Somewhat dated and probably posted here before, still a good read, especially in light of the recent 9th Circuit decision.

Somewhat dated

That's part of the problem. Some people think the 2nd Amendment is dated
Molon Labe!

Interesting. I just finished reading an old (ca.1972) book "The Arab Mind" (LCCN 72-11120) by one Raphael Patai. Buried in it (on p.221) is this gem: "For example, the Iraqi government was unable to carry out a program in 1932 because the people had no less than 100,000 rifles as against the 15,000 owned by the government."

THAT'S DATED? Now THIS is DATED! From around 1936 to 1945.

CAMP GUNFREE.
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life.
MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!

Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?

Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?

Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”

While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.

At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.

The unique main gate at Camp GunFree. Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.

Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns can ever be smuggled in.

No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.

All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.

Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist in a gun violence free community.

Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized work activities.

The current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

The Nazi weapons laws were copied into the 1968 Gun Control Act.

[Centurion2000]

Now, one thing that IS true: The wording of the 1934 NFA (or is that the 1968 GCA? Someone correct me if im wrong on that.)and the wording of the Nazi gun control statute are disturbingly similar - near exact if i remember right.

It's the 1968 Gun Control Act and the 1938 German Firearms Registration Acts that are so close in wording. IIRC, I think the JFPO (Jews for the Preservation Of Firearms) Has both texts side by side for comparison.

The Weimar Republic instituted gun registration, quite possibly with the most noble and benign intentions. But when the Nazis rose to power, they inherited the lists and started disarming political opponents and Jews, the rest is history. It doesn't matter how benign the intentions of the Weimar Republic might have been, either. And for that matter, no gun grabber today is even bothering to attempt to make any sort of case that could preclude a future government from using registration lists for confiscation, no matter how "benign" the intentions of the present regime.

Post 9. I bet Hillary is so PO'ed she missed out on that adventure.

"Tomorrow, Tomorrow I love ya, Tomorrow..."

Hillary. Here's hoping her dreams DON'T come true.
