Proof again that Liberalism, as a mental disease, is not limited to the United States.

Where's the BARF alert?

It seems the NRA is willing to risk all of our safety--military and civilian alike--with its distorted version of individual rights

It seems the liberals are willing to risk all liberty for their distorted view of supreme government control.

[Spok]

This entire argument is premised on the notion that the government and the UN can protect people from violence, notwithstanding the fact that history proves otherwise. Conclusively. And the NRA has power solely because of the size of its membership, and that's called democracy.

This is the reason I preduct that gun cleaning accidents will continue to rise in the Moon Beam town of La La land.

"The problem for society and, apparently, for the rest of the world is their "slippery slope" insistence that any regulation will lead to complete disarmament."

History: Germany, concerned with riots in the streets between Nazi's and Communist's, required registration of all handguns in an attempt to quell the violence. When the Nazi took power, they used those registration lists to disarm the population, so they could herd them into concentration camps. "Slippery slope"....

Catch this: using shallow "feel good" messages about liberty and freedom to push its ideological agenda.

Only a true totalitarian Stalinist could call liberty and freedom "shallow fell good" ideas. The more they talk, the more I am convinced that guns ought to be REQUIRED in the possession of every free, competent adult.

Actually the Argument that the NRA MUST start using here and at home is

"Disarming the Civilian Populace leaves them vulnerable to tin horn dictators in countries like North Korea, China, Iran, Iraq, etc.. etc.. etc..

Ms. Kelly:

You neatly avoid mentioning that, over the past 20 years, in states where concealed carry of firearms licensing has been adopted, violent crime has dropped. Conversely, where people are prohibited from carry guns for self defense, violent crime has increased, esp. in DC, which has the most draconian anti-gun laws in the country. And let’s not forget Boston, just down the road from me, which is locked into a spiral of increasing gun violence the more the city limits the law-abiding in gun ownership.

Lawful gun ownership is not only going to increase, but increasingly will drive the Democrats into a permanent political minority. That the Left cannot accept that gun laws disarm only the honest continues to baffle me.

Sincerely,

I guess the "problem" with us NRA types is that we believe our rights are granted by God and not some feel good bureaucracy.
