let’s read what Dale Carpenter, one of the most respected legal scholars in the nation, has to say about this…

    Chief Justice Roberts came in with the hope of producing more unanimous decisions from the Court. While today’s decision was 5-4, it was actually unanimous on one point: there is an individual right protected by the Second Amendment. The split came over the important question of the scope of the right and whether the D.C. law itself was constitutional, but the underlying individual-right theory prevailed over a collective- or states-right interpretation that would give no single person the ability to challenge any type of arms regulation. Thus, an idea that not so long ago seemed radical and even frivolous to many academics and judges now has the assent of all of the Justices, representing a wide range of views about constitutional law and theory.

    http:// volokh. com/posts/1214514180.shtml

    As the first lines in Justice Stevens’ own dissent comments, “The question presented by this case is not whether the Second Amendment protects a ‘collective right’ or an ‘individual right.’ Surely it protects a right that can be enforced by individuals.”

    So, Dear Reader… you can judge for yourself just who is “accurate or insightful.” And who is blowing smoke.

    Here’s a summary:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

    Notice the part where is says 5 to 4 decision?

    You wonder why I doubt your ability to comprehend and relate factual information?

    You wrote this:

    Nope… read it. ‘Militas’ and ‘Regulation’ figure heavily in the arguments.

    Half the Justices agree that the Government can regulate the possession and use of a fire arm… it is not a ‘blanket’ right but one subject to regulation.

    Which is all I’m arguing for… and all I have argued for.


  385. jack burton says:

    belac sez:

  388. belac says:

    That’s tricky wording, isn’t it.

    The right can be enforced by individuals… still, the argument that there is a universal individual right to keep and bear arms that cannot be subject to regulation is ridiculous…

    What’s more he says this… “The question presented by this case is not whether the Second Amendment protects a ‘collective right’ or an ‘individual right.’ ” Hmm… but didn’t you just say that’s EXACTLY what the ruling decides?

    Weird.

    Sensible regulation is all I’ve argued for.


  389. belac says:

    Classic case of projection…

    Where have you shown that the ‘individual’ right was not discussed and rejected THREE times in Philadelphia?

    A collective right may be enforced by individuals… indeed it must be.


  390. belac says:

    Sorry, son, but you can’t even get this one right. All nine justices “agree that the Government can regulate the possession and use of a fire arm…”

    Great!

    Then let’s get down to it, shall we?


  391. belac says:

    Here’s something from Steven’s dissention as well:

    The parallels between the Second Amendment and
    these state declarations, and the Second Amendment’s
    omission of any statement of purpose related to the right
    to use firearms for hunting or personal self-defense, is
    especially striking in light of the fact that the Declarations
    of Rights of Pennsylvania and Vermont did expressly
    protect such civilian uses at the time. Article XIII of
    Pennsylvania’s 1776 Declaration of Rights announced that
    “the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of
    themselves and the state,”

    Finally, after the delegates at the Massachusetts Ratification
    Convention had compiled a list of proposed amendments
    and alterations, a motion was made to add to the
    list the following language: “[T]hat the said Constitution
    never be construed to authorize Congress to . . . prevent
    the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens,
    from keeping their own arms.” Cogan 181. This
    motion, however, failed to achieve the necessary support,
    and the proposal was excluded from the list of amendments
    the State sent to Congress.

    Weird… no explicit ‘individual’ right there… strange, I was told Stevens agreed.


  392. belac says:

    Seems Stevens knows his history, how about you Jack?


  393. jack burton says:

    belac sez:

    That’s tricky wording, isn’t it.

    The right can be enforced by individuals… still, the argument that there is a universal individual right to keep and bear arms that cannot be subject to regulation is ridiculous…

    Jack responds…

    Brrrrrrr… Classic strawman argument posted. No one here has argued, and it wasn’t argued in the Heller case, that the “right to keep and bear arms that cannot be subject to regulation is ridiculous”

    Since no one is arguing it pretty much gives away the idea that belac is bringing it up out of desperation and to sow confusion.

    Pitiful.

    belac sez:

    What’s more he says this… “The question presented by this case is not whether the Second Amendment protects a ‘collective right’ or an ‘individual right.’ ” Hmm… but didn’t you just say that’s EXACTLY what the ruling decides?

    Jack responds…

    Of course, silly, the case isn’t about it… because he concedes in the VERY NEXT sentence that they all agree with the individual right.

    belac sez:

    Sensible regulation is all I’ve argued for.

    Jack sez:

    That’s as much of an outright lie that I’ve seen in months.


  394. belac says:

    Of course, silly, the case isn’t about it… because he concedes in the VERY NEXT sentence that they all agree with the individual right.

    The very next line.
    Surely it protects a right that can be enforced by individuals.

    Does it say granted and I missed it?

    Yeah, you can. you can say ‘individual’ which they didn’t… three times… and you left of the preamble again, why?

    A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State,

    They did include that, why?

    The term militia is commonly used today to refer to a military force composed of ordinary citizens[1] to provide defense, emergency law enforcement, or paramilitary service, in times of emergency without being paid a regular salary or committed to a fixed term of service. It is a polyseme with multiple distinct but related meanings. Legal and historical meanings of militia include:

    Defense activity or service, to protect a community, its territory, property, and laws.[2]
    The entire able-bodied population of a community, town, county, or state, available to be called to arms.
    A subset of these who may be legally penalized for failing to respond to a call-up.
    A subset of these who actually respond to a call-up, regardless of legal obligation.
    A private, non-government force, not necessarily directly supported or sanctioned by its government.

    Well, you can ask me… or you can ask the Congress of the United STates…

    Section 311 of US Code Title 10, entitled, “Militia: composition and classes” in its entirety:

    “(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

    (b) The classes of the militia are —

    (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

    (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.”

    If you look to history then a militia is a group of citizens who are required to take up arms to defend the country. Back in those days 1600’s- 1700’s and later they were also required to own a fire arm for use in the defense of the country. this requirement was due to the governments inability to supply guns at a moments notices in much of the country.

    Any thoughts on why they explicitly excluded ‘individual’ and ‘own’ from the Bill of Rights?

    Someone commented on that, who was it? Oh, Justice Stevens!

