Gunlickers - are you proud of this?

[SloopJonB]

It's looking more & more as if it hasn't descended into idiocracy, it's flown over the cuckoo's nest.

 

[SloopJonB]

 not the rote material you spew on a daily basis. You have zero ability to discuss or argue,

Unlike the gun nutters eh?

 

[AJ Oliver]

There, I covered your canard. But here is the conversation. A.J. Oliver is a chip off the block of Machiavelli, the true citizen soldier. He went to the wall for his country in spite of personal feelings. The manliest of men, the very profile of hard-earned virtu. Such a community one could build with his selfless elk. The elders of the community must give him the nod, mate.

But now he lives with certain outcomes, and with certain perspective. It's just a place you do not go, IMO.

I welcome any correction from AJO but I could quote him, favorably, all day long.

Well, that is just about the most effusive thing I have seen for a while - thanks, I think. 

Actually, though I was shot at in the Nam, I was almost entirely a REMF, and never claimed to be anything else.  (Around 85% of modern military are REMF's, all the flack jacket stories you hear to the contrary) 

Vets For Peace is filled with folks who saw a really lot of action, and it is not just US vets - we now have chapters in Ireland, the UK, OZ, and elsewhere. We have a range of members from those who deserted to flag level officers. One of the crew on the Golden Rule's just-completed voyage to Hawaii is a former nuke sub commander. What united us is our opposition to war - based on what we have seen.  AJ sez check it out. 

Although I used to have my students read Machiavelli, I was never a fan of his - though he did stand up to some of the thuggish empires of the day. 

I do scribble a bit - I think this one is pretty decent . .  https://otherwords.org/confessions-repentant-war-1812-reenactor/

Meanwhile in Australia, where the nasty government took away all our guns, there were no mass shootings this week. Not one. Not one the whole year so far, come to think of it. Not one so far this century, I think.

The USA spends more on its military than the next 23 countries combined. A "well-regulated militia" of armed citizens is not needed, and hasn't been since the early 1800's.

The Australian experience brings the good news for America's 2nd Amendment fans (or Gunlickers, as Dylan calls them, I like it), that you can live without your guns.

Start by locking them away and not touching them or thinking about them for 48 hours. The anxiety and the feeling of impotence will diminish over time. Eventually you'll be able to go a week without touching that cold blue steel. 

In the next phase, say 2-3 weeks without gun contact, you'll start to accept that your dick size is average, you're not really that tough, you're not that likely to be invaded by armed Ninjas or terrorists, and That It's OK! 

Soon enough you'll dump your guns, trade in your truck for a mid-size Toyota, and stop listening that fucking awful country or metal shit. You'll be a calmer, happier man, and you might even get laid more....

So now you are saying guns are bad, pickups are bad, country music is bad.   Are the people who enjoy those things deplorable?

 

[Rok Dog]

My guess would be retard density in the states is probably about 10x higher than the rest of the world..

i like especially the last bit. so if the firefighter points his gun at the kid, who didnt point his gun at anyone, couldnt the kid have shot the firefighter IN SELF DEFENCE? He had a gun pointed at him, "for no reason", after all. Crazy..?

lol. murica. what a shithole.

America isn’t for just anyone.  Some people can’t hack it here.

 

[SloopJonB]

Mental defectives seem to be thriving there these days.

A very high percentage of them are deplorable, illiterate, hate-filled, racist, dumb, badly tattooed, mullet-wearing fuckwits.

Some are probably good people, just like some Mexicans.

 

[batkinmok]

Yeah especially kids who go to the wrong school on the wrong day. Or sick people who cant afford their insanely expensive treatment. Or black people running into the wrong cop.

Tell me, if you son or daughter or wife was a victim of some random mass shooting, would you just say "Oh well its America, some people cant hack it here"?

 

[Raz'r]

So you think "the people" means "the militia" huh? That's never been the case, but OK.

We've never closed a car registry and prohibited possession of previously-legal cars or you would have seen infringement on car ownership. But guns are more stringently regulated than cars in that regard.

