My FB post on guns & civillians...

[xR1pp3Rx]

LMAO!! What a stupid, stupid statement. How many Caltechs have their been with a pick-up? How many Columbines? You are really reaching!!

Had to love this from a news report today:



So the Chief Executive of the NRA wants all mentally ill people on a register? I could care less about Yanks carrying guns but those who defend their "right to bear arms" in this way make me wonder how the sanity quota is shared around in the US. In my view, if there is a register, LaPierre needs to be on it.

^^another libtard speakin up.. u have alot of room to talk when your UK gun vilolence keeps climbing and climbing since you banned em.. you guys are bloody brilliant arent you?

[DeTazMan]

what the fuk is an assault weapon? can you please tell me?

The legal definition is Semi Automatic, Intermediate Caliber, pistol grip, detachable Magazine, and others as defined in the 1994 Ban documentation

[Marius_Ursus]

A redundancy.

[Kraken]

A redundancy.

lol I never even thought of that before. It really is, isn't it?

So if I call my guns all "Defense weapons", it should clear up the political banter of it all?

[DeTazMan]

A redundancy.

Yep

[Marius_Ursus]

It should, yeah. LOL

You could use the technical argument. "It's not a gun. It's a low-yield explosive gas-propelled led ball projector."

I think we should start calling everything that's scary by the term, "Assault [insert object]".

Janet Napolitano will now be known as an "Assault Woman".

Black widows are now "Assault Spiders".

[tmonkey]

I found these stats and found them interesting..

Over twice the number of Handguns as compared to "Assault Weapons"

not to nit pick but it is not quite twice - twice would be 70

[goranothos]

There is absolutely no reason any civilian should have access to an automatic weapon, NONE.

BH, I don't believe you even know what an "automatic weapon" is. An "automatic weapon" was most certainly not used in the recent shootings that have been in the news so much lately.

As for myself and my family, I am going to purchase as many firearms and ammunition as I can afford in 2013, before Obama gets his way and disarms America, and makes it into the same socialist state that is present day Europe.

I consolidate semi-autos and revolvers. that makes 88

I stole this from Misc. R/P.

"I need an assault rifle because I live under the rule of a government who thinks it has the right to take away my assault rifle; a government who dictates who I can marry, what I can eat, drink, and smoke; a government who uses force to take my money away from me, who charges me rent (property tax) to live in my own home: a government who commits acts of war without the consent of the people, who murders it's own citizens witout probable cause or due process; a government who has monopolized the currency with which I can trade my goods and services, then devalued that currency through inflation and taxation; a government which uses the tyranny of democracy rather than the freedom of a republic.

To put it bluntly, I need an assault rifle in the event that I might have to declare my independence from a tyrannical government."

I truly believe the same. It's the entire reason why it was placed in the constitution to begin with, to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government and the right to defend ourselves from other harm as well. I also have the firm belief that most countries wouldn't dream of invading the US because our citizens are armed, and armed well.

Rebecca Peters (George Soros's henchperson) is the one who engineered the gun bans in the UK and Australia. When they tried to do an end run through the UN to do the same here, Mr. Bolton told them to pound sand. Both of those countrys' violent crime rates have gone up. Meanwhile, any State that has gotten a "Shall Issue" pistol permiot has seen crime rates go down. Seems criminals like thier victims unarmed.

My thoughts exactly.

Today's brain hemorrhaging statement:

"Do you think a cop with a revolver stands a chance against someone with a fully automatic weapon capable of firing 100 rounds per minute?!"

Who the fuk came up with that? Cops with revolvers? And full autos only shooting 100 rds per minute?

[Marius_Ursus]

Who the fuk came up with that? Cops with revolvers? And full autos only shooting 100 rds per minute?

Some guy talking to Mayor Giuliani.

Never heard of her.I remember the then Prime Minister,John Howard,as the "engineer" of the gun bans here.

Property taxes fund public schools.

[Brackneyc]

Property taxes fund public schools.

In part, but not fully.

[Kraken]

Property taxes fund public schools.

Schools are funded from three sources, state, local and federal, although federal is something like less than 10%. I think property taxes are a large chunk of it though.

[mslman71]

Property taxes fund public schools.

Property taxes are a local matter and if locals want to tax at 50% or 0.01% to fund their schools then that's their business. I have no problem with it whatsoever.

The feds can shove their dime.

Filmmaker Michael Moore's (search) bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night.


Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.


Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.

Which is why we should get rid of them.

So how do the economically disasvantaged get even a primary school education?

Or don't they?

Nope. Same goes for the women.

So how do the economically disasvantaged get even a primary school education?

Or don't they?

There was much talk of vouchers way back when, and in privately funded testing it was shown to greatly improve the students education. It was a great idea, here is the money we would just give to a public school, you send your child to whichever school you choose. Teachers union didn't much like the idea, thus Democrats didn't much like the idea.

I don't think it's all that strange for a bodyguard to be carrying a firearm.

Is it?

[ReconRon1b847077]

There is absolutely no reason any civilian should have access to an automatic weapon, NONE. Why the f'ck would a mom want to purchase the type of guns this woman had? Why, for what? To hunt? What the f'ck was she planning on hunting 1000 ducks? 100 deers, WHAT? Why would any civilian need a gun that can shoot multiple bullets within seconds? If you want a gun to protect your home, get a revolver or a shotgun/rifle why would you need an AK47 or a glock? Who do you think is going to break into your home, the army? Wake the f'ck up people, there is no need for any person to own any kind of automatic weapon, there is absolutely no reason, NONE, any civilian should own a automatic or semi-automatic gun, none. These guns are made to kill period. I do however understand owning a hand gun (revolver) or shotgun/rifle in your home or place of business for protection. F'ck the second amendment/right to bear arms, the people who wrote it (and the ones who protect/believe in it) are f'cking dumb retarded motherf'ckers that should have THEIR children killed with an automatic weapon, maybe see first hand what that kind of gun does to the head of a child.

That is how I feel, you guys can carry on, on why you believe people should have the right and argue till your face turn blue.

In OPs world semi auto means full auto
