Title: So more or less, our government wants everyone armed but YOU.

Our gov. has become the black market arms dealer to the whole world (even against the wishes of our masters), yet they keep talking about needing more regulations and bans on weapons for their own citizens...   :(

    If we can legislate for car-seats for children, we can legislate to keep highly dangerous killing instruments out of public hands.

    “Highly dangerous killing instruments”: language matters: let us no longer use the word “gun” but that phrase “highly dangerous killing instrument”, and perhaps perceptions will change. No doubt weapons manufacturers and lobbyists everywhere would regard with equal outrage the idea of severely limiting the number of highly dangerous killing instruments in public circulation, their existence being permitted only under official lock and key. What would these lobbyists argue in opposition? That highly dangerous killing instruments are for sport, for hunting (this last will not wash: killing things for sport? That is itself disgusting), for the fun of loud noises?

Americans with views not too far removed from those of Anders Behring Breivik say that they “need” their guns to “defend their freedoms”, meaning against the tyranny of government and federal taxes. They should be reminded that it is the ballot, not the bullet, that is meant to do that job for them.

The UN Treaty on Small Arms, is just one more (of many) attempts....Guess how close we (Americans) are,.....

I heartbeat away on the SCOTUS.....That's how close.

I don't know about you, but if they try to enforce that crap around here there will be, shall we say, "A great wailing, and gnashing of teeth".
Also, a lot of "Upward mobility" in what ever agency makes the attempt.

Oh come now Tom, we created this republic with a ballot not the bullet. Slavery was abolished by a simple vote and we all remember how Hitler was impeached. Right? Right? Anybody...... ::)

Dude, EVERYBODY knows it was all just a conspiracy.  Hitler retired in a beautiful lakeside cabin in the Scottish Highlands and makes a comfortable living selling pictures to american tourists.
