Two years ago, Coach is Right published the following piece, warning readers about the chronic dishonesty of liberals who claim to respect the right of the American people to keep and bear arms. Nothing has changed except the vigor with which Barack Hussein now attacks the 2nd Amendment, using Executive Orders because Democrats refuse to face angry voters by writing and passing unconstitutional legislation.
There is nothing so dependably disingenuous as a liberal who proclaims a willingness to have an honest debate or engage in a legitimate compromise. It seems decades spent in the practice of calculated deceit have made truth a foreign concept to these unprincipled vermin.
And no subject has been the cause of more outright dishonesty from the left than the right to keep and bear arms.
For decades, liberals have begun each new call for “common sense†gun legislation by reassuring gun owning, 2nd Amendment supporting Americans that nobody wants to take their guns. “No one is seriously proposing to ban or confiscate all guns,†claims Martin Dyckman, Associate Editor of the St. Petersburg Times. “You hear that only from the gun lobby itself, which whistles up this bogeyman whenever some reasonable regulation is proposed.†Rather than suggest Mr. Dyckman may not be telling the absolute truth, let’s hear from the “bogeyman†himself:
“Our ultimate goal–total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.†“The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition-except for the military, police, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors-totally illegal.†Richard Harris in The New Yorker, quoting Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“It will happen one very small step at a time, so that by the time people have “woken upâ€...

Nobody better watch himself then.
“Nobody wants to take your gunsâ€
The BIG LIE since 1962. Just finding how to do it legally is the problem.
Nobody is dead and buried in my backyard.
What the founder of HANDGUN CONTROL INC (Now the Brady Center) said forty years ago! READ AND HEED!
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — TOTAL CONTROL OF HANDGUNS in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.
Just so nobody doesn’t pretend to be somebody. I wouldn’t harm nobody but I definitely would somebody that tried to take my property.

"It's only a shower"
Dang right! Because if Nobody doesn’t cut the sh!t then Everybodys gonna get p!ssed and then Someones gonna have more trouble than Anyone dreamed of!
Does Someone know? Better not tell Anybody.
The Hell they don’t!
Many sure do want to take our guns.
If nobody wants to take them why do the dems keep talking about confiscation?
How do you say, “Nobody can come and get ‘em!” in Greek?
There are a whole lot of evil thugs and deluded liberals who think they want to take our guns. Once they come for our guns, they will discover that they were mistaken. They really, really don’t want to take our guns.
Come for the guns,some of mine and myself won’t be home.Don’t worry,we will turn up eventually.Somewhere.
truth. You just know it when you hear it.
I don’t know, Greek is all Greek to me :D
