When I was 15 I was almost murdered. That's what I was told by another teenager who rode his rusty BMX bike to the McDonald's in my Pittsburgh neighborhood to confront me. "I'm going to kill your black a**!" he screamed, wobbling his bike between his legs. I chuckled, as I often do when another black person calls me black, because, well, they're black as well.

OK.
We are all members of the Patriot Militia, by default.
Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don’t let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas? - Josef Stalin

I once saw a movie where only the police and the military had guns.
It was called, “Schindler’s List”
That's awful!
The 'almost' part!
Hey, I know what! Let’s just make murder against the law!
Excerpt from “Listen to Reason: The Bill of Rights Is a Package Deal”
Liberal sympathizers are unsympathetic to the argument from the Bush administration that a post-9/11 world requires expanded executive authority to suspend habeas corpus and detain individuals indefinitely, or to eavesdrop on Americans’ phone conversations, or to torture terrorist suspects. In those instances the Bush administration says the need to protect Americans from wanton violence justifies infringing on American liberties. But liberals are quite adamant that saving lives is not a sufficient rationale for abandoning principles.
Yet when the subject turns to the right of American citizens to own guns, many liberals suddenly find that the goal of saving lives justifies just that.
“A Modest Proposal”, eh. Well, he certainly picked the correct title for the screed.
And be sure to pre-approval for anything you want to say as well.
“Common sense speech control” — It’s for the common good.
I am sorry that you were the victim of black-on-black crime.
If he had used a machete instead, I presume you would have been cool with that?
One man with a gun can control 100 without one. ... Make mass searches and hold executions for found arms. - Vladimir Lenin
To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens. - Adolph Hitler
Idiots don’t pay attention to history.
Not true, because they do not buy their guns at establishments where guns may be purchased.
Modest? Is that supposed to be ****ing funny?
As you know, trying to disarm anyone who is determined to get a gun is futile. Even in Great Britain, where legal gun ownership is almost zero, criminals still get guns.
BTW:
It’s a modest proposal and a reasonable idea. Murders will disappear overnight in the same magical way that unlawful guns will go away. It will work the same way that the War on Poverty achieved all of those wonderful results.
“Saving lives” is a canard. If they were interested in saving lives, they would ban automobiles, which cause more deaths than guns ever will.
The right to own automobiles, btw, is not protected by the Constitution....
How about we ban all stupid people who call themselves journalists?
