Study this carefully. [/IMG]


Perhaps you can absorb the lesson.

Tyrant's overthrown? You actually think an idiotic cartoon like that is relevant to the import of the American second amendment! Sad.
Perhaps you can absorb your reading acuity is skewed.
I in no way said baseball bats cause collateral damage or pose a potential to cause collateral damage.

You might want to go back and read carefully so as to later appear to know what you're talking about.

I think America's "second amendment" is a relic of bygone days and needs to be repealed. Far too many jerkoffs walking around with guns. And, btw, yes. Not a single tyrant overthrown but plenty of innocents slaughtered by gun-wielding assholes. That cartoon is spot on. Case in point.

Quote:PRESTON, Conn. (AP) - A woman who picked up her two young grandsons from daycare and was supposed to bring them home so the 2-year-old could open his birthday presents instead drove them to a neighboring town and shot and killed the children and herself, state police and family members said.

Quote:Family members said Denison had bipolar disorder and a history of mental health problems.

She also had a gun.

In the USA, I have a friend with over 30 weapons, loves gun shows, believes any day that Obama is going to invade his home and rape his woman, and for Y2K he had a basement full of rice, beans, water, and beer. Well, the beer is finally gone.

He is one of those that I worry about. He acts like the 2nd amendment was a promise by the lord, while ignoring it's text. (Women should not have guns based on the text, because women were not permitted to be part of a militia). He also believes that the government needds to be threatened because it is a growing evil, while forgetting that the purpose of a militia is to volunteer to defend the government and the country, not to attack it.

Finally, he had to balls to send me an email after the school shooting about how everyone in Israel is armed and it's safe. Our gun laws are way too restrictive (a maximum of one pistol, and only if your job or location requires it, and you need to pass various tests. No rifles unless you do target shooting and then a maximum of one, and it needs to be inspected every year. Ammo is also controlled).

And no gun shows. Hunting is extremely restrictive (a few bird species and wild boar only with a rifle).

He agreed that he would hate to live here. No hunting? No gun shows? One pistol max? No way!

What would he do with his retooled "semi" automatics?

This is what comes after a public school education in America when "History" is an elective.

Idiots with a gun in no way are representative of the majority of responsible gun owners. They just get the press so that anti-gun nuts will be terrified by the mere mention much less the sight of a three letter word.

This thread is filled with examples of those alleged "responsible gun owners" being anything but responsible. Perhaps you had best go back and re-read.

Meanwhile,

The body count has reached 2,407 which blows right by Pearl Harbor but still the gun nuts continue to insist that the problem is not guns.

BTW, "history" was my major and this gun-nut fantasy is largely derived from Hollywood and dime-store novels, not reality. You do know, for instance, that the Gunfight at the OK Corral happened because the Earps were trying to enforce Tombstone's gun ordinance, right?

And we cross the 2,500 mark...and this does not even consider suicides...just murders.

I thought Mini would like this headline..

"Lindsey Graham unveils bill to limit gun sales to mental illness patients"

http://www.wistv.com/story/21539775/lind...s-patients

Must not be a lot of English teachers here in South Carolina.

What the?

2,605 bodies in the pile...as of 2 days ago.

Thanks, gun nuts.

Closing in on 2,800 dead bodies in the pile

but it doesn't seem to be anywhere enough for congress to grow some balls.

Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) - An assault weapons ban won't be in the gun-control legislation that Democrats bring to the Senate floor next month, a decision that means the ban's chances of survival now are all but hopeless.

Freedom for gun nuts to kill is assured.