    The parallels between the Second Amendment and
    these state declarations, and the Second Amendment’s
    omission of any statement of purpose related to the right
    to use firearms for hunting or personal self-defense, is
    especially striking in light of the fact that the Declarations
    of Rights of Pennsylvania and Vermont did expressly
    protect such civilian uses at the time. Article XIII of
    Pennsylvania’s 1776 Declaration of Rights announced that
    “the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of
    themselves and the state,”

    Finally, after the delegates at the Massachusetts Ratification
    Convention had compiled a list of proposed amendments
    and alterations, a motion was made to add to the
    list the following language: “[T]hat the said Constitution
    never be construed to authorize Congress to . . . prevent
    the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens,
    from keeping their own arms.” Cogan 181. This
    motion, however, failed to achieve the necessary support,
    and the proposal was excluded from the list of amendments
    the State sent to Congress.

    You had two positions… now you’re down to one.

    150 years ago the biggest racists were Democrats. They started a civil war over it.

    Okay.
    What’s that got to do with who’s the biggest racist today?
    That’s a silly argument to have but ‘150 years ago the biggest racists were Democrats’ doesn’t really tell you anything about racism today, does it?

    The express exclusion of a mention of an individual right to bear arms at the writing of the Bill of Rights can give us insight into the ‘intent’ of the Founder’s thought, can’t it?

    I was called a racist by RHF. He has no idea who I am. Yet he makes statements like that. I just wanted to know that there are many Democrat Racists in the country. You don’t have to be white to be a racist.

    As far as the writing of the “Bill Of Rights” and the “Constitution” goes belac, it took a decade to write it and be approved. Many things were added and removed before the final document was signed.

    It’s an interesting bit of history. Did you know that there was an anti-Bill of Rights. To use the fact that many things were changed isn’t a very good argument for the finished product.

    You had two positions… now you’re down to one.

    Then why did the Founder’s vote three times to exclude ‘individual rights’ from the Bill of Rights?

    I think original intent is a stupid way to view the Constitution… but if you’re going to base your argument on that, shouldn’t you be consistent?

    I still support the regulation of arms in a well regulated militia, as I’ve always done.

    Shred away… it tickles!

    To use the fact that many things were changed isn’t a very good argument for the finished product.

    My argument is that you are only going to look at the ‘original intent’ of the Founders you have a long way to go to ignore the fact that they had an opportunity to include ‘individual rights’ explicitly in the document and each time they voted no…


  499. jack burton says:

    belac sez:

    But that portion is significantly changed by the part that came before… which is why it was included and ‘individual’ was not.

    I could go ON and ON, but even a MORON LIKE YOU should GET THE POINT? ;)

    Yet you still offer no facts that the GOP is planning a revolution and are going to attack the Government. Where did the guy in Main get the radioactive material for his dirty bomb. What Al Qaeda cell was he working for?

    You’re certainly welcome to try to find one where a CCW holder made things worse in a public shoot out. And certainly there would be anti-gun websites trumpeting them from the housetop if such things existed. Should be easy for you to come up with dozens of your examples.

    Yes, you won the case this time.

    But, as many others have pointed out, if Scalia bases his argument on original intent and then ignores not only the evidence of the THREE times the founder’s rejected the inclusion of an ‘individual’ right as well as the many times ‘whole categories’ of firearms have been banned by a State or Local Government that doesn’t make it the most intellectually coherent argument, does it?

    Takes a little mental gymnastics, don’t it?

    When will you address the need for a better system of regulation? Like, say, Switzerland’s… which is what I’ve advocated since YESTERDAY.


  504. jack burton says:

    Norris claims that; “Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation.” The right wing cells will meet during a live telecast, “We Surround Them,” on Friday March 13 at 5 p.m.

    You mean concerned citizens who don’t care to see the contry on a path to Socialism.

    means that they thought that it COULD be construed that way in it’s current form.

    From your favorite Law.com, Jack.

    http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202422582170

    But the landmark ruling, which placed bitter divisions on the Court on full display, is likely to mark the beginning, not the end, of litigation over Second Amendment rights as gun owners and local governments test the contours of the right enunciated by the Court.

    Scalia wrote that the right he was announcing, as with other constitutional rights, “is not unlimited.” The ruling should not “cast doubt,” he added, on restrictions such as barring possession of firearms by felons or the mentally ill or forbidding carrying arms near schools or in government buildings. He also indicated that the use of certain types of weapons could be restricted without running afoul of the Second Amendment.

    But the majority did not define a standard of review for judging which restrictions are or are not constitutional, and it did not specifically rule that the Second Amendment applies to the states — a step that the Court has taken in the past to ensure that other parts of the Bill of Rights limit state as well as federal restrictions on individuals.

    Hmm, strange- I heard they all agreed.

    There you are again with your attempted strawman argument. Since you’ve never, ever once since I came on made any such argument for the role of the militia you can not honestly in any way post what I think about your view.

    Can you?

    And you don’t know what I prefer, either. Do you?

    But one of us posted the actual, legal, definition of the milita and it was not you doing the posting, eh.


  560. jay says:

    belac the ruling was long and complicated. It touched on many aspects of the citizens right to keep and bear arms. In many instances they all agreed. One was the right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. That was unanimously agreed on and stated so. You need to read the complete decision and not just pick and choose what serves to make your point.

    The 5 to 4 ruling was on the DC gun Laws which was the reason the Supreme Court was in session.

    What National Guard?

    Archie:
    We all know how this is eating away at you. I am smarter than you. Better educated than you. Way more handsome than you and on top of it all you have nowhere to turn for help as you lack any support in your community. Even total losers can muster a buddy to try and defend them when they are too weak and inferior to do it themselves. I can make you eat my own shit and you can do nothing about it and you will do it because you are too scared and confused not to. This is so pitiful. How can you live with yourself.

    And you don’t know what I prefer, either. Do you?

    NO!

    You won’t say… strange!

    You posted the definition of militia… hmm, doesn’t conflict with anything I’ve posted, does it?

    Any male aged 17 to 45 who is not in the National Guard is part of the ‘unorganized militia’

    How does this conflict with my desire for a right to keep and bear arms in a ‘well-regulated militia’

    Hmm?

    oh and this…

    I merely point out that the ruling does not make something a ‘fact’ like the earth being round… apples and oranges.
    see Dred Scot v. Sandford.

    jack responds…

    Factual enough for me…

    Dred Scot is factual to you?

