The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

Ever since Newt Gingrich the conservatives in the U.S. have become loud-mouthed, lying obstructionists willing to forsake their own integrity (not to mention imperil our Nation’s economy and health with cutbacks and shutdowns) if they perceive it will advance their agenda or feed a rich man’s greed. TV, radio and social media have become echo chambers that amplify the effectiveness of this kind of mindless scapegoating. Ted Nugent is a tool. Always has been. More disgusting than Nugent-brain-farts is the filth and crap his followers leave in the comment section.

On the bright side, the Broncos won the Super Bowl.

Expect you feel better with that off your chest

How bout a hail Satan ??

"Amen" is not an affirmation of the existence of any sort of Deity or Demon; it simply means, "So be it." I'm asking for the reader's assent as to the content of the post. "Hail" means to "greet" or "salute." I can't very well greet a non-existent entity, so instead I'll say, "Hi Erika, welcome back from banishment."

You have my assent

and amen to you brother Martin.

May the Lord be with you, Sister Trish

Or not. Don't need no protection than an AK-47.

Well said Trish I am back after a year wondering in the void.

Maybe a case can be made for a well-armed militia

Careful, they look like they have hair-triggers.

Six people killed last night by a white, middle-aged, good-guy with semi-automatic handgun. I'm guessing he was angry with Obama, the Government, the World and Everything. One of the deceased is an eight year old boy...excuse me, was an eight year old boy...he ain't no more. But what's the harm in letting more angry good-guys carry semi-automatics?

From the Times article:
“He periodically shot his gun out the back door,” Ms. Pardo said. “He would shoot randomly into the air.”

...how does he not have a criminal record? Doesn't anyone report that shit?

Three people were killed just hours ago near Hesston, Kansas by another AK-47 wielding gun-nut exercising his 2nd Amendment rights (sorry for the politically incorrect language dreamon - otherwise I'm just reporting the news). Seven people were critically injured and twenty-three were injured non-critically. Police killed the perpetrator.

Fourteen year old good guy with a gun shot two Ohio high school students today. Two others were injured during the incident. No one was killed.

So much for free speech

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...law-texas-guns

The overwhelming majority of the 4,400 colleges and universities in the United States prohibit the carrying of firearms on their campuses. These gun-free policies have helped to make our post-secondary education institutions some of the safest places in the country. For example, a 2001 U.S. Department of Education study found that the overall homicide rate at post-secondary education institutions was 0.07 per 100,000 students in 1999. By comparison, the criminal homicide rate in the United States as a whole was 5.7 per 100,000 persons overall in 1999, and 14.1 per 100,000 for persons ages 17 to 29. A Department of Justice study found that 93% of violent crimes that victimize college students occur off campus.
Despite the success of these gun-free policies, an increasingly extreme pro-gun movement in the USA is promoting legislation and litigation to force colleges and universities to allow concealed guns on campus. As a result, schools in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, Texas and Wisconsin have now been forced in different ways to allow the carrying of firearms on their premises (i.e. campus grounds, classrooms, dormitories, or parking lots).

From http://www.armedcampuses.org

Look at it this way. Firearms protect the carrier from having to listen to the speech of others and allow the carrier to feel more secure that his own speech will carry the day. Veiled threat and intimidation can be far more persuasive than reason and logic. Are teachers telling your children that the Earth is nearly four-billion years old? Take a gun to the next parent teacher conference and tell those anti-Christian elites to teach the truth or else...

Good guys with guns are b-b-b-bad, b-b-bad to the bone.

Can the teachers be armed as well? Bet you can enforce discipline in the classroom if you take a couple of students out at the beginning of the class. It's the way forward.

Because of all the other crazy shit happening this one never made headline news:

Apparently Pastor Remington who prayed with Ted Cruz at an Idaho rally was shot the next day by a nut who left behind a thirty-two page manifesto.

Here's a sample from the link above

Quote:

---

Odom graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in biochemistry. The manifesto contended that his life started to deteriorate during his final semester and was now ruined.
"Ruined by an intelligent species of amphibian-humanoid from Mars," the manifesto said.
Odom contended that the Martians were here before humans, lived underground and operated a breeding program for humans, the manifesto said.
"Don't believe me? Ask President Obama to take a lie detector test of this one," the manifesto said.
Odom contended the Martians were unable to control his mind but had been following him. He said he had attempted suicide twice, but they stopped him.
"As you can see, I'm pretty smart," the manifesto said. "I'm also 100% sane, 0% crazy."

How does a someone like this get a gun? Ans: People (ironically like Ted Cruz) who twist and warp the meaning and intentions of Second Amendment in order to bolster and compensate their own baseless feelings of insecurity (or in Ted's case to manipulate those insecurities and turn them into votes).

Four years later and I'm still waiting for this gun ban...

I'm waiting for people to realize that those who push this hysteria are the same ones who are trying to remove everybody's social security.

Unfortunately, reform is only half a yr away. Class 3 owners will be troubled the most. Oh well, times change right?

So that's the peace-loving people with machine guns, suppressors, sawed-off shotguns, mortars, howitzers or grenade launchers.

Yeah, it's bad enough they have to suffer the moniker 'class 3 owner'; it's like they don't even rate second class.

You forgot short barrel rifles and anti-tank canons. Come on now.

But yes, those are the population I spoke of. Probably the most scrutinized bunch of the gun world and the least likely to commit a weapons based offense.

not a terrible change in the law, just more inconvenient.

All the more reason for another Children's Crusade. Think what a toddler could do with a class three weapon!

Good children with guns vs. bad children with guns

Just a comment

A compelling article from Gen. Stanley McChrystal-

In 2014, 33,599 Americans died from a gunshot wound. From 2001 to 2010, 119,246 Americans were murdered with guns, 18 times all American combat deaths in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That is a national crisis. And as a combat veteran and proud American, I believe we need a national response to the gun violence that threatens so many of our communities.
