I don't know if this has been posted before, but if it has I'm not apologizing.  Watch it again.

Why Do They Want Our Guns?

Absolutely amazing.  There's no possible way I could put it better.

Oh come on, it's not the anti gun peoples fault that deep down in a dark place they are keeping a secret locked away in a special little closet. The stress of that dark secret, surely as good old Sigmund said left them barely mature enough to deal with life.


You can't blame them for fearing those evil guns.

everyone should watch that vid...

The democrats of today are the womanly nannies who want to control us.. they are not the men of the past who felt it was a right of every citizen to be armed... that guns were every bit as important as private property ownership and free speech and the right to a fair trial by your peers...

Come to think of it.. the current democrats hate all of those things...  not just guns.

Just hate the idea of anyone toting a loaded gun, including idiots, criminals, and infants.
Still looking forward to shooting one of my friend's 7mm sniper rifle (Lager can at 500 yds, easy-go)
Wouldn't want my 3 year old or his 10 year old pinging me with it, but thanks god, he has it properly locked up.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Yeah filth, I had to do a lot of pausing.  Would have been nice if they'd cut it a little slower.  

Angus, keeping a weapon properly secured is only one facet of responsible gun ownership.  I should hope children are both well educated and appropriately insulated from parents fire arms.

angus... why should you be trusted with a high powered "sniper"  rifle and not your fellow citizens?

It would seem that you could be described as a radical extremist environmentalist and also as indivdualist who lives on a rural compound and avoids society.  A "survivalist" who believes in being self sufficient...  a very dangerous man, probly not quite right in the head.

Yep......the world needs to keep a close eye on folks like Angus and his "type".
A sniper rifle?????? Geez......everyone knows those things only have one use, that being to kill. Who could actualy believe that someone would derive pleasure from punching holes in paper, cans, etc? It`s all a big cover up I tell ya.


When they start taking the things that you like........it might just be too late.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

I think it went over his head...  most people who live in socialist countries are so indoctrinated to think that their fellow man is incompetent and a danger to them and that they have the right to regulate and control him that there is absolutely no point in explaining freedom to them.

Little by little our rights get shaved away.  If the enemy tried to take our rights away any faster, the chances for a popular revolt would increase.  As it is, the TV, work, work, and life in general keeps most people too busy to even notice that some new little infringement of their rights is happening and by the time they find out that some new law or rule has been passed or adopted, it is too late to really resist.  Neither political party is to be trusted, obviously the Democrats have aligned themselves with gun control but many Republicans have helped them by voting for or not opposing loudly enough these infringements.  Im not sure exact quote or who said it but it goes along these lines:  An unarmed people is but a step away from slavery.  Keep ye powder dry and aim true.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

Because I passed the tests. Because I could supply clean guarantors. Because I have a clean criminal record. And because I went flawlessly through an interview with the chief of the local Police. And because I have logical use for my "high power" .22 magnum, and single 12gauge Shotgun for keeping seagulls (salmonella source etc) at bay.
Still am not able to buy a handgun. Got no use for it anyway :D

That video was a horrid mess. Poorly written and presented and totally ignores the issues of short attention spans by not keeping it interesting or funny. If you’re fighting gun control you should rather be spreading these videos:

It would be really nice if all we had around here to keep at bay was gulls.  All you really need for that is 12ga alkaselzter tablets.  

The problems around here shoot back.

On a related note (when we are talking about gun control in relation to fighting tyrrany) this video is also a "must see":
