"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I can’t see the founding fathers ever wanting the American public to become defenseless. They wanted to maximize liberty, not diminish it. And liberals always try to rewrite the history books because that is a great source of power.
It’s not “gun control.” “Gun control” means each round you fire goes where you intend. What we have here is Victim Disarmament.
“Gun control” to a liberal means stripping you and me of the right to defend ourselves.
So WE need to start defining the terms of the debate, not let the gun-grabbers and statists of ANY sort be the ones who set the definitions. When we call it what it IS, it becomes apparent what the libs want to do.
***In the 1960s, gun control came back with a vengeance. Modern liberalism became the dominant political philosophy in this country. And after the deaths of JFK, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., an all-out national push for gun control was launched. ****
Ah yes. I remember it well.
1961. Thomas Dodd and Emanual Cellar said “We don’t want to take your guns away. We only want to register handguns! Long guns will not be affected.”
1963. All guns now must be registered and five shot bolt action Army surplus rifle imports banned.
1968. Today we make America safe by taking the guns out of the hands of criminals.... Syndon Johnson signing the 1968 Gun Control Act. (The Nazi weapons law rewritten).
1972 “All ‘Saturday Night Specials’ must be banned!”
1976 “All handguns must be banned!”
1981. “The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns and they can keep their long guns.”...Actress Lee Grant on GMA.
1988. All military style Assault rifles ahd handguns must be banned!
2001. All >50 Cal rifles must be banned!
When they say they don’t want to take away your guns remember this.
They lied to us in 1961.
They lied to us iin1963.
They lied to us in 1968.
They lied to us in 1972, 76, 81 and they are lying to you now!
I couldn't agree more.
We’d be a better, more enlightened society if we had strict judge control laws.
Then let’s start NOW. It’s victim disarmament and the perps are GUN-GRABBING STATISTS... And the employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco and firearms are BATFags...
That's why I'll never vote for Giuliani or Romney. Gun grabbers, both of them.
Ms. Froman, I would like to see nothing more than the 1934 NFA and the 1968 GCA struck down.
There’s a reason JPFO, despite representing a pretty narrow segment of the population, is a prominent gun owners’ organization. Jews have a unique and specific perspective on ownership of firearms.
A few thousand rifles would have been a cool thing to have in the Warsaw ghetto, don’t ya think?
Ping to read later.
Unfortunately, most Jews are both liberal and anti-gun. The JPFO is a small (but vocal) minority of Jewish opinion. Given their racial history, they "oughta" know better, but most of them are Kool-Aid drinkers.
Background info for people on your list.
You got that right.
- But how can we have a proper gun grab thread without FR's resident supporters of a States power to prohibit our right to bear arms that offend community standards?
Where's Mojave and his merry band?
Thanks for the post.

May I add an amendment to include all politicians.
