There is now and ever has been only one reason to disarm a populace.

No one wants your guns, but it's looking like you will need to go through a rigorous background check regardless where or how you purchase a firearm. Multi-round clip sales may also get nixed but we'll see next week.

If you know the right people you can buy anything from RPG's to hand grenades.

Check? Who does that ? GUN SHOW...no checks..

Clips? banana clips are 25$.

Check the flea market..although the weekend you go may not have the correct 30 round clip you are looking for.

i.e. AK instead of M16 or vice versa.

The best was when someone offered me a slightly used Mac-10 and 5 clips for 400$.

(I was like, something awfully wrong about this one..)

"No Thank You"...(and please don't shoot me)

Someone just told me about a guy that will take your cell phone and for 200$ he makes it so you never get another bill again.

(If you pick up and it has someone else's voice on it, you are to hang up and bring it back to him and he will adjust it and give it back)

He guarantees it for the life of your phone.

again "No Thank You"...Trouble is easy to find, I don't go looking for it.

Funny how these Christians, who are supposed to have such deep fulfilling spiritual lives, are the ones living in constant hate, fear, paranoia and distrust.
I've said it before, I felt a lot better after I quit Christianity.



It was christians who designed a government that would guarantee freedom for all people. Back then, they still remembered what tyranny was. You have enjoyed freedom because they were willing to shed their blood on a battlefield against the worlds superpower. (I wonder if you get the historical reference?)

We are not living in fear for ourselves, bro. It's all of us going down when the government has flushed checks and balances. I'm amazed at how easy it was to destroy us from the inside.

Unfortunately for all of us, you will live to regret the day you heard the name Obama. Or you will die quickly and soon.

Gun shows

common misconception is that there are no background checks. Wrong. Same laws apply at Gun shows.

private individuals walk around sometimes with a rifle or piece of gear and a sign - that's a private transaction. but the dealers all use checks.

Two other things:

Gun shows are the safist darn places you'll ever visit.

the people's manners are incredibly good.

Also - they are rather more 'diverse' than you might think.

A Layman's short History of Gun Control in America
Keep and Bear Arms ^ | 31 August 2001 (or thereabouts)

Posted on Tuesday, September 04, 2001 05:57:48 PM by 45Auto

Most people think that gun control is a recent phenomenon in America, and in a way, they're right.

However, if you've read your American history, you'll know that the Revolutionary War was sparked off by…Tada: An act of gun control! That's right, just why did the British General Thomas Gage dispatch Major John Pitcairn to Concord on the night of April 18, 1775? To seize powder, shot, and arms. On the morning of April the 19th, 50 to 60 militiamen met them at Lexington.

He sure wasn't going there for a picnic or a tea party. Big mistake; he and his men were shot at all the way back to Boston. He started out with about one thousand men, but before he got back to Boston he had lost 273 men. This should tell anyone with the brains of a gnat what our forefathers thought of gun control; they were willing to start a war with the mightiest nation in the world at the time over this and other issues.

In 1813, Kentucky enacted the first carrying concealed weapon statute in the United States. The Kentucky Court of Appeals struck down the law in 1822 as a violation of the state constitutional protection of the right to keep and bear arms.

In 1837, Georgia completely banned the sale of pistols, with the exception of larger pistols known and used as "horsemen's pistols" and other weapons. The Georgia State Supreme Court overturned this law in Nunn V. State (1846).

Indiana, Alabama and Arkansas all had concealed carry laws in the early to mid 1800's. Before the Civil War, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the privileges of citizenship included the individual right to own and carry firearms.

The Dred Scott case did much to bring about the Civil War:

"It would give to persons of the negro race, who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union, the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased.... and it would give them full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went."

