Seriously?
First ... no one is taking our guns. Regulating? That’s another issue.
Second ... they didn’t have drones, tanks, etc in 1776.
We are Conservatives, not idiots.
“they didn’t have drones, tanks, etc in 1776”
“a British officer demanded the men throw down their arms. They refused”
The best armed & trained troops in the world, 1776—British regulars
Molon labe, noob. Live free or die.
Seriously!
No one is taking our guns...yet. Regulating? Not in the “well regulated” sense of the Second Amendment, but restricted certainly. “Infringed” in the language of the Bill of Rights.
No, they didn’t have drones, tanks, etc., in 1776. Whatever real effect they would have here, today. But if you’re Skeered, that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
We are Conservatives, not pussies.
Yeah, but like during WWII, we still have "a weapon behind every blade of grass."
THIS is what they're attempting to deny us. It all goes down hill from there.
UN arms treaty could put U.S. gun owners in foreign sights, say critics
"A treaty being hammered out this month at the United Nations -- with Iran playing a key role -- could expose the records of America's gun owners to foreign governments -- and, critics warn, eventually put the Second Amendment on global trial.
Dude, with a comment like that — one of numerous ones I have seen you make — you are NO conservative. You are a mushy moderate, and I’m even a little reluctant to speculate you have a Republican cast to you.
Seriously, I highly doubt you are a conservative, so idiot may apply to you. Second, maybe no one is trying to take your guns, because I doubt you have any.
I don’t understand why you leftists believe you can fool conservatives. We are smarter than you.
As a postscript, you’re right that no concrete confiscation proposals have been made—yet.
But they were grabbing guns during Katrina, and McLaughlin and others are using the word “confiscation”.
So they talk, we talk. Everyone’s just concerned.
Bam’s people are floating ‘executive order’ trial balloons almost every day.
We’re `reactionaries,’ at least that’s what they call us.
“Idiots”? No, sir.
You obviously do not live in NY where the Governor is proposing confiscation.
Regulating? That’s another issue.
What does that mean? How much "regulation" do you find acceptable? A CT lawmaker just proposed outlawing anything EXCEPT single-shot firearms.
Second ... they didn’t have drones, tanks, etc in 1776.
And your point is? That a battle would be unwinnable? Tell that to the Afghans.
We are Conservatives, not idiots.
In the late 1700's Americans were pretty evenly divided between loyalists, patriots and those that were indifferent. A time for choosing is once again about to be thrust upon us. Where will you stand?
Ummm. it starts as an outlier discussion then it moves toward the mainstream.
More than one senator has already expressed that desire and it will only really take a switchover in Congress to legislate an outright ban and when that doesn’t work, confiscation isn’t far behind.
I expect to see the govt do something with background checks that makes it impossible to get a gun at a show and they will restrict the import of ammo, guns and mags.
You sound afraid and scared . . .
Lead, Follow or Get Out Of The Way !
I just got back from walking the dog and no response. Why do you think there’s no threat of confiscation or that we would fold like lawn chairs or be crushed? I saw a similar opinion expressed here the other day.
ar·gu·ment (ärgy-mnt): A discussion in which disagreement is expressed; a debate. Or, reasoned debate tested by doubt.
I’d rather be wrong than thought unreasonable.
C’mon, you’re an old guy like me. And a lawyer.
Good arguments are productive—if we all agreed, we’d be DU, right? (Do you agree? ;-) We argue with ourselves before deciding things like what to have for lunch.
I’m not telling you anything you don’t know. All these threads are mini-arguments in this school of life known as FR.
Don’t let the greek chorus shut you down. Didja know that the Greek word `idiot’ was applied to Athenians (particularly) with no political opinions or involvement in political life.
So let your freak flag fly, FRiend! Don’t hold back now, you never should have promised it ...
Ah, never mind, too much effort, ain’t gonna bump no more wit you.
Just because you in California are OK with losing your 2nd Amendment rights doesn’t mean the rest of us have to lay down.
I think you need to read more of the comments coming out of the Democrat party. Confiscation is their goal. After taking away guns that are suited to standing up against their brown shirts.
You’re proving what we in “fly over country” have known all along. A West Coast, or East Coast conservative is a liberal anyplace else.
Second ... they didn’t have drones, tanks, etc in 1776.
There was no internet, radio, or television. I guess the First Amendment doesn't apply to these either.
We are Conservatives, not idiots.
Not in your case.
You smell like troll.
You come on the threads about 2A and harangue those who speak plainly about what is happening in plain sight.
Why are you even here?
To save us from ourselves?
Don't kid yourself, friend. Gun regulation is simply citizen disarmament in slow motion.
The Commie left knows that they can't take our guns through force, which is why they long ago mastered the art of incrementalism. They've practically nullified the entire U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights by ever so slowly chipping away at them.
Second ... they didn’t have drones, tanks, etc in 1776.
Which would be completely ineffective in a fight against 100 million armed citizens. Not to mention the fact that patriots in uniform will never allow those war machines to be deployed against their fellow Americans.
I'll give you this - You are consistent.
