Some folks put safety before freedom, they are called Sheeple!
They often end up as slaves.

I am shocked!! There is someone out there who is an even BIGGER TWERP on the 2A then Roooday. If “Roooday” runs as a democrat he has a far better chance of the nomination than he does running as a GOP candidate!

Bump to a PAIR of sick, demented gun-grabbers....

I hope Bloomberg is prosecuted on federal RICO charges. He is trying to extend his city law enforcement jurisdiction across state lines. He has hired people to harass gun shops all over the U.S. It's time to put him on the defensive.

Rudy has done nothing to distance himself from the most disturbing gun position he holds.

In this Feb 2000 interview on Meet the Press, Rudy said, "...a person who wants to possess a handgun should pass a written test, should be able to pass a physical test in the actual use of the gun, and should have to demonstrate good moral character and a reason to have the gun. That those should be...essentially there should be a uniform law passed by Congress that says that every state has to administer that...."

He went on to say, "...and I've been arguing for that since at least 1980."

My questions are, why should I have to show a reason to have my handguns, or to buy more of them, and where does the Congress get the power to pass such a law?

I think the whole notion that I should have to show a reason for buying a handgun inverts the natural relationship of a citizen and his government. The government should have to show a reason why I should NOT buy a handgun, rather than requiring me to show a reason why I should. A person who holds the opposite conviction just has a fundamentally different view of government from mine, and I can't support that view.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent

Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!

It will never happen here?.................. I bet the Aussies said that too!

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With Guns..........We Are “Citizens”.
Without Them........We Are “Subjects”.

During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

The Second Amendment is not a matter of interpretation, it’s a matter of fact. Not believing that and pressing for a total ban will warrant a large mob.
