Just wondering Kwick.....

Would you feel comfortable if the only people who owned guns were the people who rule us?

I'm just asking because I'm wondering what the German Jews in the early 40's would say about that idea...

They would probably say whatever they were told to say...by the 1940s they were not so concerned with political dialogue or dissent. Instead they had more pressing concerns like...food and hoping there would be water in the showers instead of something far worse.

In other words in was too late to speak up, the time for speaking out was past...the early 1940s were about keeping their heads down and hoping the shadow of death would pass them by.

Wow...a conversation about Jews that PN didn't start! I suppose he might say that the Jews who stayed in Germany after Kristallnacht in 1938 were too stupid to live anyhow. But really, with the passing of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, their fate was permanently sealed.

Guns aren't the problem. The assault gun ban from the 90's resulted in exactly no real decrease in gun related deaths.


* Handguns were used in some 6,000 murders

What do you see on the news, over and over, as being the #`1 menace to our society. Handguns?

No. Assault rifles. " Mean looking " rifles, which Diane Feinstein says we don't NEED, only account for less than 400 murders. ( probably even less, because they're lumped in with 'rifles' , where as shot guns were another category, also less than 400.

That's more than double the number of people killed on 9/11. Terrorism isn't a problem either, I take it.

Quote:

Washington—The following is the prepared statement from Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) from today’s Judiciary Committee hearing on the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 (S. 150):

On December 14th, 20 sets of parents received a call no parent ever wants to receive: that they would never see their son or daughter again. Earlier that day, a deranged killer wielding an assault weapon and armed with high-capacity ammunition magazines shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and unleashed a rapid hail of bullets, killing 20 young children – mostly 6-year-olds -- and six brave administrators in just the handful of minutes that it took for law enforcement to respond to the scene. That horrific event shocked our nation, and the pictures of these little victims brought tears to the eyes of millions of Americans.

We are holding today’s hearing because the massacre in Newtown was, sadly, not an anomaly. From the 1966 shooting rampage at the University of Texas, to the Newtown massacre, we have witnessed an increasing number of these mass killings. Since 1982, there have been at least 62 mass shootings across the United States. And they have been accelerating in recent years: 25 of these shootings have occurred since 2006, and seven took place in 2012.

The one common thread running through these mass shootings in recent years— from Aurora, Colorado, to Tucson, Arizona, to Blacksburg, Virginia — is that the gunman used a military-style, semiautomatic assault weapon or large-capacity ammunition magazine to commit the unspeakable horror.

It's not personal. It's just war.



The Left are instilling fear that guns are the issue here, when they aren't. Assault rifle bans and limiits on clip sizes will accomplish absolutely nothing. Far more people die via automobiles, but you don't hear anywhere near the rhetoric on " if it just saves 1 more life, how can we not act! " on banning certain types of cars, or forcing the auto makers to put restrictor plates in their engines to make it impossible for cars to go faster than say 70 mph.

The belief that govt, by boldly acting, can some how solve ALL problems by enacting massive, broad sweeping controls on our freedoms is a mind set which the Left absolutely adores. And it ignores the fact that such authoritarian actions are rarely, if ever, effective in dealing w/ the stated problem.

See AGW, the war on poverty, etc...

But those guns you're selling might end up being used in a crime. How could you be so un-caring? Better, from your new point of view, to turn them into the police and have them melted down.

Look up what I said about you not making any sense. It still applies.

Not sure what "faer-mongers" do (do they try to get people behind the causes of faeries, perhaps?), but I think you have me mistaken for someone else. Or you are living in some fantasy world where everything is pure black and white, and anyone who isn't pro-guns-for-everyone is "anti-gun".

I'm moving some guns for purely financial reasons. I bought them when prices were low, with the intention of selling them when prices were high. As with most financial decisions, there was some risk involved, but I had a pretty good idea where things were headed with regards to gun prices, because people like Wayne LaPierre have been selling fear and using it to push gun prices higher for years. The MAK-90 I paid $400 for five years ago is going for $1600 now, which makes it a better investment than the stock market or real estate.

I should apologize to gun owners, because, as I understand it, the majority of registered gun owning NRA members are for gun safety and gun control. It's the NRA leadership that are refusing to accept gun safety measures.

I am deeply sorry for saying "nut jobs," that was completely unfair.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
