“Screw you.” That’s it. Except the first word isn’t “Screw.”-—Then a bullet hole appears in their forehead.

I will argue with them just to illustrate how wrong they are - which doesn’t take long.

Then they just degenerate into acting like children having a temper tantrum.

My response to those who want to “do something” about “gun violence”: If you want to avoid truly massive amounts of “gun violence”, don’t even think about coming after mine.

The expressions on their faces are usually priceless.

***They want to do it in baby steps, and with our cooperation, since they cannot do it by force.***

As noted before. One step at a time!

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.

Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.

My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the POSSESSION OF ALL HANDGUNS, and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.

If they get their way, anything not banned simply means they will be along shortly to collect the remainder.

This is where I am currently. There is no reason to argue with liberals anymore because there is—well—no reason to their arguments.


They’re impossible to deal with. It’s best to tell them to f-— off and go to hell. How dare they want to deny people the ability to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Plus their “compromises” are fake. You “compromise” by ceding ground, while they compromise by letting you give up less than in their wettest, most fascist dreams. The civil rights ratchet only clicks one direction with them, the wrong one.

Their game is to try and incrementally chip away at our rights until they can go for the lot of it.

No dice.

I have this article saved and whenever I get really pissed off, I go back and read it. "This" was one of those times:

Sorry about that - I did a search for it and didn’t find anything.

I thought at least it warranted it’s own thread - at least for future reference.

They can do whatever they like. If the law doesn’t apply to them, it doesn’t apply to me either. Plus, it’s 2015, word on the street is that in a pinch Russia makes Deliveries.

How true! We both set down at the negotiating table. They want our guns. What do THEY have to bargain with? NOTHING!

They simply want our guns without giving up anything because they have NOTHING to offer up.

So liberals who have raised my taxes, taken my freedom, corrupted my culture, belittled my values and mocked and made of me while doing all the above are now nervous that I’m armed.

That’s actually pretty smart of them.

Will we let them disarm us? That remains to be seen. How stupid do you think your fellow citizens are?

I’m disheartened after watching the last 7 years.

They can’t be once you realize that no matter how many times you try to mollify them, they will be back for more.

It’s like clockwork after every mass shooting.
