A descendant of Ambrose Burnsides, a civil war general famous for 2 things. Sideburns, named after his trendsetting facial hair and for being one of the worst Generals in American history. Apparently he had a very strong genetic influence on his ancestors.
This is so wrong and sad on so many levels. Not the least of which is the fact that this drivel came from an individual with a college and post graduate degree.
I got a parking ticket the other day. It's the car's fault
Has Appalachia changed that much? This letter is from West-By-God-Virginia of all places.
Do these people ever think through what they are proposing?
First of all, banning something doesn't make it magically disappear.
Secondly, the logistics involved with confiscating every firearm in the country are too staggering to contemplate, both from a manpower standpoint, let alone the legal and moral issues. How many cops really want to go door-to-door taking away lawfully-purchased guns from angry citizens? That would be the definition of hazardous duty.
That's because Mr. Burnside is unable to think logically. No doubt, he's a product of our gov't schools' indoctrination program, or maybe he's on the payroll of one of the various gun-grabber institutions. Regardless, he's a kool-aid drinking fool and not entitled to have any sensible person read beyond that idiotic remark.
An educated population, being necessary to the enlightenment of an informed state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed.
Dear Jeremy:
Ever heard of a jinx? Go look in the mirror.
It's not the guns, it's you.
This is the same ol' saw, devoid of logic, fact and common sense, and heavy on emotion. I doubt he'll win over any converts, maybe sway some of the weak-minded Gen Xers and Generation.commers to whom gun rights is a new issue. The sides are chosen, the battle lines drawn, and all there is left to do is whip up support for the rash of new gun control legislation that will come from this Socialist Congress.
I hope our side stands strong, but the pessimist in me doubts we will. So at this point, buy ammo, get any repairs done to whatever needs it, buy spare parts, and prepare yourselves mentally.
MOLON LABE!!!!!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Barf Barf Barf
Liberal agenda garbage ping.
Translation: I'm a freaking LAWYER so I can dress up my mindless leftist drivel and wrap it up with some pseudo-legalese and therefore what I say matters.
Miller was never completed, actually. SCOTUS merely remanded the case for collection of further evidence. That the defendant was also a decedant, the case could not continue to an actual final ruling.
This idiot should prove his bravery by putting a sign in his front yard
The problem in this country isn't the laws, it's the lawyers.
And yet they do. From the beginning of time. Go figure.
Two Words: Cain & Abel
Well not exactly, it is the courts that interpret if laws passed by the popular vote are Constitutional. However, the legal decision he cites are sad interpretations of the second amendment. Does anyone know if he's correct that they haven't been overturned? Are there other rulings he neglects?
Burnside was a pompous yankee general who got many men killed and was fired by Lincoln. I see the fruits and berries from this family tree are still pompous.
Burnside--it is the people who kill moron. It is not a piece of hardware.
"The constitutionality of possible gun abolition would be an issue with many Americans who are law-abiding gun owners..."
If it weren't for that dang Constitution....
Molon labe, Mr. Burnside.