  570. belac says:

    jack- here’s what the legal scholars over at law.com write…

    Stevens’ unusually pointed dissent accused the majority of injecting the Court into what are essentially political debates over gun control. The decision, he wrote, “will surely give rise to a far more active judicial role in making vitally important national policy decisions than was envisioned at any time in the 18th, 19th, or 20th centuries.”

    By contrast Scalia insisted that he was acting with judicial modesty.

    “Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem,” Scalia wrote. “That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.”

    Justice Stephen Breyer also penned a dissent, arguing that even if the Second Amendment articulates an individual right, the D.C. gun ban is reasonable and constitutional. As a response to high levels of urban violence, Breyer said, the handgun ban is “a permissible legislative response to a serious, indeed life-threatening, problem.”


  571. jack burton says:

    belec sez:

    David Duke, phone call for Rep. David Duke…

    jack responds…

    Nice try but people who know the truth know that Duke was thrown out of the Pubbies and Bryd is the senior Dim senator.

    Perhaps you see that as the same… but I think the Dear Readers really understand the difference. Which squeezed your little remaining crediblity into a smaller box.

    ANOTHER REPUBLICAN that doesn’t know about the NATIONAL GUARD! It’s KATRINA INCOMPETENCE all OVER AGAIN!! ROTFL!!

    Well why don’t you tell me about the national guard that was around when the 2 nd amendment was written. You keep saying that a “Well Regulated Militia” is the National guard. In 1789 there was no National Guard. All there was were citizens who would be called up in case of a national emergency. They were also required to bring their own gun. You should read what a Militia consists of. No, I know you won’t. It doesn’t support your opinion. We are talking about the 2nd amendment when it was written right?

    Or are you talking about what you are trying to turn it into today.


  573. belac says:

    Dred Scott established that slaves and their descendants were not and could never be citizens under the Constitution… suck it all you anti-slavery Flat Earthers, huh?

    The SCOTUS has RULED!


  574. jack burton says:

    Thank you for posting the Heller pdf where the Dear Readers can see quite well for themselves without any filter that the four justices who upheld the DC law also uphead the concept of the individual right to keep and bear arms.


  575. jack burton says:

    Bye for now, kids. It’s been fun but I know you all have your jr. high homework to get started on. Meanwhile, I’ve got adult stuff to take care of.

  576. belac says:

    We are talking about the 2nd amendment when it was written right?

    Or are you talking about what you are trying to turn it into today.

    Are we?

    jack says that we should ignore the three times they voted against including an individual right ’cause they thought they’d spelled it out enough… I’m skeptical… but that’s the problem with original intent, isn’t it? You can never be sure exactly what the Founders meant when they wrote it… only how it’s been understood…

    So either we’re back to that Judicial Activist Scalia again or we can move forward and talk about how to regulate that militia…

    ROTFL! What a DUM BASS STATEMENT! So YOU ARE ACTUALLY SAYING that if A *SPECIFIC* WELL REGULATED MILITIA didn’t exist then, it isn’t a WELL REGULATED MILITIA? ROTFL! What DUM BASS MORONIC ARGUMENT! The NATIONAL GUARD is the VERY EXPRESSION of a WELL REGULATED MILITIA – DUM BASS! The fact that it DIDN’T EXIST THEN doesn’t MATTER, it QUALIFIES!

    jay Says:
    Or are you talking about what you are trying to turn it into today.

    It STILL IS a MILITIA – DUM BASS!

    With a National army in existence then why would you even mention a Militia?

    Could it be because they were afraid of the Government getting too large and oppressive. The fact that the Founders wanted it’s citizens to have firearms is because they didn’t want the Government to be the only ones with firearms. It was discussed many time between 1776 and 1789.

    Thomas Jefferson wrote many papers on the problem of the government getting too much power. So did Benjamin Franklin.

    It’s no different today. There may become a time when a citizen army might have to be called up to stabilize the country. Just as was expressed during the writing of the Constitution and the amendments to the constitution. Of course you could never see something like that ever happening but it was a danger in the past. It could also be a danger in the future.

    “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” Thomas Jefferson

    You go around calling people.

    My point is why even mention it in the Constitution if you already have a standing army???

    The PRIVATE CITIZEN language was ALREADY IN EXISTENCE in state CONSTITUTIONS and was DISCARDED for this. So NOPE, that was NOT What the SECOND AMENDMENT WAS ABOUT! I SUGGEST you F**KING READ the THREAD and the LINK I *KINDLY* pointed out you should READ before OPENING YOUR IGNORANT MOUTH ON THE SUBJECT!

    republicans hate facts Says:

    Let me PUT THIS ANOTHER WAY jay the j*ck*ss.

    Standing armies are PROFESSIONAL SOLDIERS, who are FULL TIME and who are PAID and HOUSED in a MILITARY BARRACKS. That’s GREAT for SOME THINGS. However LARGE DISASTERS and/or ISSUES can require QUICKER, LOCAL mobilization. Militia was the ORIGINAL MODEL of *PROFESSIONAL* soldiering for MUCH of the GREEK WORLD and STILL UNDERPINS disaster and unexpected need for defense and dealing with UNREST. They aren’t for CREATING UNREST which is what YOU and NORRIS and the rest of your TEXAS TALIBAN HILLBILLIES *BELIEVE* a militia is for!

    MOST COUNTRIES have both a FULL TIME and MILITIA FORCE that is organized by the government for THIS REASON – MORON!

    And when it is mentioned in the Constitution they were referring to the American Citizen that would be called up in the event of a national disaster or uprising by any force including a military take over. That is why they wanted the American Citizen to keep and bear arms. You can’t ask an opposing force to give you a gun, now can you?

    Who’s the moron who doesn’t see the reason they purposely included an amendment that would allow the citizens of this country to stand up for the Nation when called on to do so.

    The Chuck Norris thing is just some of your hate poking through. OBTW I don’t know Chuck Norris.


  589. jay says:

    What “Unrest” am I causing? You seem to be the one with all the hate, not me.


  590. jay says:

    No, a WELL ORGANIZED MILITIA is in the CONSTITUTION, not the AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN DUM BASS! That’s EXACTLY what the NATIONAL GUARD DOES YOU IGNORANT RUBE! READ THE F**KING COURT CASE!

    There was no such court case when the amendment was written.

    Any group of citizens who meet and train are considered well regulated. It doesn’t say it has to be well regulated by the Federal Government does it?

