CNN Documentary "Behind the Veil" quote regarding Guns

CNN Documentary "Behind the Veil"

[leadpencil1]

Interesting quote by a Taliban spokesperson during this gripping documentary. He said that one of the first good things the Taliban did when they came to power was to disarm the people.

[leadpencil1]

Same as it ever was.......

[freeper12]

Heard that too...sound familiar??

[mgc1122]

armed peasants are just so much more trouble for tyrants.

He said that one of the first good things the Taliban did when they came to power
was to disarm the people.

Guess we'll just have to wait for FOX News to explain this to the sheeple of America...
especially the smart ones on our college and university campi.

disarm the people

Sounds so familiar. I'm assuming by "disarm" you mean take guns away, not chop arms off of people? Or both?

[joyce11111]

See...the taliband knows what's good for the people..take away their guns. That way their corrupt Governmment is safe from attack.

When I saw that, I thought maybe hitlery tried to take a page from the Taliband book.

"Heard that too...sound familiar?? "

Yep, the 103rd Congress tried to do the same thing
How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

NOT ONE SENATOR FROM EITHER PARTY VOTED AGAINST THIS.

It occurred to me watching that documentary that humanitarian aid should consist of food, medicines, and millions of small arms. They should just be parachuted in. Handguns should fall from the sky like a gentle snow. Wherever this was done, oppressive governments would crumble within hours.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I think you're on to something.

"Let's stick to reality here."

Reality IS the 2nd amendment, the way the Founding Fathers wrote it.
ANYTHING else is "fantasy".
Time for America to do away with ALL laws that violate the 2nd amendment.

Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment
will see that there is no constitutional authority for any type of gun registration
and *there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
*NOTE Vermont is the only state that understands this!
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.
How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")

mccain2004 said: "The Brady Bill did not take your gun away, even though you might prefer the fantasy that it did."

The fees I have had to pay in Kalifornia to prove that I am not a felon would have covered the price of a very nice gun.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"It kept some ex-felons, juveniles, stalkers, etc. from easy access."

Oh, I forgot, the criminals and gang members ALWAYS obey all laws.

[Freedom2specul8]

The gun control people will deny that govt can do such a thing...even when it is staring them in the face..they are sick puppies

[Oldsailor]

If you do not recognize that the Brady bill is aimed
directly at legal gun ownership then you are blind to what is going on with the gun control people.

Disarming the citzens has resulted in much of what the
terrorists are getting done right now.

[IW]

After taking away their guns, they did just like Hillary did, past a law against cockfighting.

We might all be better served if there were few in Congress, that were not in Congress.

That is a great idea, parachute drop of small arms. Another benefit is no U.S. casualties.
