“Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear.”

But owning the ammunition is another matter.

The bad news is that Barack Hussein Obama and his congressional cadre may well use the current crisis as cover to further undermine our constitutional rule of law.Just by being in the White House he has done so.

Outlaws built this country. I’d be proud to be numbered among them.

Not to rain on your party, but, WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

Militias are in every State of the United States, why do you think Janet Rino tried to destroy them at WACO, when the militias were prepared to come in to get the children out and Rino burned them to death first and buried the evidence before actual war broke out in this Country.

Never wanted to own a gun..I was too afraid of them

Are you afraid to go swimming? Pools are much more dangerous than guns. Don't even think about plopping down in one of those "engines of death" known as an automobile.

Seriously, guns are a tool, and have the potential to be dangerous, just like knives, stoves, chainsaws, lawnmowers and so forth (Or the dreaded power take off which has killed and maimed plenty of farmers). But with training and practice the danger is minimized, to less than most other tools.

And besides, shooting is FUN.

"Militias are in every State of the United States..."

When Mexico falls apart, be prepared. Do not depend on our legal system. Take action and just walk away. Where can you get one of those black hoods? It will come to that.

I had to laugh at what you wrote...no I do not swim...deep water is unnerving to me...as for driving...still have never had a license.

I guess when my brother took my dad’s 22 (when I was about 10 and he was 11) and was shooting indiscriminately in the backyard...it kind of put the fear of guns into me...I remember sliding under my bed for safety..You’d have to know my brother to understand.

So, to even imagine myself holding a gun is a huge breakthrough in my way of thinking. Who knows maybe someday I will become a gun owner...and I think training would help me to understand the gun better.

Obama claims: "I believe in the Second Amendment. Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear.

Then why does your congressman want to register all users of pistols and semi-automatic firearms with removable magazines? Hmm.

HR 45 sponsered by former Black Panther (co-founder of the Illinois branch), Congressman Bobby Rush, IL-1. Bill Ayer's Congresssman, Bernadin Dorne's Congressman, "Calypso" Louis Farrakan's Congressman, and Barack Obama's Congressman.

Also the Congressman of a whole lot of boys in the 'hood.

HR 45 would require a federal license to *posses* a handgun or semiautomatic firearm with a removeable magazine. The Attorney General, likely Eric Holder, would make up the test (hard) and decide on the fee(high). It would be a felony to posses such a weapon without your federal permit. You'd have your thumbprint taken as well, which means you'd have to go somewhere, probably the nearest federal courthouse, to have that taken.

Wrong. There are about five million patriots and they belong to the NRA, SAF, The Citizen’s Committee and a couple of the smaller groups like the Second Amendment Sisters.

The rest expect those five million to do all the work.

You need to FReepmail FrouFrou, and discuss the issue. She's still recoil adverse, or was last Spring anyway. Even a .380 was too much for her. But she managed to shoot the daylights out of my Ruger .22 pistol. It's kind of heavy for a .22, but hardly bites, or barks, at all. Something like that, or even an air pistol, is a good starting point. Ear protection is important too, you might want to go the plugs and muffs route, rather than just one or the other.

You'll get there if you really want to.

A .22 rifle would be an even better starting point. They essentially don’t “kick” at all, and the noise is less than many cap guns or small firecrackers. (Still wear hearing protection though!)

“Outlaws built this country. I’d be proud to be numbered among them.”

George III thought so. One of the “outlaws’ said, “We’d better hang together or we’ll all hang separately”.