    You’re the rube Pal for trying to force others to think as you do. You are the one who is putting this country in danger when you spread your hate. Hate is all consuming. You need some help Pal.

Yet when PEOPLE who DID SERVE like Cleland or Kerry come into the picture you pick a draft dodging p*ssy instead… So WHAT RELEVANCE does SERVICE HAVE in YOUR BOOK – P*ssy? Since you seem to CARE SO LITTLE for the CONSTITUTION that you SUPPOSEDLY SERVED TO PROTECT? Tell me that JUNIOR?

    And you served where? I love the Constitution unlike you. I also love my country. I also have respect for others unlike you. I have better manners unlike you. I can post without using *** to fill in my words unlike you.

    So you didn’t serve but you put down people who did. Are you one of those who spat at returning soldiers or maybe a “phony soldiers”?

    The host of Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor” has been advising his sizable audience — ad nauseam — to dump GE shares. In fact, even as stockpickers on CNBC, a GE asset, were recommending GE stock, O’Reilly was saying sell, sell, sell!

    It’s no secret that O’Reilly has been using his top-rated show in a feud with NBC Universal, especially MSNBC, for years.

    When he’s being kind, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann will refer to O’Reilly as “Billo” or compare him to Ted Baxter. But oftentimes it’s something more seething, like “the Sisyphus of morons” or, on several occasions, “the worst person in the world.”

    Having served seven years in the guard, called up for Desert Storm,and having been raised by a gunsmith, I consider myself qualified to comment. Please look at the data for gun deaths over the last four decades.If broken down by gun type, guns in the assault weapons class are resposible for very few statistically. What is even more telling is that the smallest,lowest power round available is responsible for the most deaths- the 25 auto. These small guns are easily hidden in a coat or pants pocket and have just enough power to penetrate the skull and bounce around inside. The deaths by firearms for every year I have seen contain at least 50% by suicide. The Guard at one time was a militia, but do to funding issues now comprises more than 60% of the forces to be used in any conflict of size and your state cannot refuse to deploy them when called up by the Feds.
    Cars are drive by choice, and the right to drive has no constitutional protections. Arguing the ” Well Regulated” part of the ammendment if you want, but with the recent court decision that held guns are for self-defence, it just smacks of the same refusal to accept the law that the opposition shows toward Roe-Wade. There was no measureable reduction in the rate of use of assault weapons in crimes when the ban was in place.
    As to passing more gun laws, the opposition is waiting for us to be that stupid. No other topic energizes their base more, not even abortion. If you don’t think so, go back and watch Bill Clintons comments about what a price the party paid for the Assault Weapons Ban.

    What about all of the hippies just MINDING THEIR BUSINESS that were CONSTANTLY ATTACKED in the HAIGHT and ELSEWHERE? You gonna say THEY DESERVED IT because *SOMEONE* spit on you?

    Of course not. That has nothing to do with what happened to me. Why would I say it would be OK by me. Boy you’re reaching now.

    Look, if you aren’t going to be intelligent in your posts to me then post to someone else. Your stupidity is just too far reaching and makes no sense to a normal thinking person.

    alpuz3, a VET did the same thing during the Iraq conflict. Went around claiming people were spitting at him. Too bad he did it in front of cameras that documented he was a psycho LIAR like jay is!

    Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. So you say. It has nothing to do with what happened to me.


  624. alpuz3 says:

    RHF, yes… as did the good rev that jay/archie quoted earlier.

    C’mon. jay… you have to convince me that you’re not a despicable liar with a wacky right wing agenda.

    ROTFL!! Yeah SURE!! What a DUM BASS UNSUBSTANTIATED IGNORANT LIE as USUAL!

    Well to BEGIN WITH a RACE WAR was NOT a LIBERAL POSITION. Second of all what you are DESCRIBING is an ANARCHIST not a LIBERAL – you IGNORANT PIECE OF SH*T MORON!

    Neither was a SERIAL KILLER you IGNORANT JACK*SS!

    FUNNY how WELL REGULATED MILITIA describes the NATIONAL GUARD VERY WELL! Yeah, they ALSO saw RELIGIOUS F**KING IDIOTS like YOU trying to be the TEXAS TALIBAN! Those FOUNDING FATHERS were a lot SMARTER than a DUM BASS HILLBILLY LIKE YOU! ;

    SAYS the pitiful c*nt that doesn’t own a DICTIONARY! ;)

    EXCESSIVE D*CKISHNESS, a GRASPING sense of SELF SUPERIORITY grounded in a DEEP SEATED INSECURITY brought on by CHILDHOOD NEGLECT and BAD PARENTING resulting in a NEED to DEMONSTRATE SUPERIORITY to THEMSELVES through the REJECTION OF REALITY and formation of a COGNITIVE DISSONANCE that PRECLUDES them facing their OWN FEARS about a LACK OF SELF WORTH. All while being an evasive, dishonest, pedantic and passive aggressive d!ckhead. Yep, you’re a DIME A DOZEN! The GOP FEEDS on your PERSONAL INSECURITIES and you are HAPPY to BE THEIR USEFUL IDIOT! ;)

    YEAH WELL, the GERMANS were ALSO NAZIS after this point, so are the GERMANS ALL STILL NAZIs? In the MEAN TIME the GOP HAS BECOME A GROUP OF RACIST PIGS and the DEMOCRATS elected a BLACK MAN TO BE PRESIDENT! Only a F**KING RACIST like YOU would DARE claim the DEMOCRATS are the RACIST ONES!!

    What can we expect from someone who just whines all day about Republicans. His hate is all consuming. Someone tell him that the Dems won the election.

    He’ll be in shock after the next election in two years though. Things are changing.

    You two sure do like a good pi**ing match. I went to bed and got up and you were still at it. Small wonder that the Russians think were headed into civil war. If I was Russian and I had read what you two had written, I’d put the Kremlin on alert, after taking something to ease the headache. Goodnight to both of you, sleep well. The good thing about this country is that we can always start again tommorow.


  647. jay says:

    It’s all going to start with The Democrats losing seats in the House and Senate. It won’t be a landslide, just a trickle at first. Then on to the Presidential election. We have plenty of time and will be patient.

    Once the people start to pay for this Spending Spree and see what it really cost and realize that it isn’t helping then it will change.

    The increase in the gas tax. property taxes, food prices, carbon tax and all the little taxes that will be added is going to change minds.

