Not only is he an idiot but he is a blind idiot.

How did Israel handle it's armed terrorists?   They certainly didn't do it by disarming their citizens.

He also claims that no citizens group could ever hope to take on the U.S. military ... yet.. I bet he is one of the guys who thinks that the entire U.S. military can't take care of a couple of thousand terrorists in iraq.  

If there were ever a revolution the government could not count on the military and police backing them against the people.   That is what he leaves out.

Why some people are so afraid of guns and so willing to give up their human right to defend themselves.... well, I guess I will never understand.   I just know that with guys like him around it makes it even more apparent to me why we need a strong second amendment... he makes it all the more imperative that we are able to keep and bear arms as a people.

I sent an email but kept it clean.  Using vulgarity in this case would only SEEM to support the authors argument.

The author could post such replys and claim 2nd Amendment supporters are all ......

I notices this "author" (yes, I'm being sarcastic; the guy's a pinko socialist in my book) cherry picks the few stats he presents.  How many of the gun deaths he reports were commited by guns legally obtained by the shooter? How many were acts of legal self-defense?  How many potentially violent crimes were prevented or detered by law abiding citizens exercising their 2nd amendment rights?

I agree!

However!  

Without enough negative feed back there is a good chance his articles will be given credence!

It's called a trial ballon in some circles.  It is a test of the social attitude.

Kinda a see if you can get away with it sort of thing.

IMHO that is PART of the intent of the article.

Lets just hope the link commentary was both discriptive and lengthy enough to pass MP3s standards.


hmm. is there a word for being both sarcastic and serious at the same time?


In any event
and to get back on topic

"The idea of public gun ownership simply does not make sense anymore. The right to bear arms, as enumerated in the Second Amendment, was meant for the maintenance of a “well-regulated militia.” At the time the amendment was adopted, standing armies were viewed with a great deal of suspicion, and therefore, gun-owning individuals were seen as a protection mechanism for the public. These gun owners were also seen as guardians of the republic against the tyranny of the rulers. The framers of the Constitution saw the right to bear and use arms as a check against an unruly government. That state of affairs no longer exists."


I contend that the goverment is becomming more and more unruly and tyranical
And
People like him in government is EXACTLY why that ammendment exists

because that state of affairs can still exist

1.  most of the people that read anything on this site have probably already drank a gallon of koolaid
2.  do you really think that anything any of us send him to try and show him the error of his thinking or our opinion will make it on that site?

He'll delete your email and make another batch of koolaid.

He said, "Anyone who would give up a little freedom, for a little security, deserves neither."

Let's test the notion of disarming law abiding citizens...I choose Washington DC.   Hmmm....one of the highest murder rates in the US.   Seems some people don't abide by the law of no firearms.......and what do you have to lose?  You break in knowing the law abiding aren't armed.

I wish I could remember the name of the town in GA who mandated each homeowner have a gun....crime rates fell dramatically.

It is a ludicrous notion that disarming everyone will disarm the criminals.  If you are bringing in tons of drugs, there is an endless stream of firearms for the criminals.

Stupid.

"Rights" and "repealed" are mutually exclusive.

they can't repeal the right to defend yourself, but they can make it illegal to defend yourself.
