Why gun control is necessary

“Why do you have to talk about his wife?”

“Oh that's right, we're not supposed to talk about each other's families.

Sorry violin. I have no idea what your wife or marriage is like, but I'm sure both are swell.”

“LOL...but no where did it mention if she was "allowed" to carry. I am wondering if she did have mental conditions that would have prevented her from owning a firearm....

Then there is this...she DID misuse the weapon, she WAS arrested, she WILL be charged, and SHE will go to court and be punished. I wonder if we were able to mete out similar punishments to others who continually get a way with crime what would happen?”

Eleven-year-old Martinsburg girl faces gun, assault charges

By The Associated Press

Police say an 11-year-old Martinsburg girl threatened her 7-year-old sister with a gun to force the younger child to play with her.

Martinsburg police say the girl also pointed the .38-caliber pistol at her grandmother. The child surrendered the gun after the grandmother made several demands for it.

The weapon wasn't loaded, but police believe the girl didn't know that. The incident occurred Monday evening at the grandmother's residence.

Police say the two girls argued and the 11-year-old then retrieved the gun from her grandmother's bedroom.

“Democrats?”

“You're just pointing out that 'democrat' is not mentioned , eh?”

“How is this an argument for gun control?”

“Moonbats don't need valid 'arguments'.”

Bloomberg's Undercover Investigation

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the results of a wide-ranging undercover investigation by the City of New York into illegal gun sales. The investigation, which covered seven gun shows in three states, proves on video how easy it is for criminals to buy firearms at gun shows. Amazingly, 35 of 47 gun sellers sold to people who said either they probably could not pass a background check or to apparent straw purchasers.

The New York Times notes Bloomberg, who is running on the Republican line for re-election, is "highlighting an issue dear to Democrats and one that has been a passion of his since he took office: gun control."

Here's the video.

“THIS IS THE BEST WORDED PRO-GUN ARGUMENT THAT I HAVE EVER READ.

And, from a Marine! ! ! !

As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago, IL, Gun Ban, I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.
Interesting take and one you don't hear much... Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter.....
"The Gun Is Civilization"

By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.

In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for an armed mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat - it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.

People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.

People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force, watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier, works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.

The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply would not work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation... And that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act !!

By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)




So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced !!

This is worth printing and sharing with others.......right?

Remember freedom is not free.”

“The world's largest army... America 's hunters! I had never thought about this....

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .

Allow me to restate that number.

Over the last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.

More men under arms than in Iran .

More than in France and Germany combined.

These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters,
All of whom have now returned home.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that
The hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
The point?

America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.
*************************************************
That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought when next we consider gun control”

“Prohibition does not work in any form or fashion. Back getting rid some other prohibitions that will get rid of more crime than all the guns in the world will.

I'm for guns rights even after 68years of never carrying one, because I've never needed one, of course, I don't let fear do my thinking as so many do.”

“'That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed'.


As I said above.

'I don't let fear do my thinking as so many do.'

Time to cut the military budget, hunters got it covered.”

“Pretty cool stats Strat, thnx for sharing. Uncliff, good to see you starting to come around, hehe.

Strat you do realize that eventually our government will need to protect itself from this very "army" you speak of?”

“How many of those hunters actually hit something or didn't shoot a friend or themselves, lol?”

“Rest assured they all hit "something", hehe. Hiya sass.”

“' Uncliff, good to see you starting to come around, hehe.'

I've gone through the libertarian Tea Bagger gig years ago and am back to my old self from my teens. I wasn't there to see Rome go down, but I'll see the first stages of this Lonely Super-Power allowing itself to be eaten by capitalist greed. We should have used the CCCP and Japan as examples of what not to do , but 'KNOW', we 'NO' more than anyone
else, cause we are 'Acceptional Amerikans'..”

All liberal AZ reporters hate Klein because she is an angry loudmouth and unapologetic about being against illegals (which they label as racism, being the good little race baiters that they are). As dumb as Klein acted here (who was quickly and universally chastised by responsible gun owners), I"m inclined to believe the reporter saw a "gotcha" moment and deliberately positioned himself in front of the pistol.

“LOL, at the other side of fable.”

“I"m inclined to believe the reporter saw a "gotcha" moment and deliberately positioned himself in front of the pistol.

yes, I'm certain that's exactly what happened.”

“I'm surprised, what with you being scared of guns and all.”

“for the record, I also own a gun. I just don't feel the need to grab my crotch and flex while waving it around”

“You probably think Palin was given fair treatment by the MSM. What with you being scared of strong conservative women and all...”

“I don't think the media gives anyone fair treatment. That doesn't get ratings or viewers, which means it doesn't get $$$. The difference is, I apply this to every public figure, not just the ones I agree with.

What with you being scared of... aw hell, I guess that doesn't apply”

“It's true the MSM doesn't give anyone fair treatment. They are either crawling all over them licking their boots (Obama) or spitting poison at them like a benzedrine puff adder (Palin).”

“Obama Executive Orders Impose New Gun Rules

Interesting. Get your ATF to sell a bunch of mexican drug lords a bunch of guns...then act like there's a big crisis and impose more regulations on the rest of us to "solve the problem"

Nothing to see here...go back to the Caylee Anthony coverage”