    There are Democrats in the House (about 40) that don’t like what they are seeing already. Nancy Pelosi has lost all respect in the country, Harry Reid will lose in his state also.

    SO MUCH for how AMERICA FEELS about OBAMA’S DIRECTION!! ROTFL! ;)

    Come on FRED are you REALLY gonna play this LITTLE GAME OF LIES, I can KEEP POSTING! ;)

    Polls don’t mean a thing this early in the game but you go on believing in them.

    When the taxes hit the polls will change. We have plenty of time. It will be the people who will decide this one. Even acorn won’t be able to fix the next two elections like they did this past one. You see the Blacks will be asked to pay up also.

    Only those committed to Obie the Messiah will be left to kiss his feet. When Obie fails to woo them with his rhetoric then they will leave also. It wasn’t that close the first time around. 46 to 54.


  649. jay says:

    Maybe Obie will succeed and the country will turn socialist.

    RHF, you keep up what your doing though. It’s hateful people like you who will champion our cause. The GOP isn’t going anywhere soon. We have time on our side. You have whiners like rhf.


  650. jay says:

    It will only take 7% of the undecided vote to put an end to Obies rein. That’s all. We have time.


  651. jay says:

    Hey, what do you think of your Democratic friend Maddoff going to jail?


  652. jay says:

    You know jay calling an immensely popular president “the messiah” and a “communist”

    It was your Liberal friends that called him the Messiah, remember?

    I never called him a “Communist” but you do have a problem with the English language don’t you?


  653. jay says:

    All it will take is 7% of the undecided vote and the way they will be hit by the new tax increases that will be easy to get. Time will tell after all we have plenty of time. It won’t happen right away but it will happen.


  654. jay says:

    Hey, no comment on your pal Maddoff going to jail huh.


  655. jay says:

    But that’s EXACTLY what he was called on FOX NEWS yesterday. What do you THINK about THAT?

    I’m not Fox news and you said I called him a “Communist”. Again you don’t understand English do you?

    But, But he was your man. One of your fold.


  658. jay says:

    Right now rhf is searching the internet trying to prove that Maddoff wasn’t a Democrat.

    jay Says:

    Not at all jay, he was both a well known democrat and someone that the entire jewish community of the country trusted. He was also a sociopath who has bilked the wealth of an entire generation of american jews and jewish charities. The whole thing is very sad for everyone. Just imagine how much of that could have been avoided if the GOP hadn’t blocked proper SEC funding and regulations…

    But, But, he was one of yours. A kindly Liberal Democrat wasn’t he. No major headlines here on what a crook he was.

    Oh I forgot you only attack Republicans with your hate. So much for your self righteous posts.


  661. jay says:

    But the EXCEPTION doesn’t PROVE THE RULE. You seem to always MISS that concept! ;)

    Only when you have to deal with Democrats. Republicans are a different story, right?

    Not at all, I said he should go to jail along with ANYONE THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE, you’re just TOO ILLITERATE to UNDERSTAND! ;)

    Can you only call names. It seems that you couldn’t post without doing it.

    I have posted all the meanings you want from me here already. I suggest you go look them up. I’m not in the habit of posting the same information over and over for hateful people like you. It’s there, go find it.

    This morning on ABC News “This Week”, Republican Senator LIndsey Graham and Rep. Peter King both argued nationalizing banks may be in order while Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Maxine Waters opposed such a move.

    So? Your point is that some Dems don’t care to nationalize the banks. Good for them.

    OBTW your friend Chuck took massive amounts of money from Bernie in campaign funds. They were close friends.


  670. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    What’s your last name jay, and where do you live since you see no problem in divulging private information here?

  671. jay says:

    BUSH *CUT* the SEC :(

    Bush had nothing to do with it. It started long before Bush. Some time back during the Carter administration I think. You go on with your Bush Bashing. I don’t mind.


  672. jay says:

    So tell me “jay” how many DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF CONGRESS have suggested SOCIALISM for the BANKS? So far I CAN ONLY FIND REPUBLICANS! ;)

    That’s because you are only looking for Republicans.

    NOTHING? ROTFL! Yeah BUSH only OVERSAW wall street for THE LAST EIGHT YEARS!!! Calling for DEREGULATION and LET THE MARKET REGULATE ITSELF!! He had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

    And *YES* deregulation DID make a LEAP under Carter thanks to the GOP PEELING off BLUE DOGS. Still MORE OF THE SAME B*LLSH*T of RayGUNomics talking free market DEREGULATION! You TARDS are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE in making ENRON and MADOFF POSSIBLE! f88king loSERs!

    Your right. It also was rampant during the Clinton administration. Poor bill signed so many bills deregulating all kinds of stuff. Gotta hand it to old Bill.

    OBTW My name is Jay, what’s yours? Sockpuppet?

    Feb 20, 2009 … The banks must really be in trouble if Schumer think we should nationalize the banks. “Huffington Post”

    Senator Graham may support nationalizing banks; by Anthony G. Martin; Columbia Conservative Examiner; February 18, 2009. …

    Detoxify Banks and Get Back To Business
    Nationalized detoxification appears the only way to plug the leak in the banking dam. Bank of America and Citigroup have each received $45 billion from the government in recent months. Management at both institutions has come under severe scrutiny. Taxpayers are clearly reluctant to continue the bailout trend and Washington is scrambling for solutions.

    Secretary Geithner has indicated that 25 banks with assets more than $100 billion each will be subjected to “stress tests” to assess their capital needs. The White House acknowledged that a sense of bailout fatigue has gained strength. Detoxified nationalization may well be the least painful alternative.

    After the detoxification program, the government will apply stringent lending and qualifying practices to these monitored institutions. The nationalization strategy appears to have support from both sides of the aisle as well as from Allen Greenspan who described “government intervention as the least bad alternative left.”

    Nationalization of failing “stress test” banks is now seen as the possible savior of capitalism. The sooner these nationalized mini-banks are returned to the private side, the quicker we return to capitalism and the sooner the taxpayer’s recover their nervous investments.

    Your just a sockpuppet with a foul mouth. The compulsive liar is the one who hides behind a sock name.

    Sorry Pal. If you’re such a paranoid poster that you don’t want people to know your first name then so be it. What are you hiding except your dishonesty.

Then again it’s posted by a sockpuppet hiding in the shadows trying to make people think that he is some kind of thinking, caring person. What a LIAR a sock puppet can be especially a Troll sockpuppet. So who cares.

