Finally an honest gun grabber. Its about time they told us what they really want to do with our guns.

[Cboldt]

I'm for gun elimination. ... I'm for taking away guns from anyone who can't prove a real need.

The author can't seem to make up his mind. Typical. Wants to permit some "elite" part of society to be armed. That is not the "elimination" of guns.

Is there some way to find out if the author of this piece is an officer of or donates money to the Democratic Party?

So the second amendment is a "dubious source" I quess that goes for the rest of the constitution also.

Actually, I'm not for gun control. I'm for gun elimination

Except for the Baltimore Sun's armed guards, of course....

I'm for taking away guns from anyone who can't prove a real need.

I think these a$$wipes seriously need to be jumped all over when they say things like this...because think about it, would they actually accept that protection of life, for example, constitutes a 'real need'? Probably not.

So what would that tell you about people who demand that people demonstrate a need, to them, that they find satisfactory?

And who gave them the right to demand that people show a need to their satisfaction anyway?

Now, in Iraq, America's appointed governors are supposed to come up with a good American-style constitution. Let's make sure they have a Second Amendment giving every Iraqi the right to bear arms. That's just what Iraq needs.

Not only is this guy a total leftist...he's a total idiot, too. Guess he made that list. I'll bet he's proud.

I'm for taking away guns from anyone who can't prove a real need

Members of the Party will always have a real need, I suppose...

G. Jefferson Price III, Perspective Editor:

"Actually, I'm not for gun control. I'm for gun elimination. Guns don't kill people, the NRA tells us, people kill people. Take away their guns and killing would be a lot harder.".............

"But while this country has dithered on the issue - unlike most other civilized places - and politicians have been intimidated by the NRA, tens of thousands of innocent people have been killed, and for what? For the sake of preserving "the right to bear arms"? That's not good enough."

=================================

Guys, It appears that the blithering idiocy of the BS's Editorial staff shall continue. Even after ALL of the BS's stories about millions of countless LAW-ABIDING unarmed people being killed by "militias" {POLITICIANS} in Bosnia, Rwanda, Cuba, Iraq, and other governments "gone bad", this blithering idiot gives US the same old unadulterated BullShit {"BS"!} The BS {Baltimore Sun}; Owned and operated by the same folks who give US the Los Angeles Times. Peace and love, George.

I am not a constitutional expert. But the Second Amendment seems to me to be about as relevant to modern reality as the Book of Leviticus.

I wanted to put a smart@ss comment at the end of this, but I think this statement stands alone. The fool really believes this.

Now, can I get on that list? Please?

You just made the list, Francis.

[sauropod]

Normally, I do not advocate buying a copy of the Baltimore Eclipse or visiting its website as it is not even fit for birdcage liner.

However, snobbish elitists like this "G. Jefferson Price III" that wouldn't set foot outside a gated community in "the city that bleeds" really need to hear from people in the real world.

More guns, less crime, people. Its really that simple.

[Quiller]

It is interesting to note that among the people mentioned by the article as being on "the list" are a number of actors who have "starred" in action films using weapons to deal out gratuitous violence to their enemies. A way to communticate their opposition, or just more mercenarial hypocrisy? Of course, maybe Alec Baldwin was showing his opposition to firearms violence when he advocated stoning a man and his family to death because Baldwin disagreed with him.

It is unlikely that the extremists on either side will be swayed (Susan White's "Through the Looking Glass" artile linked in post 12 is a rare look at such a person) unless, as with White, they are subjected to some sort of person initiation into the helplessness and lack of self-determination that being victimized instills. And with many of today's liberal theologies, victimization often brings with it guilt for having somehow invited a criminal's intrusion. In truth, anti-gunners rely on some degree of insulation or distancing from any crime. Such examples are Rosie O'Donnell's insistance that while she is against firearms ownership, her hired guards should be armed, or Diane Feinstein's opposition to firearms while she herself has security guards AND a permit to carry the revolver in her purse. Intrusion by a criminal generally comes when that insulation or distancing breaks down and the firearms opponent enters the part of the world where the majority of us have to live.

I'm sorry, but there are way too many hypocrites who oppose firearms ownership for ME, but want it for THEMSELVES. I'll just hang on to what I've got.

OBTW--there is no "NEED" mentioned in the 2nd Amendment, nor is there any "IF". There is only a "SHALL NOT". What part of that is confusing?

[Gritty]

"I am not a constitutional expert...."

This is the only statement he makes that is correct. He's right. He isn't. He's an utter fool.

I never forgot the encounter with this (Christian Lebanese) militiaman who must have felt some perverse right to carry a gun and to kill people with it.

Maybe he forgot they were in a Civil War started by Muslims, who mercilessly and cruelly tortured and slaughtered thousands of Christians in their peaceful towns and turned Lebanon from a beautiful, peaceful multi-cultural society into a charnel house.

G. Jefferson Price III is a pathetic, anti-Constitutional loser who would rather emote on his precious emotions, instead of taking the effort to study our Constitution, which he ignores completely and attempts to write about in his fevered rantings.

Every man carries the equipment to be a rapist. The man does the raping, not the equipment. shall we get rid of men or their equipment, or both. Wake Up America!

A vast cross-section of talented, thoughtful Americans, many beautiful people and just plain all-American companies and organizations are on the NRA bad list.

"Beautiful people????" Is it just me or does this statement sound like it was written by Barbra Streisand?

[Richard Axtell]

I am constantly disappointed by the shallow and pedestrial level of debate the left offers, on just about any subject. Vitriol, vituperation, lies, fraud, sure... but cogent arguments and real debate? Naw. Al Franken might as well have been the author of this piece. Then again, the left's real talents are all devoted to attempts at deception of the great "middle", and here we see the veil lifted, the mask thrown off. Price believes that, buy admitting his and the left's true agenda, he can convice the great middle of the sanity and virtue of his position.

He fails to understand that his is an old and hoary fantasy, so old as to be almost forgotten. "What is there were no guns in the world...?" Didn't we all muse about this and other faery tale like possibilities in our naive, butterfly-like youth? Wasn't that the whole point of the Flower-child era, the creation of a non-reality to live in, in preference to the real one? Trouble is, we have all grown up, and now face the ugly and dire truths of life, and realize the dangers of living in a dreamworld when the atrocity of 9/11 is upon us. This gentleman stays behind, inhaling the strawberry incense deeply, and hoping that it is not just a dream.
