to all you guys talking about interpreting the constitution:
it was written 242 years ago. guns were not readily available and mass-marketed and there were no laws regulating their use. just like drugs, as soon as there is a law, regulation or prohibition on something, almost everyone will see it as something they want.
and in terms of what you want to interpret, the constitution states that the government will create a militia to protect the country, including an army and navy. but no where in it does it mention an air force, but we went ahead and created it, right? but then you have literalists/conservatives that want to ban gay marriage because "the constitution states that marriage is between a man and a woman." so if you were to be a literalist, would you be against the air force? or if you were someone to interpret the constitution loosely, would you allow gay marriage?
so whatever you want to think, go ahead and think, but when it comes down to the written word of a group of men over 200 years ago, you can either take it literally or metaphorically. either way, both ways to look at it affect us equally today.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated..
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated..
---- ------------- -------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated..
------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

Because even though most assaults with a firearm happen at contact distance the attacker still manages to miss completely or only cause scant injuries. I've seen far more superficial gunshot wounds than fatal ones.
Knife wounds on the other hand are nasty, damaging and often take longer to heal. While a gun takes at least some small degree of training in order to be accurate any human with a knife can and will ruin your day.
If you get in a gun fight you MIGHT get shot, but get in a knife fight and you WILL get cut.Last edited by decadecadeca; 08-05-09, 11:07 PM.

To: Newbie Chris
From: Kayak Jones
Subject: The Opposition
A quote from Newbie Chris: "Blah, blah, blah, more rhetoric and name calling. Nothing of substance to support what you believe. Thats fine, but don't come crying to me when you lose your right to carry a weapon altogether because of your childish attitude towards the opposition
I'm done...grow up...really."
Son, as near as I can tell you ARE the opposition.
Why I Carry a Gun
My old grandpa said to me son,' there comes a time in every man's life
when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's
when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin'.
I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the
world.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating
myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and
not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a
cowboy.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the
ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am
inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful
to me.
Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the
crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to
take an ass whoopin'.

I so agree with this althought I have never been in a fire fight. I have been shot at. I turned and ran my ass off. I had no gun, If I did I am sure I would of just shot as I was running,lol. I was scared shitless.Originally posted by bigscott View Posti am sure your cousin when he first encountered someone firing at him - he did the same but learned overtime that its best to wait to see who or whats shooting and what direction - you say its not hard to do that hmmm guess you have been shot at ?
ohhh and your point about them being professional military doesnt mean shit !! all the training in the fucking world is just that TRAINING - no amount can prepare you for when its real -- i dont give a fuck who you are !! if shot at your first instinct will be to fire back !! i know someone with alot of confirmed kills in iraq - when he got in his first fire fight it was just fire back -- said he learned to calm himself enough after a bit to pick his targets -- no amount of training can prepare you or i or anyone else for that - its learned under fire -
you fucking kill me bro -- your fatass doesnt have the balls to take a bench that was yours back but come on the computer and they grow massive -
i own and have the right to own guns and will not let some fattass such as yourself sitting comfy on your fat fucking couch take that right away - your the problem not the solution with whats fucking wrong with this country -
you love to sit your fat ass back and cast judgement on everyone else -- i cant fucking stand people like you -- washington is full of them
I am a very good shot at the range shooting at paper but I am sure in a real fight I would do the same just shoot. the more you see it the more relaxed you get. I understand that completly from fighting in the cage.