    Sockpuppet nonsense from a liar who is trying to impress people. He don’t impress me. Maybe this sockpuppet troll impresses someone else. He just keeps reposting the same garbage over and over and over.


  702. jay says:

    Ouch! So much for COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE! The GOP doesn’t give a d*mn about children once they’re out of the womb!

    It don’t bother me one bit. But then again anything coming from a sockpuppet is just nonsense anyway. They try to convince people that they care but if you can’t tell someone what your first name is and have to hide behind a sock, then they are living a lie. That’s wwhat a LIAR is.


  703. jay says:

    Increases in gun ownership lead to a higher gun-homicide rate and legislation allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons does not reduce crime, according to a recent NBER Working Paper by Mark Duggan.

    OOPS!

    It will for me sockpuppet. You see I know how to defend myself. But who cares what a troll sockpuppet has to say. Right?


  712. jay says:

    ROTFL!!! The GOP DELUSION IS TOO F**KING FUNNY!!! You know that METH won’t COOK ITSELF! ROTFL! ;)

    You better get to it then I guess troll sockpuppet.


  713. jay says:

    My gun has killed less people then Ted Kennedy’s car has.


  714. jay says:

    My gun has killed less people than Ted Kennedy’s car has.


  715. jay says:

    YET you don’t have a RIGHT to THAT GUN under the CONSTITUTION,

    Blah, blah blah, blah. In my State I do troll sockpuppet.


  716. jay says:

    RIGHTS are what’s in the CONSTITUTION, and SORRY but YOU DON’T have a RIGHT to that gun according to the CONSTITUTION! ;)

    Try the 10th amendment troll. Until the feds say it’s illegal then it is legal. The Constitution you know.


  717. jay says:

    What no comeback troll?


  718. jay says:

    Right now the Troll sockpuppet is looking up the 10th amendment.


  719. jay says:

    What’s the problem Troll. I have a copy of the Constitution on my desk, don’t you?


  720. jay says:

    What’s the problem troll sockpuppet? It’s such a small amendment, only two lines.


  721. jay says:

    LEGALITY != RIGHT DUM BASS!

    Rights are things GUARANTEED by the CONSTITUTION! I REPEAT MY ADVICE – BUY A DICTIONARY YOU ILLITERATE RUBE!

    What was that troll. I do have the right to keep and bear arms and I don’t have to be in a militia?

    C’mon say it troll. I can’t here you. The Troll sockpuppet has just been put in his place by dumb ass ol’ me.


  722. jay says:

    Says the LAME TROLL that can ONLY PROJECT!! ROTFL! ;

    Your the troll sockpuppet here. My name is jay, what’s yours?


  723. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    There’s also that INCONVENIENT FACT that the *STRAINED* reading of SCALIA and the rest of the FEDERALIST BUMS would mean that TANKS, FIGHTER JETS and any other ADVANCE WEAPONRY would be *LEGAL* in order to *DEFEND* ourselves FROM OUR GOVERNMENT!! That JUDICIAL ACTIVISM is one CRAZY THING when the GOP DOES IT!! ROTFL! ;)

    Lame argument from a troll sockpuppet. Doesn’t mean a thing. Now lets here it troll. I have the right under the constitution to keep and bear arms without belonging to a militia. Admit that all your past two days of rantings are meaningless dribble.


  724. jay says:

    I don’t own a jet or a tank or any advanced weaponry troll. Lame argument. You’re deflecting again.


  725. jay says:

    The RIGHT isn’t granted by the CONSTITUTION, it’s only CURRENTLY LEGAL because the ACTIVIST FEDERALIST JUDGES *REFUSE* to HONOR the constitution! That TOO shall PASS! ;)

    Now, now troll. You’re trying to tell me that the 10th amendment isn’t part of the Constitution. Who’s the dumb ass.

    You were completely wrong in your rantings of the past two days. Now let me here it sockpuppet, I have the right to keep and bear arms and that right comes from the Constitution of The United states and I don’t have to be a member of a Militia.. C’mon.


  726. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    Scalia got his *ss whooped in the decision, much like the BEATING that I GAVE YOU! He was as CLUELESS and IGNORANT as YOU ARE! ;)

    Right.


  727. jay says:

    CLUELESS and IGNORANT as YOU ARE! ;)

    It would seem that I’m a bit smarter than the sockpuppet. He’s had it handed to him but will never admit that he was wrong. Well he is just a sockpuppet liar, right?


  728. jay says:

    Now, now troll. You’re trying to tell me that the 10th amendment isn’t part of the Constitution. Who’s the dumb ass.

    You were completely wrong in your rantings of the past two days. Now let me here it sockpuppet, I have the right to keep and bear arms and that right comes from the Constitution of The United states and I don’t have to be a member of a Militia.. C’mon.

    Trying to change the subject troll sockpuppet. Of course you are.

    You were completely wrong in your rantings of the past two days. Now let me here it sockpuppet, I have the right to keep and bear arms and that right comes from the Constitution of The United states and I don’t have to be a member of a Militia.. C’mon.

    I’ll correct my own tyo. hear


  730. jay says:

    I didn’t think you were man enough.


  731. jay says:

    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    That’s what is says troll sockpuppet but it doesn’t mean you have to be a member of a militia to own a firearm as you have constantly been yelling. Your mind is clouded by your dogma. But then again you are just a troll sockpuppet that has just been put in his place bu stupid ol’ me..


  732. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    jay Says:
    I didn’t think you were man enough.

    Coming from a p*ssy sock puppet that DOESN’T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH GRAMMAR – that REALLY HURT!! ROTFL! ;)

    Right. Your Not man enought. I get it.


  733. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    In one description, known to grammarians as an ablative absolute, the Second Amendment has been considered formed with an opening justification clause, followed by a declarative clause. Under this interpretation, the opening phrase is considered essential as a pre-condition for the main clause. This was a grammar structure that was common during that era. This grammatical description is considered by some to be consistent with the concept of the Second Amendment as protecting a collective right to firearms for members serving in a select militia.

    OOPS! Looks like JAY’S ATROCIOUS GRAMMAR – STRIKES AGAIN!! ROTFL!!

    You really lost it sockpuppet. I didn’t write that. You just aren’t man enough to admit he was wrong. What can you say about a Troll Sockpuppet. Just no a man at all.


  734. jay says:

    I didn’t think you were man enough.

