“But none of us wants to own an assault weapon, because we have no desire to kill policemen or go to a school or workplace to see how many victims we can accumulate before we are finally shot or take our own lives”

Yeah, that’s it you idiot.
Anyone who wants a so called “assualt weapon” (BS terminology I will add), just wants to murder innocents with it.

Carter your sick of the mind. Utterly sick.

Umm, Jimmy, just so you know, the same people who are trying to spoon feed us the assault weapon ban is the same group who thinks that you've got an arsenal of firearms and are a gun nut. They'll even take that prized muzzleloader because there's no method for the hammer to imprint a serial number on the round ball. But that's ok, you won't be able to fire it, because they want to ban black powder, as it might be used as an explosive.

Those scopes they want to ban, because it's unfair for the animals, and a real hunter doesn't really need it, it's just there for killing cops and children. And should your friend want to apply modern technologies to make a futuristic muzzleloader, it too would be qualified as an assault weapon and again subject to the ban, simply because of certain features.

And those handguns - no one needs a handgun to go hunting.

This is why the ban is a bad idea, because the singular goal, as we found out over the ten years of the assault ban, is to simply ban guns. It is to expand what qualifies as a banned gun until no firearms are permitted at all.

Jimmy, you placed your hand on the bible and swore to defend the constitution. In few places is the constitution so absolutely and crystal clear, not limiting itself to congress, or the judicial, but making the absolute statement that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That's owning it, that's carrying it, that's using it if need be, and in no way is it limited to hunting or plinking - it was because the framers of the bill of rights knew that there was every reason to put concrete protections in, because they knew that the worst enemy our nation could ever face was our own bureaucratic class who felt they were entitled to make all the rules, and protect their position. So they eliminated the power to restrict speech, to restrict the freedom of the press, to not use a state religion to place themselves above God, and forbade impinging on the people's right to be armed and ready to retake their own country if need be.

The government that holds the people in contempt has nothing to fear from a disarmed population. And at the core, the framers wanted nothing of that, they wanted a government that didn't put a yoke on the people, but instead made a common contract of identity and ideals. A government of the people, by the people and for the people, not of a privileged class who abused governmental power for their own gain.

I support only one ban, that of forbidding those who have broken the common contract, who have committed felonies and high crimes from ever owning and possessing firearms. Not that the criminal element would ever submit to such rules; by their very nature, they are against that common contract.

Peanut Brain got out of the house again.

Shutup,Jimmuh,just Shutup!

[Malone LaVeigh]

It's interesting that since zero's coronation, the demand for firearms, especially the so-called assault rifles, has far exceeded the industry's ability to produce them.
Using mr. peanut's logic, now is not a good time to be a police officer.

[CholeraJoe]

I own assault rifles because that’s what the JBT’s carry and I want to be equally equipped.

[Domandred]

Presidents Ronald Reagan....supported a ban

Is this true? I've seen it said by gun grabbers a few times but haven't been easily able to find corroborating evidence.

[dirtboy]

But none of us wants to own an assault weapon, because we have no desire to kill policemen or go to a school or workplace to see how many victims we can accumulate before we are finally shot or take our own lives.

Tell you what, Jimmah. Write Obama and request that all members of the Secret Service are only allowed to posess revolvers and shotguns before you call for an assault weapons ban for the citizenry. Lead by example.

[Gritty]

Plains, Georgia, clearly has a village idiot in residence.

This is slander and demagoguery of the highest order.

[WackySam]

Instead, the N.R.A. is defending criminals’ access to assault weapons and use of ammunition that can penetrate protective clothing worn by police officers on duty.

Does this mean that you're willing to give up your "three scoped rifles", Jimmuh?

[Greystoke]

Why oh why couldn’t that killer rabbit get the job done?

[mad_as_he$$]

Cater you sucked. You sucked when you were president and you suck now.

The Second Amendment is not about the right to shoot. It is about the right to shoot back.

[VeniVidiVici]

[Hardastarboard]

Mr. Carter might want to take note of the fact that anyone of those hunting rifles he owns is much more capable of killing a police officer than a puny little assault rifle, merely for the fact that it can penetrate a bullet proof vest more readily.

For all those of you who have already pronounced 0bama the worst President ever, I hold out Exhibit A of why the hillbilly douche bag from Plains, GA has set the bar for "Worst President Ever" to a nearly unreachable level. Actually, calling Carter a hillbilly insults hillbillies. Y'all have my apology.

"I have used weapons since I was big enough to carry one, and now own two handguns, four shotguns and three rifles, two with scopes."

Jimma, you got a few years on me but so have I.

BTW Jimma, I know the difference between freedom and illusion of freedom: Only a free people own guns.

[Lee N. Field]

But none of us wants to own an assault weapon, because we have no desire to kill policemen or go to a school or workplace to see how many victims we can accumulate before we are finally shot or take our own lives. That’s why the White House and Congress must not give up on trying to reinstate a ban on assault weapons, even if it may be politically difficult.

I have no desire to " kill policemen blah blah blah". If my EBR stays in it's closet for the rest of my life because it's not needed that'd be OK. But not having the capability it give me, well, "Not Gonna Do It...Wouldn't Be Prudent At This Juncture."

[a fool in paradise]

I have used weapons since I was big enough to carry one, and now own two handguns, four shotguns and three rifles, two with scopes. I use them carefully, for hunting game from our family woods and fields, and occasionally for hunting with my family and friends in other places.

Why do I picture Elmer Fudd maniacal and old still looking for a pesky wabbit?

People murder people with all sorts of weapons, not strictly assault weapons.

It is insanity to have the "desires" that Mr. Peanut speaks of above. There are other purposes for the guns and he knows it.

Are you still beating your wife, Mr. President?

[rockrr]

The little worms inside his skull are acting up again and causing him to do his verbal vomitus. He’ll go back to his tea-mouse slumber again soon enough...

[ozzymandus]

“NRA is defending criminal’s rights to own assault weapons”??? Screw you, Carter, you’re a damned liar!

[chuck_the_tv_out]

"very disturbing"

Easily done, Jimmuh. Easily done.