Bullshit Tom. There are lots of cars that aren’t street legal. More regulations on guns? So fucking untrue.

He'd be too busy buying more guns & ammo.

Reading comprehension issues, r'iblet? What Tom said: "We've never closed a car registry and prohibited possession of previously-legal cars"

Please provide a list of cars that are no longer legal to possess. This is not the same as "not street legal"

And there are previously legal cars that are no longer legal.

I own guns. Which are kept under lock and key when not on my person. I believe in stringent background checks and penalties for unsafe storage of your weapons. I grew up in a rural area where a shotgun and rifle in the back window of pickup truck was a regular sight in the high school parking lot. I try to maintain my proficiency with regular visits to the range. I think people posting about a militia requirement would be surprised how concerned the powers that be would get over that little idea being put into practice.

I don't carry a gun because I am afraid. I carry a gun because criminals do. 

What you posted is a clip from a city with some of the most stringent gun controls in the Country. So, why is everybody running? There shouldn't be any guns to be worried about. Perhaps its because they know the illegally armed criminals don't care about the laws and will shoot them anyway. So they have to run.

Finding a way to keep the guns out of the hands of criminals before you come after the law abiding citizens and would be headed closer to the right direction. My guns have never harmed or threatened anybody while in my possession. I sincerely hope they never do.

My story is identical to the selected comments above.

1. My reasonable proposal doesn’t relay on a “claim” of a BCG being passed. The app would record the transaction and the buyer and seller’s details.  That’s the whole point of a BCG, it can’t account for intent. If the drug dealer has no criminal history, he would have been able to buy that shiny gun in a gun store and not rely on the AMERICAN in the parking lot. 

Does the AMERICAN goes to jail if a gun serial number they are recorded as buying shows up at a crime scene without a sale transaction? Are they still legally responsible for the weapon?

To be honest this sounds rather like a comprehensive registry. I'm not sure dogballs will be onboard with this stuff.

 

[frenchie]

As if someone from New York City is in Times Square - hasn't it been for tourists, often foreign, since the reign of Rudy?

Rudy started it, but it was Bloomberg who made it entirely for tourists.

I hope they were empty and had a trigger lock.

Wait what? Sounds pretty contradictory to me. Kinda like you are afraid of criminals with guns... (reasonable)

Ban every kind of gun that is remotely convenient for killing people. Ill bet you even a criminal is gonna think twice about carrying an illegal gun if he'll go to jail for 10 years just for carrying it..

Hmm i dont think legal matters are the strong suit of this crowd, im still waiting on an answer for this one:

so if the firefighter points his gun at the kid, who didnt point his gun at anyone, couldnt the kid have shot the firefighter IN SELF DEFENCE? He had a gun pointed at him, "for no reason", after all.

Oh come on. We went through this. You slinkied away after Patrick J. Charles took your pants down, in front of your gf.

Sir John Knight and his party travelled lawfully with arms, as justices of the peace, for the Duke of XYZ.

This was recently laid out, for you, at your request with superb documentation. Patrick J. Charles had chased it down. 

Sir John Knight was the sheriff, DeadEye.

Deadeye is set, he's focused on a 3% exception. Computerization has revealed that, in the writings in the days of the founding fathers, 97% of the use if the term "bear arms referred to military situations. DeadEye can't see the significance of the 97% use,  because the 3% get in the way. DeadEye got stuck in his own beligerance.

What to do? We will leave DeadEye Dick right there, and ponder other matters...

I'm talking about possession and you're talking about public use. Let's talk about the same thing: prohibited possession.

Bullshit Tom. There are lots of cars that aren’t street legal.

And there are previously legal cars that are no longer legal. Dogballs has been corrected on this before in fact. Which leaves two choices - he's a congenital liar, or he's a fucking moron. Don't worry - both is an option in the poll.

I have never heard of prohibiting possession of a previously-legal car and you are an anonymous clown who can't cite what you claimed happened. It didn't, any more than prohibition of possession of previously-legal cars.