    And there you have it. Not really a man at all. Just a sock puppet liar..


  735. jay says:

    ablative absolute look it up! ;)

    Not my words troll.

    How abut you looking up “being a man” sockpuppet.


  736. jay says:

    I NEVER SAID that I WAS A MAN. I never said ANYTHING about MY GENDER. ;)

    What I DID SAY is that YOU are an ILLITERATE p*ssy with BAD SPELLING and GRAMMAER, and I CLEARLY ESTABLISHED it TO BE TRUE! ;)

    Blah, blah, blah, blah. If you’re a sockpuppet how would anyone tell. If you’re not a man then you’re a vulgar woman. That’s even worse. What should some one call you sockpuppet loser who can’t admit that they were wrong and wasted two days spouting dribble? I may make typo’s but you were wrong.


  737. jay says:

    Says the INSECURE LITTLE BOY who was too big of P*SSY to BE A MAN TODAY!!

    I’m quite secure and you were wrong. Admit it troll sockpuppet who now claims he is not a man and is hiding behind her skirt.

    You do have issues troll sockpuppet. That’s why you wouldn’t give me your name. You’re ashamed to admit that you are a woman. Some issues there troll?


  738. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    So the TARD is PARSING the SECOND AMENDMENT for MEANING yet it DOESN’T KNOW what ablative absolute means! ROTFL!! That’s JUST TOO FUNNY! But you know *I* am WRONG according to the SOCK PUPPET!! IGNORANCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS when a CON is INVOLVED! ;)

    You were wrong Sally.


  739. jay says:

    So your a fan of William Harris. So what.


  740. jay says:

    The sock puppet has been put in it’s place. It’s not so smart after all. I have to say It’s because who knows what a gender a sockpuppet liar is. Oh well.


  741. jay says:

    republicans hate facts Says:

    ablative absolute consists of an opening justification clause, followed by a declarative clause.

    I’m sure you’ll need to look most of those words up, I’ll check back on you in a few hours when you’re done…

    Sorry “IT” I looked it up some time ago. It’s not important. What is important is that you were wrong and don’t have the character to admit it. But you are just a Troll Sockpuppet after all. You’re just trying to change the subject. Where are all the Militia post and all that crap that you were spewing all day?


  742. jay says:

    YES YOU HAVE JANE!!! But to BE FAIR, you NEVER STOOD A CHANCE! You have BAD GRAMMAR, BAD SPELLING and don’t anything other than HOW TO WHINE like a little p*ssy! ;)

    That’s not important is it? I put you in your place. I never said that I was perfect. No one is except you (in your mind) sockpuppet.

    I don’t claim to be anyone other than myself and use my own name unlike sockpuppet Troll. I know one thing, I’m not a vulgar person like you sockpuppet. Hey did I leave out the fact that you were wrong.


  743. jay says:

    Posting to yourself again. You are hard up. It must be so hard to be perfect with all those imperfect people around them?

    Well what can you expect from a vulgar troll who spells words with ***** in them. Sorry troll. Vulgarity isn’t my thing and for a perfect person as yourself it shows your upbringing.


  744. jay says:

    You had it handed to you today but you’ll never admit it Troll. Something in your ego and character I suspect.

    You think you are perfect but you really are lacking. Why do you use the caps so much? Troll stuff I presume.


  745. jay says:

    Well POLITE SOCIETY would consider the “*” a POLITE post, but VULGAR RUBES like YOU would PREFER TO READ THE REAL THING! It’s OK, you’re a PRODUCT OF YOUR CHILDHOOD! You can’t HELP being a VULGAR RUBE! ;)

    Just an excuse from you. Why do you need to do it at all? No it was meant to be vulgar and I take it as being vulgar. That’s your life now isn’t it? I’m the rube. Right.

    You have no character and you can’t admit that you were ever wrong about anything can you?


  746. jay says:

    no YOU USED to THINK you were PERFECT until I showed you what an IGNORANT MORON you are! ;) Now all you can is SLAP like the POWERLESS LITTLE B*TCH that we BOTH KNOW YOU TO BE! ;)

    There you go again. The weakness in your character pops its head. So you’re not as perfect as you tell yourself you are.

    Just a troll sockpuppet liar with a weak character and an inflated ego. Like many here.


  747. jay says:

    MAINLY to ANNOY people LIKE YOU! Glad it WORKS! ;)It doesn’t really bother me. I understand where it comes from. You. A weak minded person who has to resort to those tactics because you can’t exist here without it troll sockpuppet.


  748. jay says:

    Hey I just read that someone here was crying that the right to keep and bear arms isn’t in the Constitution unless you belong to a militia.

    They also have a problem with men. Chuck Norris for one.

    He sockpuppet Troll, what do you think?


  749. jay says:

    FUNNY PROJECTION coming from the TROLL! When you WIN A SINGLE ARGUMENT your ASSESSMENTS will CARRY MORE WEIGHT! ;)

    I won the major one today. You lost a major one today. Sockpuppet Troll.


  750. jay says:

    A WEAK MINDED person (ONLY) attacks the STYLE (ATROCIOUS PUNCTUATION) when they CAN’T defeat their ARGUMENTS! That’s why I had so MUCH FUN turning YOUR STUPIDITY back ONTO YOU JANE! ;) But a RUBE like YOU couldn’t POSSIBLY DISCUSS the LEGAL MERITS so this is ALL YA GOT! You’re just a WEAK MINDED PERSON who’s DESPERATE to FIND A FOOTING after CONSTANTLY LOSING EVERY POINT for the PAST TWO DAYS! I’ve DRIVEN YOU CRAZY and it’s SO FUN TO DO! ;) ROTFL!

    Yet all your militia nonsense was proven to be garbage.

    I enjoyed it. You can’t stand it that I use you and your nonsense as entertainment. You’re not special troll. Just a pawn for enjoyment.


  751. jay says:

    I could just picture you choking when I brought up my 10th amendment facts and you scrambling for something to counter me with. All you could come up with was the same old dribble that you have been spouting for the past two days. Not bad for a person with bad grammar.

    Ha Ha Ha Ha.


  752. jay says:

    The MORE YOU LOOK, the CRAZIER the FEDERALIST/GOP activist JUDGES and their MINDLESS MINIONS (Jane) seem to be! ;)

    Blah, blah, blah blah. More of the same ol’ same ol’. More sockpuppet troll garbage. Sadly it’s all you have.


