But I still have 5 days left in my First Ammendment waiting period...

LOL!!! The best all week!!!

Here's #6. "Every head of household will be required to own at least one firearm."

You're correct. Mmandatory arms ownership would have to be the last.

"There has indeed been a notable shift, at least around here."

I'm glad I don't live wherever "here" is.

More important than self-protection (which is very important) is the defense of political liberty. The presence of terrorists in our midst has made this fact clear. We will not be sheep led to the slaughter.

I would like to post a response....

You know, it might bring a valuable lesson home in certain quarters if members had to check a for/against gun control option when signing up at FR. Assure them their answer will be held in the strictest confidence.

Then, when they go to submit a post, have a page pop up that thanks them for their submission, and then inform them that it will be held for a five day "cooling off" period (15 days in calif), and they can come back at the end of the waiting period to confirm their desire to post the submission if they're still interested in seeing it posted.

I can imagine the instant outrage, and the inevitable "Just who do you people think you are?" -- to which they'd be told, "we think we're you!". (Since they're stupid, they'd need some more explanation, but hey, can you imagine the turnabout-is-fair-play aspect of it?)

"Dick Cheney just said yesterday that this is going to be one war where we lose more people here than soldiers overseas. No doubt he was thinking of germ/chemical warfare."

No, he was just doing simple math. Unless more than five thousand body bags come back, we've already lost more people here than soldiers overseas.

having survived the l.a. riots, i was amused when fashionable liberal women armed themselves afterwards.

they came to understand that the police are not there to protect them but to take a report after the fact.

[Hillary 666]

Regardless of the media in America, liberalism is in big trouble. When the 9/11 attacks happened, my reaction was to go out and buy .357 magnum ammo. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

I've gone out shooting with several buddies a few times before. But, there is a difference. Now my buddies' wives want to go, too. They did, and they love it.

We got the wives some instruction from professionals and they thought it was great. Oh man, Sarah Brady ain't gonna like this!! I'm not saying that Sept. 11 was a good thing, but at least some people were able to step up and do something positive.

I think I can take a crack at #7.

#7 It is the duty of all citizens to actively work to ensure that they live in a safe society.
Citizens are required to be alert, armed and prepared to provide the defense of self and state at all times.

[sailor4321]

That would seem to be one of the many implications of the Emerson decision, wouldn't it?

>> five day "cooling off" period (15 days in calif),

HEY, it's only 10 days! They changed it after the LA riots because the Holywierd couldn't get their AK-47's fast enough!

Man, are we close to liberty! Or what?

[packrat01]

steve-b These attacks never would have succeeded if a single person with a handgun and a cool head had been in the right place at the right time.

Campion Well, actually it would have taken 4 people with handguns in the right place at the right time.

An armed America is a safe America. Do it for the kids.

Not four. One person, cool head; four dead.

[packrat01]

KMFDM?

I'm slow at this. Kiss My what?

[PLMerite]

What I heard...

The "cute" definition was "Kill MFing Depeche Mode (a Brit group)" but the "true" one is "Kein Mitgeld Fur Den Mehrheit," which is German for "no sympathy for the majority."

I dunno, there aren't many German phrases that make it into the common lexicon so I remembered it.

[Skywalk]

I think it's time for one of my favorite poster sigs...

"Stay safe

stay armed

--Yorktown

[packrat01]

I'll submit, KAMFBG

"Kill All MF Brit Groups"

We're safe

We're armed

--WTC

"A thousand gun control laws would not have prevented this massacre. What am I doing?"

Probably waiting for your concealed carry permit to be approved.

Hypocrite.