This led to the Fourteenth Amendment:

Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Most of the reconstruction in the Southern States hinged upon the creation of black militias, which was composed of armed, freed blacks, officered in large part by black veterans of the Union Army. In the months after the Civil War, what was left of the southern governments struck at these units with the enactment of what was called black codes, which outlawed gun ownership by blacks entirely, or imposed permit systems for them, and provided for the confiscation of firearms owned by blacks. (Source: Report of The Subcommittee On The Constitution Of The Committee On The Judiciary, United States Senate Ninety-Seventh Congress Second Session February 1982.)

Some of the "cow towns" of the old west, such as Wichita and Dodge City, also had their own versions of gun control; the "dead-line." Cross that line carrying a gun and you could wind up dead. It was a "reasonable" reaction to groups of young men, sometimes no more than boys, who, after spending months of sleeping on the ground, eating lousy food, doing hard work, with low pay, no women, little sleep, and hours of sitting in a saddle on a horse who tried every morning to disembark them, tended to want to party, and in a serious way.

As we all know, if you combine young men with booze/drugs and guns, sometimes someone ends up with up with more holes in their bodies than the good Lord intended. A prime example of this can still be found in Bodie California, just north of Mono Lake, a silver mining town of the old west. The bar and ceiling of the saloon still show the holes put there by miners, gamblers, and gun fighters. At the same time, burglary and rape were almost unheard of in the old west. A man trying to rape a woman in an alley was apt to find him-self staring down the gun barrels of the townsmen.

The shoot-out at the OK corral took place because the Earp brothers, along with John "Doc" Holliday, wanted to disarm the Clanton gang.

In 1911 New York City passed the Sullivan Act.

The 1920's and 1930's saw many states imposing "A Uniform Act to Regulate the Sale and Possession of Firearms," which prohibited unlicensed carrying and possession. The National Firearms Act was imposed in 1934; it required a $200 tax on each fully automatic firearm or silencer. Over the years, the tax was also applied to short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and a few other classes of weapons."

The Federal Firearms Act of 1938 began the firearm dealer licensing system.

The FFA was expanded into its present form by the Gun Control Act of 1968, which included prohibitions on mail order firearm sales, sales between residents of different states, recordkeeping on ammunition that can be used in a handgun, and prohibition of importation of firearms not considered "sporting" by the Treasury Department (BATF).

Almost all the major gun control laws were passed under a Democrat controlled Senate/House or Presidency. They were in control of the White House from 1933 to 1953: Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman.(Source: World Book Encyclopedia)

The assassinations of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and the Reverend Martin Luther King were the prime motivations behind the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968.

In the 1980s, the federal ammo record-keeping requirement was rescinded, and sales of long guns by a dealer in one state to a purchaser from another state were decriminalized. The manufacturing of armor-piercing ammo capable of being used in a handgun was outlawed. Firearms capable of being sneaked through airport security systems were also prohibited.

1989 saw President Bush directing the BATF to restrict the importation of various semi-auto-only service rifles under the "sporting" test. Ex-President Clinton further restricted those firearms by the same method in 1994 and 1998. He prohibited the importation of firearms from communist China in 1993.

1994: the Brady Act and federal "assault weapons" law took effect. Brady began the background check requirement on retail handgun sales nationwide, even though one-third of the states already had a similar law. In 1998 it imposed the national Instant Check on all retail firearm sales. The "assault weapons" law prohibited manufacturing semi-auto, detachable magazine rifles with various things attached and prohibited the manufacture of magazines holding more than 10 rounds.

The 1990s saw the categories of people prohibited from possessing firearms expanded. The Gun Free School Zones Act was passed. It was struck down by the Supreme Court, then re-passed with modified language. The minimum age for possessing a handgun was set at 18. Each state has its own set of laws; California (1989), New Jersey (1990), Maryland, Hawaii and a few other states have passed laws on "assault weapons" or "assault pistols". South Carolina, Minnesota, Illinois and Maryland prohibit handguns made of pot metals. (Source: NRA-ILA) In states like California, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by almost two to one, 26 to 14 in the Senate and 52 to 27 in the Assembly, bad gun laws are the norm, or at the least should be expected.

