Fine. Let's cast gun control as a "fire in a crowded theater" argument. That argument was used to establish the doctrine of "clear and present danger," in which free speech could be restricted if it could be clearly proven that said speech presented an immediate danger to life, limb, or property. Applied to firearms, that means that Second Amendment rights can be restricted if they present a "clear and present danger" to life, limb, or property. The mere existence of a firearm is not a threat, and it can as easily be proven that they DEFEND life, limb, and property; their ABSENCE constitutes a threat.

So the libs have defeated their own argument. Which is not hard when you have no logical basis to begin with ...

Good post, clear enough even for Schmucky Chucky, Clinton the Liar, and The Smartest Woman Lawyer in America ("what does it MATTER?") to understand you.

You'd have to cock a thousand guns simultaneously for them to get it any clearer.

The purpose of all this hype on guns is to keep the right and conservatives focused on what the Demo-Coms describe as issues through their propaganda arm known as the MSM (mainline socialist media) not on the problems created by the “Libs” on their road of good intentions or the socialist/fascists/communists successors to comtrol over todays Democrat party;

Which is the cost ,waste, and corruption of this administration which had led to a 16 trillion dollar deficit.

Not one word addresses or offers a solution about the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings using illegaly obtained mostly handguns and revolvers .

Perpetuating the general populations ignorance and using code words like “assault rifles” they’re demonizing single shot per trigger pull semi automatic rifles, used for small game hunting or target practice. That are legal in every state but made to look like their military counterpart..

Military AR’s since Viet Nam and a DOD decision ARs are really medium caliber (22.3) machine guns designed to wound not necessarilly kill which is why they are automatic and fire as many rounds that are in its magazine once the trigger is kept in the pulled position.

They replace quick kill 30 caliber semi automatic (single shot) M-1, Springfield rifles and carbines used during WWII and Korea and approved in most states for use in big game hunting.

Obama certainly can’t critique a system created by his ilk .Ignored in his 23 edicts is that when once caught, perps get set free with lenient sentencing from “liberal” judges or sob sister plea bargain prosecution (which Obama supports for when a Illinois state senator while introducing legislation to sentence any 15 year old as an adult,(opps they could be fatherless) Obama voted “absent” with others on that roll call vote. But that leniency is promoted by the MSM,The New York Times CNN, NBC and,ABC. There’s certainly no criticism of “no snitch” mentality partcularly in areas where these shootings are rampant.

It would be nice at these rallys if conservatives would point these facts out to Obamas adoring public. The following copy if printed on an index sized card makes an excellent palm card easy to print up and distribute.

Democrats and RINOS
GOD DENIERS AND CONGENITAL LIARS
ARE REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH INCITERS/
FOR FIRST YOUR MONEY THEN YOUR GUNS
AND BE DEFENSELESS WHEN CROOKS COME

how much responsibility is placed on the people in the theater that take the word of one person “yelling” fire.

if i smell no smoke, feel no heat, see no flames, am i to take the word alone and run for the crowded exits?

personal responsibility is a frightening thing, as our elected leaders try to dodge theirs, by infringing on ours.

tar and feathering is too good for them.
