Silly WWII Analogy...but Fun!

On freerepublic, people were discussing the recent legal victory, where a federal judge ruled that people who already had guns had no reason to wait through a 10 day California waiting period.  The law was first passed in 1923.  He ruled that the law infringed on second amendment rights.  The KG9 Kid wrote, from freerepublic.com:

I'm sorry, but I read of these little 'victories' by the CalGuns Foundation in their thoroughly anti-gun state and cannot help but compare them to some WWII Japanese radio broadcast that exclaims that the Imperial Japanese Navy now has now deployed the first rocket-powered flying suicide bomb with which they shall lay waste to the American fleet off of Okinawa.

I thought about it a bit, and it seemed his analogy was all wrong.
The analogy might hold “water” if the kamakazi rocket planes had holed half of the carriers in the U.S fleet, and they were taking on water while the crews fought the fires.

If Peruta stands, and odds are that it will, second amendment supporters win.

How do you stop concealed carry reciprocity across the nation when you have as your redoubt six little east coast states, and the entire rest of the country has shall issue or constitutional carry?

I submit that the truth would be closer if the roles in the analogy were reversed. It is the Californian politicos that are fighting a desperate rearguard action. Heller was their Midway, and McDonald, MacArthur’s return to the Philippines. Concealed carry has been the Island hopping. Illinois was Okinawa. Peruta is a potential Hiroshima.

Second amendment supporters just successfully “firebombed” Tokyo (DC) with the Palmer decision.

I would not want to trade sides with the opposition.  Second amendment supporters have the facts, logic, the culture, and the Constitution on their side.  It is like the overwhelming advantage that the tremendous American production gave U.S. troops in the Pacific theater.    In addition, second amendment fighters, those that pay attention and care, out number disarmists by somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 to one.   Bloomberg is Benito Mussolini, Schumer is Emperor Hirohito,  I will let you assign your own roll for the current president.

It is a silly World War II analogy.   The timing does not fit.   Second Amendment supporters have been fighting the war for 50 years, 80, if you include the 1934 NFA.   But it is fun to think of it that way.   We are winning.

Maybe Feinstein could be Tokyo Rose? There should be a role for her, somewhere...

I was specifically talking about California and the CGF, Dean Weingartner, whoever you are.

[RC one]

The videos of enraged young black men running wild through the streets of Ferguson, burning, looting, and pillaging will provide us with endless propaganda to support the second amendment cause and we should exploit it for all it’s worth.

The vast majority of WWII analogies for issues in our current day and age are silly.

This wasn’t meant to disparage you. I was just having fun with it.

And, yes, California is in big trouble.

Here are a few:

• Michelle Obama--Tōjō Hideki, Jaapan's fanatical premier

• John McCain--Wang Ching-wei, president of the pro-Japanese Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China

• Josh Earnest--Orphan Ann (Iva D'Aquino), Radio Tokyo propaganda broadcaster

Second amendment supporters have the facts, logic, the culture, and the Constitution on their side.

Which are difficult to make known to the public when your local Gannett newsrag does not acknowledge receipt of, let alone print a letter to the editor that offends their sensibilities. Posted here, comments and constructive criticism welcomed, as well as silliness!

Responding to the letter published 11/20 titled "Make New Jersey Bill of Rights state", may we please start by eliminating the barriers to the free exercise of those rights? Specifically, I cite the assault by the state upon the second amendment through unconstitutional laws and regulations.

If a law or regulation was passed requiring us to "show a need" to speak freely, to worship as we please or to publish or broadcast our opinions we would be besieging the State House in Trenton for the redress of that grievance. Yet to exercise the God given right recognized in the second amendment we are required to "prove a need". What is it about "shall not be infringed" the state fails to understand?

The law-abiding New Jersey citizen currently has to choose between remaining unarmed and defenseless while outside the home or no longer being a law abiding citizen. Obedience to the state's edicts does nothing to disarm criminals; it only affects the law abiding.

If you are a Hoplophobe (a person with an irrational aversion to weapons) you have the right to not carry or even own a weapon. But your fear should not trump my rights. I am no threat to you unless you attack me.
