If they don’t allow a vote on drilling for oil, they may LOSE a few seats!

Given the change in the number of “shall carry” states between the late 1980’s (1) and now (around 40) it’s hard to see how this is going to help the democrats.

Gun Control is Racist

Do you honestly believe that?

Why shouldn’t I?

In its early days it certainly was.

"Gun Control is Racist"

"Do you honestly believe that? "

Does that mean you don't?

I've read that history aand been referred to it at least a dozen times -- and have given the same reply each time -- just because something began wy back in the early 1700s or so, is not proof that gun control IS racist today. If you think that it is racist today, please tell me how taking guns away from the entire population )as the democraps want) is dicriminatory against or for any particular race of people.

If thinnking, as I do, that gun control laws are stupid exercises in futility, then I guess you can not only call me a racist, but a very strongly opinionated one on the subject.

I just noticed that. I will most certainly expend my full energies in an effort not to repeat such a resoundingly horrible and offensive mistake in the future. I do hope he hasn’t suffered any permanent disabilities as a result of my criminal oversight.

Do you honestly believe that?

In my state, it's provably true. Read the research on GeorgiaCarry.org on ''The Racist Roots of Gun Control'' and see for yourself.

I would agree that racism plays a smaller part in the gun ban movement than it used to, but it is still a factor. Any time someone uses the term “Saturday Night Special,” they are using a racist term whether they know it or not.

Gun control is not futile, but has a very specific agenda. It is packaged as crime control (for which it is not only futile, but extremely counterproductive), but the real agenda is civilian disarmament to facilitate a government/criminal monopoly on the use of force. This can be used to keep the populace “pacified.”

What comes after that is a terrible thing to contemplate, but contemplate it we must, as history shows that the logical end is usually some kind of genocide.

That being said, here’s a fun game to play with people you encounter who are gun-control proponents. Ask them, “who do you want to be killed in a genocide?” It’s a great way to either end the conversation, or take it in an unexpected direction (for the recipient of the question, anyway).

You have to read the first part of that poster to get your answer.
