|
Had a chance to watch this last night and once again, they bring up gun owners as militiamen, anti-government extremists, gang-bangers, or mentally-deranged individuals throughout the film. The opening of the show began with Virgina Tech shootings and from there on it went downhill. Read the paper this am at work and they gave one persons view from his website.
According to him.
Quote
As a violence policy advocate, the steps needed to end gun violence are clear.
The First step is to take advantage of high profile incidents.
The Second step is to marginalize legal gun use and historic precedent.
The Third step is to make some guns seem more dangerous than others, even if they are not.
The Fourth step is to register every sale.
The Fifth step is a robust “Shall Issue” permitting process.
The Final step is to encourage and incentivize the forfeiture of arms.
Unquote.
Heres a link to the SOB's website.

The individual who writes this blog, "Gunbanner", is a nutcase and I think that any reasonable minded person would view him/her as exactly that.
The slurs, insults and speech he/she uses attests to his level of mentality. The mere fact that he/she actually promotes, and openly advertises, "massaging" statistics and telling lies not only displays his/her lack of integrity but also shows to whoever reads his/her blog that he/she is a person who cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
So, I believe that, albeit inadvertently, he/she is actually doing the pro-gun groups a favour by openly advertising the sort of person he/she actually is...one who cannot be trusted. I don't think I would loose any sleep over this individual's moronic rantings.
HOWEVER...never forget, it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. His/her rantings will be heard and believed by someone, and if that someone is in a position of authority in Government, then he/she has to an extent achieved part of their aim.
Cheers, Vince

This guy obviously has a screw loose somewhere. He's confirming that he and his Gun Grabbin' "Comrads" will do anything to further thier agenda. They are easy to dismiss, but we do so at our own peril.

What the lib's and doucher's can't seem to figure out, prolly never will, is guns are not going away. Ever. They will be a part of our history and culture forever. The thing we need to be aware of is all the restrictions theykeep trying to impose on us. Some of the courts here finally wised up and realised the State's are out of line with a lot of these restrictions. Ca. recently pulled two bill back they've been trying to get passed for two years.
The State Supreme Court justice told the Capitol to go pound sand.
Ya think with the billions of debt, out of control illgeal immigration bleeding the state teat dry and crime out of control they'd have something better to do than try and make criminals out of law abiding citzens.
Liberals make me sick and I challenge everyone I see- to their face. I love getting in a battle of witts with these unarmed idiots.
I also tell them to GTF out of the Country my forefathers faught for and made free that gave them the right to protest, and, if they are so unhappy here, the end of my size 9 Cowtown will be happy to give them a jump-start to their new home in Hati, Egypt, Iran or any other jackedup loser dirt bag country of their choice.
Liberals, kooks and hand wringers can SUCK IT.

As a gun owner, and concerned citizen. There are two goals: 1) keep guns out of the hands of criminals and crazies; 2) protect law abiding individuals' right to keep and bear arms (including the right to carry a firearm for self-defense).
Those goals are completely compatible, but unfortunately "gun control" groups are concerned only with goal #1 and work to undermine goal #2 and outright lie about their true aims.
The fact that the Brady Center and the rest are liars shouldn't stop us from working towards real solutions that might lessen violence in our society or become non-thinking absolutists.
I think that the current status quo is working just fine. The anti gunners push for more and more gun control and the NRA and other groups draw a line in the sand and refuse to compromise.
I have no problem with this.
Why?
Because whatever the anti gun movement gets will never be enough. When has any anti gun group ever closed up shop after getting their way. The Brady Campaign certainly didn't even though they got the background check and waiting periods that they wanted. They then moved on to the next set of laws that were on their wish list.
An Assault Weapon Ban and Hi Capacity Mag ban was passed and somehow the anti gun groups that supported this stayed in business afterwards.
They will never be satisfied until a total ban is in affect.
Gun owners will continue to be portrayed in the media and by anti gunners as violent, criminals, stupid or crazy. This supports their politics and their views.
I see no need for debate. Each side knows what it wants. Gun owners need to fight every new scheme instead of compromising away right after right.

I kinda like the one thing I read about a while back:
An "anti" and a gun owner were talking and the gun owner was trying to calmly discuss the issue, citing history and facts. The "anti" interrupts and says "Why don't you stop spouting all that BS and cut to the chase!" The gun owner looks him in the eye for a minute, then says "If you come to take our guns we will kill you."
Omini is right about "compromise". The anti-gunners are like a school yard bully, their idea of compromise is "If you give me all of your lunch money I won't beat you up today." They don't see that THEY are proving why WE need to be armed.

Stovey,
I get a picture in my mind that your a little tense about this subject.
Can't say I blame you, even in gods own here we got immigrant problems, I am constantly dealing with all manner of immagrant who doesn't want to live by our ideals and want to bring their form of fundamentalism into our culture....on their own terms and stuff everyone elses opinion.

you kick with your left Stovie?
we had a good solid gun regester systym here in NZ. and it got scrapped and new systems put in its place. the way I see it the big mistake we made when scrapping the old system was we loss that great positive contact with our police. we used to get a permit to buy ,go buy come back and regester gun. sure there were unregestered guns out there but now with the new system nobody knows whats around or who has what.that in itself is fine but that point of contact with police was a good thing we shouldnt have ditched. the antis are sure a pain in the butt we have to be seen to be squeaky clean so take care out there.
