NRA Paranoia Is Silly, Dangerous; No Need to Outlaw Guns, Just Loopholes

gun cotrol

It is very odd, that there are a lot of people out here screaming about gun control. I have news for you, the guns don't need to be controlled. The idiots of society, need to be controlled. How about passing some laws that make it illegal to be a moron. Even better, how about passing some laws that make it illegal to own a gun if you have no social skills, or are a sociopath. the best thing they could do is require a psych evaluation, before purchasing a weapon. I own several. Mine are for target shooting, hunting wildlife, and protecting what is mine. The thing most people don't think about is, if this country gets invaded by a foreign military force, it is people like myself, that will be able to help defend our great nation. Without my weapons, I'm just another victim. I'll be damned if I'll get rid of my guns. Personally, I think every American over eighteen, should be required to take a course in firearms use and safety, even if they don't own one.

We need to empirically look inside our nation and understand what societal factors enables a person to develop a moral philosophy that says to them it is just to steel, it is just to rob, it is just to inflect pain on others, and finaly it is just to take a way someone’s’ right to live. Until the moral consciousness of this nation rises to a higher plan of existence no law will ever protect us from violence.

You are ill informed if you think gun bans will stop crime

First of all the NRA has every right to be weary of the Obama administration when it comes to gun legislation from his past history and attitudes towards guns. However the past is the past so let’s focus on what gun bills are currently making their way through congress. Although there are currently many gun bills making their rounds in congress, the most alarming and dangerous bill is known as HR2159. All of you should read this bill for yourselves at Thomas library of congress or govtract.us and of course form your own opinions on these matters. In a nut shell this bill will deny gun rights to suspected terrorist or known terrorist. At first glance this bill obviously seems to be a no brainer nobody wants crazed terrorist legally armed and supplied with weapons in which they can use to carry out malicious attacks on our nation. However there exist a stark difference in opinions between what we the citizenry perceive to be potential terrorist and what the DHS and other government agencies consider to be potential terrorist. According to the MIAC report and DHS’s “Extremist” Lexicon a plethora of U.S. citizens fall into the suspected terrorist category. People ranging from Ron Paul supporters all the way to environmentalist and everyone in between, in the eyes of DHS; pose a potential threat to homeland security. Already one million Americans have found themselves on a terrorist watch list. That’s about one in every 300 Americans are on this watch list. If this piece of legislation becomes law millions of law abiding citizens will lose their constitutional right. However there always exist a larger picture this situation is no exception and the negative ramifications form these types of bills goes far beyond denying some “right-winger” his right to buy a hunting rifle. Take the Ron Paul example, a person by just simply taking part in the political process and supporting a governmental figure who reflects their political belief system, have effectively become a potential threat. If this bill becomes law the federal government will have the unprecedented ability to force people through fear of losing their constitution rights into accepting a singular political belief structure. This goes against the very grain of a nation who prides itself on political freedom and liberty. More worrisome is when all of this is combined with president Obama’s push for a “prolonged” a.k.a indefinite detention policy for U.S. terror suspect who cannot be tried under a regular court system. Which basically means people who have been arrested without enough hard evidence to prosecute them in a regular court of law will be forced to rot in prison until they admit their guilt. Furthermore it grieves me to see that the vast majority of my fellow Americans are ignorant and only follow simple ideologies and two-bit rhetoric slogans. The solution to solving the violence in America is far more complex than just limiting access to guns.

To be perfectly frank.

Our concern should be with somehow selling more than we buy, becoming an economic power again, and driving out all religious extremists. There is no god, there is no heaven or hell that we can prove with the tools we have now. As far as can be detected there is no such thing as a soul either. Progress by any means necessary. And who knows how many potential idiots have been killed in these so called tragedies. Be quick or be dead, and hopefully the obese and slow of thought will be purged from our gene pool, so that we may have the future that has been foreseen.

Paranoia is the correct term

Former NRA member, pistol match referee, state champion in small bore, member of an Army Rifle Team in Europe, and in general someone who enjoys shooting, so it may come as a surprise that I want to tell the NRA and its dumbest members (the majority, it seems) to remove their heads from their colons. They lie, exxagerate, and pontificate with no concern for the nation at large, just their own issues. Nobody wants to take your guns, you idiots. It's just that we who are reasonably sane want to make it harder to buy, find or steal weapons. That's right. It should be harder to buy a weapon, just as hard as it is to buy a car and get it licensed. Is that too much to ask to stop some of these slaughters? Don't give me any garbabe about whether the press knows what an assault weapon is. That's irrevant. A single shot .22 in my hands is an assault weapon since I can hit dimes at 50 meters. So, NRA, quit your hatred of America campaign, and stop pretending that you are the ones who are the real Americans. Garbage.

columbine "military style " assault rifle

The "assault" rifle used in the Columbine shootings was a 10 round caapacity Highpoint 9mm Carbine. It uses single stack 10 round magazines, and doesn't even fit into the assault rifle mold that the most bleeding heart liberal adheres to.Oh, wait...it has a pistol grip, now it is a 1000 yard murder machine. That particular firearm was made after the Brady bans went into effect. They were made to adhere to the new, warm fuzzy gun laws put forward by the Clintonoid democrats of the 90's. And for the record, assault weapon isn't classified as "any gun that Nancy Pellosi finds scary looking." Assault weapons are already controlled, civilians can't have them. Not without a lot of money, background check, tax stamp, class 3 firearms permit, ;laws permitting class 3 ownership in buyer's state, etc, etc. We have plenty of gun control in this country, the problem is that people don't respect the sanctity of human life anymore. This is not a "United States only" problem either. Civilian firearm ownership in the UK is curtailed almost to the point of non-existence. So, what do scumbags do when no one has guns? They start knifing people instead. Determined aggressors will injure, maim, and kill, regardless of the method they choose to do it. Scapegoating firearms for the woes of our decadent society is not only absurd, it is morally treasonous to humanity as well. When people care about life more, VIOLENCE in general will begin to decline.

HEY BARAK....

Please allow us to cling to our guns, religion and tradition - We like it better than your brave new world of "change".

Badly written 2nd Ammendment?

"A well regulated Militia,.."

George Mason: "Who are the militia? They consist of the whole people, except a few public officers."

"..being necessary to the security of a free State,.."

Patrick Henry: "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined...The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.

"..the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,.."

Samuel Adams: "The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms."

"..shall not be infringed."

Thomas Jefferson: "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

The Badly-Written Second Amendment

Let's face it, that "well-regulated militia" clause would had my middle-school English teacher reaching for her red pencil and an aspirin. No one will ever agree on what the 2nd Amendment really means or what the Framers had in mind when they wrote it. But they were reasonable men and my guess is, if they saw what was going on today (Columbine, Virginia Tech, Binghamton, etc. etc. etc.) they'd be in favor of much stricter laws. So why can't we just do what makes sense and enact sensible gun laws, starting with renewal of the assault rifle ban?

Gun problem in America? Theres not one. What we have is a Iproblem with are siisy Liberal laws

There is no gun problem in America. The problem is not the guns it's the people who are careing the Guns.What we need is to have strict hardcore penalty's for people who use guns in crimes. Take the guns away from the good people of this country and the bad guys will still have them! As a certain comic said. Saying guns kill people is like saying pencils misspell words. It's not the guns its the idots who have them. So yes there does need to be stricter gun laws! But to disarm the people is not only wrong but unamerican! That's one of the reasons that makes this country great. FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
