A Short History of Gun Control

Thank you but... I lived in that era.  I brought my rifle to school and the NRA taught us gun safety in class and we had a school shooting team and got marksmanship merit badges and such.

No one shot anyone in school.   the democrats were a different party.  sure.. they supported the corrupt unions and they raised taxes but not that bad.. you could vote your concience.

LBJ got in and the world got turned on its side for democrats... the party became the nanny party.. the party of guilt and socialism and class warfare.. they were reaching..  they wanted to get rid of the stigma of years of fighting republican led civil rights...

They wanted the womans vote.   they courted it and they helped the worst of the women in the US get power... women like finestein and boxer and some of the colored ones.

They latched on to guns as something to call their own.. some evil to fight that was not a republican idea.

They let the women lead the parade... women are socialists.   they fit right into the democratic party leadership.

It is run by women and womenly ideas.  in effect.. the entire government (when controlled by democrats) is worried about us running with scissors.....

couple that with the normal democrat penchant for class warfare and the karl marx playbook that they use and their idea that we can tax our way into equality and/or prosperity... and...

you have a match made in hell.  In a nutshell...a party of socialists and nannies.

libertarians and individualists are endangered by democrats far more than by republicans...  libertarians should be courting the democratic vote and fighting democrat leaders.

LBJ, FDR and lincoln were all the worst presidents free men have ever had to bear.  the enemies of freedom.  

If you vote for democrats.. no matter what their personal thoughts or claims... you are voting for gun control.

I write em... I give money to the NRA and other groups..  I write here...  I do not do nothing.   Probly close to 100 people who had never shot a gun (let alone a handgun) have shot them now because I took em out and let em shoot mine.

Even gun owners are not always the friends they could be... some of them have odd ideas about semi autos or handguns..  I have changed a few of their minds too.. shown them how fun and uselful handguns really are.

The one common thing is... those who oppose gun ownership... never know a thing about guns.   at best.. they may have shot a few in the service.

jackal... not only would my ideas have as much chance of attracting voters as those of the impotent libertarian party (I would sound good on the internet) but...

The press would slaughter me.   everything I have ever done in the past would be paraded out and I would never be able to get a word in about anything important..

Plus.. I would not lie or cover up my past and I would state my views plainly without sugar coating them.. I might even say "I don't know" a few times... all of those things would keep me out of any elected office.

Most of the things I want tho... I would have to say... "this is what I think should happen but it is not my call"

Nailing Giuliani and co.'s BS on live TV would be worth it.