Today's anti-gun-self defense-Constitution-freedom people like to point out that there are more guns in America than there were a hundred thirty years ago, and they're right. There are also more people in America today than there were a hundred thirty years ago. The percentage of the criminal element has risen, along with the rest of the population, while the percentage of law-abiding townsfolk who are walking around armed has dropped to virtually zero. Try getting a concealed carry permit from L. A. County sheriff Lee Baca. Unless you're a movie-TV star, producer, or some other kind of "somebody," your chances are about as good as a snowball's chance in you-know-where.

There are a few modern examples of gun control that have proven more practical than their historical counterparts. For instance, long time viewers of TV shows like "Cops" might remember two mental midgets who saw an ad in the local newspaper about a swap meet. They got the bright idea that they'd grab their guns, go to the hall where the swap meet was being held, and pull off a stick-up. The meet was being held at a city owned building, which was covered by security cameras. As the camera rotated back and forth, you can see these two simpletons get out of their car, run into the building carrying their guns, and come running back out, minus the guns.

As the camera swung around, the banner over the front doors advertising the meet came into view: "Gun show-swap meet this weekend" or some such thing. I wonder what went through their dumb-as-a-stump minds when they saw table after table of…guns, and people with guns? It'd be kind of interesting to know what the people inside the swap meet thought, too.

Imagine their faces as they yelled, "Stick 'em up!?" Now, this is what I call a prime example of gun control: both those imbeciles got out of the building alive. I have to wonder though, if they took a class in remedial reading while they were in jail after getting caught some time later.

People don't like it when temporary politicians decide that they are going to take away their constitutional rights without due process and the approval of the people for whom the bill of rights was written. It is OUR constitution NOT THEIRS to change. Did you think we were going to simply roll over and play dead while idiots sold us into slavery? I'm not giving my guns up to a tyrant that wants to destroy my country from the inside, and I know of few that see this as permissible. Even if we were willing to give up our guns, we would turn to the black market. How about that war on drugs. More coming in than ever before. They did a great job with prohibition too. What happened there? Mobs with machine guns ruled Chicago. Government is pretty good at this stuff.

I went out and bought a pistol and a bunch of ammo and so did my daughter. The shelves are bare in every gun store in town. Folks are even buying shotguns like ice cream cones on a hot day. And we're going shopping for more this weekend. Father and daughter arms gathering. That truly is an American tradition.

The United States began with a bunch of tyrannical pompous self serving politicians trying to take the guns of Americans. Maybe it will end that way.

Jimmy, when you enlist in the "Peoples Army" and have to fight against your countrymen who love our constitution and the freedom it gives us, will you make sure the tyrants give you a good gun that doesn't jam. You don't want the kind of crap that they give to our servicemen to fight their wars for them.

These patriots who are arming themselves are getting pretty tired of those politicians who were hired to serve and protect our rights rising up against us and stealing the power that belongs to the people. These love their country and will not hand it over for a bowel of porridge as Esau did.

But it is nice to see that you are getting the big picture. That being: Every time the government tries to take over and fix anything it only exacerbates the problem into utter chaos.

You wanted a Marxist who was taking your freedom from you for four years already, and now when he wants the rest of it, didn't you think that would piss freedom loving Americans off? How silly.

But then this is exactly what your tyrants have been trying to get, a divided America with every man gunning for his brother, or haven't you noticed that either?

It is a sad thing that Americans who had no need to be armed are now arming themselves for fear that these demagogy politicians will destroy their country.

If the government can take anything away from you by simple decree, there is nothing the government won’t take. If today it’s the right to bear arms, it’s only because tomorrow it will be freedom of speech, assembly, representation etc. It’s already stomped all over trial by your peers, search with probable cause any sort expectation of privacy whatsoever.

