The Gun Control Thread

“A revolt from people who were stolen from their land or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, that’s what the genesis of the second amendment is,” Danny Glover, claiming the Second Amendment was to protect Whites from slave revolts and indian uprisings.

If Danny Glover was any more stupid, he's have to be watered twice a week.

While on overseas shore duty, I was assigned to the Office of the Provost Marshall...the base police force, ran by a Marine Colonel (think Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men) and composed of sailors and Marines. I was qualified on the .45, M-14, M-16, and combat pistol-grip shotgun with no stock. I carried a .45 on my hip, and had either the shotgun or M-16 in my patrol truck, everyday of my working life back then.

Unlike you, who fired a weapon a few times before beginning your regular duties...swabbing shitters.

Actually I carried a concealed 9mm M9 at times. It's interesting the Marines (who have specially trained MP's like the Army and Air Force) used relatively untrained squids for security...

BTW, I "qualified" in Basic by hitting two 300m targets (after missing the two 25m ones) on my fucked up M-16A1 that was worn to shit and virtually unsightable. I have a feeling you probably can't say the same. After that, I was an expert on almost everything most of the time...

Why, when more people are killed or shot from a good old-fashioned six shooter? You want to control those also?

Right, largely because of the restrictions laid out in 1934! Time to update them...

You've just reminded me of a big debate I got into with a guy from Virginia I met in Buenos Aires back in 2005.

This went into the early hours of the morning. He was a liberal on everything apart from gun control. He had been at a gun show the week before in VA where he had said he had been firing a vehicle mounted .50 calibre and nearly bought it...

Nice guy but you're all nuts...

I'm completely nuts.

But there's no reason a working .50 cal. should be on a private owner's Jeep. I think that only those that have been vetted should own a .50 cal ANYTHING including bolt-action rifles since such supersized weapons are descendants of what were the first antitank weapons and can be used as terrorist weapons against refineries and other "soft skinned" targets...

[Nickdfresh]

Elvis, he wouldn't understand.

People in his country are under their government's thumb, both with guns and surveillance cameras on every corner. Then they have the audacity to talk about the US not being free.

You mean like our surveillance cameras in every store and most public places and warrantless wiretapping surveillance under the (un)Patriot Act?...

An Open Letter To The NRA Board

By Ann Werner | January 19, 2013



Every major poll has shown that a majority of the American people support imposing restrictions on the sale of guns and ammunition, and the vast majority, including 89% of Republicans, support universal background checks. Yet you, the members of the NRA Board of Directors, continue to lobby against any and all measures to rein in the proliferation of guns in this country. What is it with you people?

Back in December, just after Sandy Hook, your spokesman, Wayne LaPierre, took to the airwaves in an attempt to cloud the issue of the murder of 20 first graders and the 6 women who died valiantly trying to protect them. In his diatribe, he stated the problem wasn’t with guns; it was with video games and the lack of mental health resources and the need for armed guards in our schools. Never mind that I, as a mother, would never have wanted my child to attend a school where I knew weapons were in the classroom. I wanted teachers who taught, not Rambo wannabees. But when the president recently issued executive orders that included some of the concerns cited by Mr. LaPierre, you guys came out swinging and accused the president of shredding the Second Amendment, endangering our children and imposing tyrannical measures on the country. According to you, we should all be armed to the teeth, locked and loaded and ready to rumble. Your insane rhetoric has served to incite even more vile rhetoric coming from the far right fringe, and has fed into the already paranoid delusions of people who have been manipulated into believing that the big, bad government is out to steal not only your guns but your freedoms. If you will recall, we had an assault weapons ban for ten years, from September 1994 until September 2004. As memory serves, our freedoms remained intact.

I realize you are the National Rifle Association, but I’ve got to ask you, where does this end? I mean, if it’s okay for anyone and everyone to go out and buy any kind of weapon they want, with no restrictions, no background checks, no nothing, then why not rocket launchers? Why not nukes? Hell, for that matter, why not fully armed nuclear submarines? I mean, if you’ve got the money and a place to put it, why not? You could form co-ops for those who are less financially well off and that way, we can pool our resources and we’d all have our shot at retaining those freedoms you keep telling us are at risk. Weapons like those would surely work much better against the government forces you say are waiting in the wings to kick in our doors and drag us off to some gulag. So how about changing your name to the National Weapons Of Mass Destruction Association? Think of the money you could make from arms manufacturers then!

You and the tactics you employ, like the odious ad featuring the Obama children, are beyond reprehensible. You are everything that is wrong with this country. You spread fear, lies and paranoia. You enable the slaughter of innocents and then turn and point your filthy fingers at everyone else. You even try to pass off the latest atrocity at Sandy Hook as a hoax. You speak of freedom, but every day the American people are robbed of freedom when a mother fears her child will not come home from school, when someone makes the decision not to attend a concert or a movie because they fear a maniac with a gun provided through your efforts may invade the venue.

I may only be one voice but I am one among many and I will not stop until all of you have been neutered and the American people get the justice and the laws they deserve. We are a better people than the ugly picture you paint.
