MOLON LABE!

[Zavien Doombringer]

I ask all, Where do your loyalties lie?
The second admendment wasn't about hunting! It was about the overthrow of a tyranical government, as such as today. The politicians know it and want you to give up your guns so they will not have anything stopping them!

The other reason to keep arms, most terrorists will tell you, America is tough to terrorize because the population owns guns. Unlike most european and eastern countries.

Agreed and agreed again. Any abrogation of the Second Amendment signals wholesale erosion of ALL rights.

Not with 1 issue malcontents, that's for sure.

And isn't it iiiiinteresting that the U.N. is just itching to disarm us?

Like you said, terrorists are no different than any other punk criminal: they prefer their victims to be unarmed.

Much as I hated Bill Clinton in the White House I have to say this, it sure seemed Republican Congressmen were more vocal in defending our 2nd Amendment rights when he was there than they are doing while a Republican sits there now. I have been getting almost weekly reminders from the Republican Party asking where my contributions have gone. I guess I will have to start diverting the money I used to donate to the NRA and Republicans to buying copies of Unintended Consequences to leave lying about.

Just sign me "bitterly disappointed"

(am I the only one who remembers when the Rep.s in Congress PROMISED us that if we gave them the Congress in '94 this Bill would be undone?)

LOL. If standing up for our constitutional rights -- especially those rights that are demonized in the name of "safety" -- makes me a "1 issue malcontent," then I happily accept the label.

Wow! I guess the bill that recently passed the House that would get rid of frivolous lawsuits against firearm manufacturer's was off your RADAR screen.

Whoops, I forgot you probably get daily e-mails from the GOA, nevermind, go on with your rant.

***gasp***

Heresy!

You need to repeat the following mantras to put yourself in the mindset of the single issue gun fanatic:

They'll take my Stinger when they can pry out of my cold dead hands in the short term lot at the airport

They'll take my M1A1 Abrams when they can pry my smoking, charred corpes out of its blackened turret outside the police station

They'll take my CAR-15 when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands in the bank lobby

They'll take my grenade launcher when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands at my workplace.

[Zavien Doombringer]

And isn't it iiiiinteresting that the U.N. is just itching to disarm us?

Yes as well as something that needs to be addressed. I do know there isn't a gun owner willilng to give up thier weapon. If the UN invaded and declared that all weapons be confiscated, I am afraid the UN would be confiscated. The UN knows this, that's why it isn't moving so fast to get it done. After this war in Iraq is over, I believe you will see the the UN dissolve!

[Frohickey]

I'm very tempted to write two checks... one to the NRA, for 1 penny, the other for Rep Ron Paul, for $20. Make photocopies of each, and include it with the real check to the respective parties.

Bang

There are laws against murder, property damage, interference against transportation and mayhem.

There are laws against slander, and libel, I guess we should chop off your hands, and cut out your vocal cords then.

Yep, you got that lable. No doubt about that. I guess you are of the contingent that by withholding our vote or voting for some no-name candidate, thus helping the election a Hillary Presidency, will all of the sudden bring up an AK-47 sugar plum popular revolution and a Libertarian Monarchy will be established, and all will be well with the world.

JMO, but it is time to quit smoking "corn silk".

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Oh, and I forgot - you're supposed to grind your teeth, let your face turn purple and sweat, with veins popping out on your forehead, all while getting really mad and ranting wildly about Waco/Ruby Ridge/BATF/FBI/IRS. Something about your "right" to have long term, armed standoffs with law enforcement about refusing to actually go to court to assert your rights, yet hypocritically caterwauling about the inevitable final assaults which occur to bring in the resistors being done "without due process".

That last part would normally be funny, except that these so-called "men" who put up this resistance wind up getting a lot of innocent human shields killed.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Don't be cheap - give Ron Paul even more. See how wisely he uses it, and just how much traction you get with a heavy donation to the idiot.

ROFLMAO

[Beenliedto]

40+ million Second Amendment zealots with Dr. Ron Paul as our standard bearer could make a difference. What say ye?

I have long subscribed to the proposition that we must all vote the Second Amendment as a litmus test.

It is, in reality, the seminal issue. More important than tax cuts, abortion reform, or any of the other issues which so-called conservatives use to judge the worth of the candidates.

The way to quickly and positively influence the future of the Republic is to vote the Second Amendment at every level, from dog catcher to President.

And if that means voting for Ron Paul as opposed to George Bush, that's the way it should go.

Mr. bush has certainly demonstrated that he is no friend to the protection of liberty.

[Dan from Michigan]

Michael(and all gunowners), what are you going to do about it.

As for Ron Paul, he voted against the ban on firearm lawsuits. He ain't perfect.

Are you involved in the county political party? Are you working in the primaries to get good people elected. Are you elected good state reps, senators, and county officials that are tomorrows congressman. That's where it starts. In my county, you don't win the primary if you are a gun grabber.

We need to fight hard, and just as importantly, fight smart and quit bitching about the NRA 24/7 and do it better.