The danger is the fear this government promotes. A free society has huge risks but throwing that freedom away wont cure a single thing. The process of elimination leads to the only eventual “allowable” risks, which is absolutely none. In turn for that perfectly safe utopia people will throw anything they have at the government because this freedom thing is just way to much maintenance. Parents are required to parent their kids, who are in turn are expected to adhere to social guidelines. Whatever, it’s to much work.

Instead lets have both parents work insane hours, so we can have insane amounts of stuff instead. Clearly that is much more tangible then the quality of our social fabric. With these priorities we are turning out really messed up kids, who come out a distant second to that sixth TV. Not to worry as they mull it over day after day of killing countless enemies in Call of Duty, or getting bonus points for head shots in Borderlands. You want to cure any kid of “gore”, take them hunting, have them kill something and force them to eat it. The real consequences of death are noticeably different, then if left only up to the imagination.

If every time these mass school shootings happened, the dumb ass consumer didn’t stare cow eyed fixated at the news network as they drone on over and over and over and over again, the exact details of every imaginable crumb of “news worthy” garbage that can be sold from the death of these people. Only then will this idiocy stop. But some jerkoff is always going to want to poke the corpse into Swiss cheese, so it will be big news well into the future. You got a chip on your shoulder with a point to prove? Step right up! There is a ready made national stage ready for your use. There’s an already adoring public waiting with morbid curiosity for the next one.… Quite literally the news media is advertising the benefits of being some lone lunatic bent on killing innocent people. What law will prevent the glorious last stand of Jesse James? That’s all these crazed jerkoffs are thinking.

It’s one thing to report the news, but now the media has become so entrenched in creating it instead, it doesn’t even bother to look elsewhere if something can be milked for months at a time. Hey there was just another shooting in California go figure. Not as sensational though, so it’s more a secondary story. Not to worry, there is still quite a bit more “entertainment” we can eke out of the Newtown massacre.

If the media had a conscience they would report matter of fact the number of dead and omit in it’s entirety the identity of the shooter. Instead of long probing “specials” about the shooter and attempts towards justification of being wronged to such a degree. Every time someone on that fringe sees that national spotlight focusing on the shooter’s life, it gives them that much more incentive. Life ain’t fair so go out and shoot some people. When someone is thinking like that, no law is going to diminish their craving for sensationalism and our media is more than eager to provide it. To actually “cure” the problem, start by removing the incentive for it to happen.

I wonder. Do the libs know that more murders were committed with Assault hands, assault feet, assault hammers and assault knives and blunt attack assault instruments than with all those so called "Military assault rifles" and shotguns combined? Every year?

And do they know that gun deaths have been declining for years?

Do they know that less than .19% of ONE PERCENT of gun violence or other gun related crimes are committed by legal gun owners?

How about this one. Gun free zones are the place where for gutless assassins go to perform their violent deeds. Almost all crimes are committed in gun free zones. They aren't stupid. They don't want to get shot at, they want to be the only ones shooting.

But never mind the facts. Just listen to the propaganda wing of these tyrants instead of the facts. Then after you get all worked up, try to count the guns flying off the shelves because of their media blitz. Gun owners are the only thing that stand between complete military tyranny and you.

How about this one. Gun laws cause uprisings by people who believe in and love their freedom and their country as it is. Not as tyrants want it to be.

But lets not consider the way people must live under tyrannical governments. Lets just trample the rights of innocent Americans who did not commit ANY CRIMES WHAT SO EVER Instead. Sounds like a brilliant plan to me. The crooks that will break into your house will have multiple 17 round magazines and you can try to defend yourself with 5 bullets.Don't you dumb asses know that criminals don't give a rats-ass about your gun laws. Gun laws only make gun crimes safer for them, not you.

well, that does it!

We should immediately ban all hands, feet, hammers, steak and butter knives, and anything that is blunt.....so libs can "feel" like they've been good tools of the State.
