That's right.

Socialists, communists, anarchists and other registered democrats want Americans disarmed so that we cannot pose a threat to their potentially brutal use of power.

That's the way Hitler and Stalin did it, and that's the way today's democrats will do it.

>>>>>The comedian Chris Rock had a brilliant idea ...

Chris Rock is an imbecile.

I'll trust the Founders and Justice Scalia to speak for me.

**I’m scared of guns, never played with guns, and jump whenever a firecracker pops. Gun violence is quick, devastating, and impersonal. Can’t we human beings figure out another way of conflict resolution? **

Typical faintheart lib bedwetter. Probably hides under the bed each 4th of July.

The cities are far more likely to need a gun than a western frontier area of the 1830s!

Yup. And as Roger D. McGrapth proved in his Gunfighters, Highwaymen & Vigilantes, you were much safer in a frontier town full of gun carrying cowboys and miners in the 1870s than a modern big city anywhere in America today.

Because they forgot about the inner cities and their adjacent suburbs.

FWIW, I'll glady volunteer for any conquering that needs to be done in my neck of the woods, er, subs........

Daniel Boone wasn't born until 1735, not 1700. Although his father (who had the same name) might well have said something like that, he most likely didn't speak English all that well. That's because lots and lots of stuff regarding his Dan Boone's mother's family (the Morgans) gets loaded onto the Boones by people who just gotta' have it that these guys who lived on the Susquehanna had been "Quakers".

The old "New Sweden" settlements in Lancaster County PA, and around Elkton, MD, relocated to the Susquehanna circa 1700 precisely to GET AWAY FROM THE QUAKERS then moving into the country and ruining it for the then virtually 100% Scandinavian population.

As you can see there are doubts (based on facts) about the official Boone genealogy. The claim that the Boones were Quakers is based on the idea that the Quakers dominated Burks and Lancaster counties where the Boones lived earlier. That turns the Boones into Englishmen too (in case no one noticed). However, the fact that the Boones relocated to the Susquehanna before little Daniel was born demonstrates that they were part of the Scandinavian community ~ most likely pure blood Sa'ami for that matter although we can never know what kind of "Morgan" Mrs. Boone (little Dan's mother) really was ~ there are plenty of Scandinavian's today with the Morgan name, or names that "sound like" it.

Not sure how we go about demolishing someone's traditional "official" ("He was English and a Quaker, no doubt about it, even though he carried wagon loads of guns about the countryside and fought AND killed Indians") genealogy. Maybe we start right here.

"I think every bullet should cost five thousand dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders."

I think guns are tools just like a wrench or a screwdriver whomever is using the TOOL is the one weilding the power of right or wrong

Should we ban Screwdrivers ? Screwdriver stabbing in Chicago's Loop

Woman Allegedly Beat Mother With Plumbing Wrench

So maybe we should ban 2x4's with nails in them and towchains too ?

Hell i could make a weapon out of a teaspoon want to charge 10 thousand for one of those ?

Giles needs to remember that firearms brought about the end of the Holocaust.

And slavery. Abe the Emancipator and all.... Needed a lot of guns, as my people down here were opposed to his invasion.

No, she wouldn't. This was the biggest lie in the article.

As far back as the 1700s, the famed explorer Daniel Boone said that "All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife."

Not my definition of happiness.

What's she got against horses?

Probably that they won't cuddle? lol

Okay, so sue me!!

Though I'm very rusty (much the same as my Seasoned Citizen memory) I can remember when I studied martial arts in Japan some 45 years ago and after achieving advanced degrees, my hands could have been considered dangerous (and even lethal) weapons.

In other words, you're a wuss. Move to Quebec at once!
