GUN CULTURE THREATENS DEMOCRACY : Gun lobby threatens our very way of life

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence ^ | May 13 | Josh Horowitz

[Tabi Katz]

Just the talk of GUNS gives me the heeby-jeebies. I'm so frightened.( /Lib weenie squeal)

Now, now, it's not nice to make fun of our liberal friends. They only want to protect us from the law-abiding.

Save for the quotes. Thanks.

"The most recent example of the tension came last month, when Florida Gov. Jeb Bush signed a bill that allows people to use deadly force -- including guns -- when faced with a violent threat, even when a confrontation could be avoided by simply walking away. The new law goes far beyond self-defense, which was already a well-established right in Florida, to invite vigilantes to substitute their judgment for the judicial system. "

Florida eliminated it's "requirement to run" law, and I believe adapted Texas law that says basically that any legally armed citizen is not required to run. If you feel that your life is being threatened, you can use deadly force, and this has not caused any problems in Texas.

Q.) Did the camp inmates ever bring up the topic, "If only we were armed before, we would not be here now"?

A.) Many, many times. Before Adolph Hitler came to power, there was a black market in firearms, but the German people had been so conditioned to be law abiding, that they would never consider buying an unregistered gun. The German people really believed that only hoodlums own such guns. What fools we were. It truly frightens me to see how the government, media, and some police groups in America are pushing for the same mindset. In my opinion, the people of America had better start asking and demanding answers to some hard questions about firearms ownership, especially if the government does not trust me to own firearms, why or how can the people be expected to trust the government?

There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and had been well armed. Hitler's thugs and goons were not very brave when confronted by a gun. Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half starved group of Jews took up 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazis.

"Weaver's wife was murdered as a result. If this is the "way of life" that's being threatened then I'm all for that."

If I remember correctly, the federales paid Randy $3 million for murdering his wife, son, and dog. Great people, these FBI Snipers!

[They don't like a lawfully armed government either. They hate cops and they hate soldiers with an equal passion. If you asked them a situation in which force can be lawfully employed, they probably couldn't think of one. Yep, they're consistent there.]


Reminds me of a conversation I had with a self described "proud liberal" about a week or so ago.

She said she hated guns and hated bombs. Her moral beliefs told her that it is wrong to use violence to solve your problems. She was even more enthusiastic in her hatred for President Bush. She hates him because he uses the military of this country to kill people, and even though it may bring democracy to a former dictatorial country and stop atrocities from happening (as she acknowledged in Afghanistan, if not Iraq) it is still never worth the price of using force to kill people she said.

She then told me that she wished someone would KILL GEORGE BUSH and that it would have been great if that hand grenade that was found (in the crowd at the Georgian speech) would have exploded, killing the President.

It's amazing that anyone can say something so obviously hypocritical and not realize it, but I've come to the realization that ALL pacifists are living a life of enormous hypocrisy. If you want to live your life in peace and not anarchy, then you need to accept that force (personal or by proxy) is mandatory, and if you want justice, then you need to make sure the ones who employ the greatest force are the good guys.

Josh, if you're really serious about changing things, feel free to go out there and confiscate all those guns on your own.

The two "G" words that make liberals scream running for the hills: God and Guns!

The two "G" words they do like are Gays, and Globalization.

[goldstategop]

They do make an exception. Its kosher to murder conservatives. And this from folks who pride themselves on being non-judgmental and compassionate to others. I guess every one needs a bete noire. For the Left, its folks who watch The Dukes Of Hazzard.

>> Thug gun culture is a threat.

It is indeed. I want to buy a shiny new bar or m1a1, and the wife is going to severely maim me if I do... I abhor violence, especially when committed upon my person by a loved one.

I can't even get upset over the gun control weenies anymore; hopefully they will exterminate themselves via their own foolish notions. Lets let those who live off of the mentality they (gun controllers) perpetuate eat till they pop.

I just want a new rifle and a couple of days at the rage.

Bang, bang... She is not going to let me get my bar... because she is evil... and will shoot me with it...//sss

[goldstategop]

Err... that would be Gomorrah and Global Warming. Lefties hate "globalization," which to them is code for unfettered world-wide American-style capitalism.

I sincerely believe that you have a moral AND legal obligation to contact Homeland Security.

Just goes to show beyond any logical doubt; liberals _feel_ the penalty for disagreeing with them should be death.

[ Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be important."
~ John F. Kennedy, April 1960. ]


I have an observation about this quote. I agree that "it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation" this is ONLY true if the citizens are always well armed. Take away the only tool of force to guard our own freedoms and the "governmental tyranny" will quickly follow.

Pardon me if I go ahead and puke anyway.

"As LaPierre puts it, "The Second Amendment is the fulcrum of freedom in our nation, because freedom and the Second Amendment are mutually interdependent. They are the 'chicken and the egg;' neither can exist without the other.""

So what part of that statement can't the commies/socialists/gun-grabbing fascists/fabian/gramsciites understand?

" . . . they are threats to our democracy and our way of life.", says Horrorwits.

Of course they are! They are supposed to be. Take 'your way of life' and 'democracy' and set up shop in another country, stupid. We'll keep our Republic -- one way or another. Count on it!

[Waco]

So Josh, just what is it you have in mind for me, that you're so damned worried about me having a gun?? Hmmm?