  753. jay says:

    ROTFL!! SURE!!! I’m HAPPY to THROW YOUR TROLL SH!T back in your FACE! Can’t STAND IT! Sounds like Jane is PROJECTING AGAIN! Can’t BLAME YOU considering you CAME SO UNPREPARED to DEBATE! What else ya got other than this dribble? ;) ;)

    Blah, blah, blah, blah. Means nothing. You are entertaining though. More garbage from you. You continually post the same garbage over and over. It’s all you have. Your so shallow when you are reduced to repeating yourself. Heard it all before troll sockpuppet.


  754. jay says:

    Oh JANE, I had to go take a dump, all of your sh!t was giving me cramps! I can UNDERSTAND how SOMEONE as INSECURE AS YOU ARE would assume I had ABANDONED you though! That was SOME ROUGH CHILDHOOD HUH? ;)

    Ya right. I really believe that. Ha Ha Ha Ha.


  755. jay says:

    I have to go home now. Maybe I’ll check back in an hour or so to see what you post behind my back. I already know what it will be because you’re so predictable. Sockpuppets always are. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha LMAO


  756. jay says:

    How many BAD RELATIONSHIPS have you GONE THROUGH Jane? ;)

    Can’t win the argument resort to Character attacks. A big flaw in YOUR character sockpuppet.

    Hey when your myopic then sometimes you get smacked on the side of the head.

    Gotta go. Enjoy yourself. I know you will. You post to yourself all the time. Do you like reading your own dribble?

    See ya.


  757. jay says:

    see jANE in a BLOG, you POST INFO relative to the “TOPICS”, a conversation with a DYSFUNCTIONAL TROLL like YOU that is TOO INSECURE, BRITTLE and SELF LOATHING to have a RELATIONSHIP with OTHERS isn’t REQUIRED! ;)

    There, I’m GLAD I could EXPLAIN the NATURE OF BLOGGING to you. I know SMART PEOPLE things are DIFFICULT for RUBES LIKE YOU, that like to “dribble” on the keyboard!! ROTFL! ;)

    Maybe you should explain it to yourself. This is more of a forum than a blog. So you’re not that perfect after all. I’d dare to say that you’re not perfect at all if you get such a simple thing as this wrong.

    Thread
    A thread is a collection of posts, usually displayed – by default – from oldest to latest, although the option for a threaded view (a tree-like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order) can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarise the intended discussion, and an opening or original post (common abbreviation ‘OP’, which can also mean original poster) which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished.

    Just like here.


  767. jay says:

    ROTFL!! But SEE you DIDN’T *READ* the DEFINITION again! *USERS* not *ADMINISTRATORS* create threads in FORUMS!!

    Right. Ben Armbruster starts the thread with his left wing opinion on what happened with the sole purpose of allowing people like you to stroke his ego with your comments.

    Administrators are not restricted from starting threads.

    Maybe in your foggy brain they are.

    Sorry sockpuppet rhf, you used the wrong word. You just go on and make more excuses for your nonsense. You’re good at making excuses and vulgarity and also posting nonsense. It’s your trademark right? Myopic thought. Your ego is getting in the way. I’m still waiting for you to admit that the people in this country have the right to keep and bear arms. I’m not holding my breath though.

    People like you are all alike. That is why the GOP will make a comeback. The American people are beginning to see you for what you are and they don’t like it.

    You still got hosed piss ant.


  768. jay says:

    ROTFL! No we’re NEWEST FIRST, the OPPOSITE of what you claim, and USERS don’t create threads here. What an IDIOT little p*ssy!! It must s*ck for LOSE EVERY TIME!!! ROTFL!

    NO, but USERS ARE restricted from DOING IT on BLOGS unlike FORUMS!

    Not so. Any user can submit a written subject or news item for discussion here. What you didn’t know that?
    Got a hot tip?

    See ya. You go on posting your crap to someone who has gone to bed.

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha LMAO Cum’ on. Let me have more of your insecurity. The people here are dieing from the laughter.

    They want to end the day with some chuckles.


  780. jay says:

    Blah blah blah blah. Get a grip sockpuppet. Your nonsense isn’t making any points. A liberal tactic that I’ve seen sooooo many times. It doesn’t work on me. Your here posting on a three day old thread because you’re a stalker who can’t let it go. That means that you are on the hook and are flopping on the floor.

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha . LMAO.

    Post more garbage sockpuppet. The people here want to see how far you’re going to go with this weak defense of your intelligence. Sort of a Levophobia. on your part so to speak.

    Keep flopping. RLMAO

    The discussion about the second amendment will result, as we’ve seen, in inane chatter in which neither side will bend to the prowess of the other’s argument. Suffice it to say that this article is not about whether the Constitution grants or prohibits the right to bear these so-called “assault weapons”. It concerns a Republican who’s in a hissy fit because there is a very liberal man sitting in the Oval Office. Mr. Steele’s comments about the necessity of “assault weapons” borders on stupidity. The inclusion of the right to bear arms was for hunting, truly, but also for self defense and for defense of the State and Nation. When people ask, “why would you need such weapons as an AR-15 or an AK-47 (Kalashnikov knock offs)?” Your response should not entail hunting, but rather that you are exercising your rights and preparing yourself for a day that many hope and dream will never come: a day “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness” (Decl of Ind. 1776) Arguments concerning crime rates are farcical and the only response this user can give to anyone who considers them worth mentioning is that guns don’t kill people, people kill other people. Treat the people who could one day become the criminals, and you can avoid your statistics. Banning guns won’t cure a society.


  784. T.DeSastre says:

    Well said, devil dog. I think the main reason that talk centers around hunting and crime rates is because people are uncomfortable with the idea that we have the right and some would say the responsibility to overthrow the government, the aforementioned “Right of the People”. People tend to switch off after they hear that, and commonly assume you advocate overthrowing the government just because you disagree with it and you use lofty words and quotes from the founding fathers to justify your actions.

    And personally, I’m close to saying banning doesn’t work for anything. Legalize it all I say, and let the shit fall where it may.


  785. bumpfister says:

    WELL SAID,IT IS OUR DUTY TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THE GOVERNMENT FIRST.REMEMBER THE GOV IS EMPLOYEED BY THE STATES,AND WE ARE NOT A DEMOC,WE ARE A REPUBLIC.
