[Danno 1,228]

This kinda talk makes one a hero.... if the color and party are right.

In the end, the side with the most guns wins. Why do you think the left wants to do away with the Second Amendment so fervently? After all, we know that any policy the left supports would never apply to them.

The 'left' don't want to take away guns so that they can silence the opposition; they want to take away unnecessary guns from general circulation to reduce gun violence. I know that doesn't sound nearly so sensational or controversial as the nuts would have you believe but nonetheless that is more truthful.

As to the guys with the most guns winning, do you want to live in Somalia or something? That's the sort of law and order they have to live with. Doesn't sound very appealing to my way of thinking; I'm rather a fan of the democratic process. Ballot boxes not bombs for me.

oh how little you know......

Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (BCPGV)

In 2001, Handgun Control, Inc. changed its name to Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The organization originated (1974) as the National Council to Control Handguns (NCCH), a group which lobbied for government restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms through support for restrictions on the manufacture, importation, sale, transfer, and civilian possession of handguns. The organization voiced a desire for an eventual handgun ban through gradual steps, but changed its name and espoused goals due to results of a survey. In 1991, then HCI amended its Articles of Incorporation to reflect its support of restrictions on rifles and shotguns as well.

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV)

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), was originally formed in 1975 as the National Coalition to Ban Handguns (NCBH) "for the purposes of banning the importation, manufacture, sale, transfer, ownership and possession of handguns." In 1989, after expanding its efforts to include restrictions on all firearms, the group adopted its new name, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.

The Violence Policy Center (VPC)

VPC is a non-profit national "educational" foundation that proposes firearms restrictions, including total handgun prohibition, as measures to reduce violence in America.

CeaseFire, Inc.

CeaseFire, Inc. was formed in 1995 with a stated mission to "reshape the gun violence debate in America." Infused with money from Courtney Love, the widow of rock star Curt Cobain, who committed suicide, the organization signed on the numerous high- profile celebrities and business people listed below to their advisory panel. CeaseFire runs TV Public Service Announcements with celebrities and runs print advertising in major newspapers and magazines with the message that guns are dangerous and gun ownership is a threat to family and friends. Their stated goal is to promote "handgun-free homes and families" by claiming that gun ownership is a public health threat.

(note that it's ironic that curt cobain killed himself with a shotgun, not a pistol, yet the money from courtney love is used to try to ban pistols)

Handgun-Free America, Inc.

Handgun-Free America (HFA) is a national, membership-based non-profit organization dedicated to building up strong support for the initiative to ban private handgun ownership in the United States.

The Joyce Foundation

The Joyce Foundation is one of the leading sources of funding for anti-gun groups and individuals. Anti-gun academics receive grants to complete studies that invariably find a link between gun ownership and crime.

I think the "left" gun control ideas for the first time in my life all begin to make sense since the tea party emerged;

''I hope that's not where we're going, but you know if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.''

Dems are going to lose!

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

GASP!!!!

Hint: The second amendment is not there to protect duck hunting dumb@ss! It is there to assure that we will always have the means to overthrow the government by force.

[scandal 951]

Interesting how the wingnuts want to be elected to the very institution that they'd like to see violently overthrown.

No one ever said that logic or common sense had to apply. They are wingnuts, after all.

And after next week, they will control congress. Both houses.

Harry Reid already looks and acts like a zombie so it would be like Night of the Undead Senator. When the next civil war takes place in Vegas it will be led by unemployed Elvis impersonators.

Repubs wanting to over throw the govt. Big surprise there... I always said the biggest un American hypocrites in this country were the Repubs.

And after November 2, they will control both houses of congress!

Not that I am a Repub, oh heavens NO, It is really better to see incumbents get kicked out and since most of the incumbents are Dems...

Just amazes me that this is news to anyone. In a FREE country the ability to overthrow the government by force is ALWAYS "on the table" We will lose our freedom ONLY when that is taken OFF the table. It is ludicrous to suggest, in a country founded on the forcible overthrow of an oppressive government, that saying it is a possibility is un-patriotic.

[Peikko 1,575]

Thus conclusively proving that you have little to no understanding of your own history Gary. Your forefathers wanted the ability to self govern and threw off imperial shackles; they didn't kill their own FAIRLY ELECTED president or FAIRLY ELECTED representatives. They then produced a constitution that allowed for a democratically elected American government and as long as the democratic process continues they certainly did not envisage having a democratically elected government overthrown violently by a small but lout disgruntled bunch of citizens ANARCHISTS. The ability to overthrow a government is reserved for the eventuality that a government might seek to remove the franchise - not for doing the things they promised to do when elected. Once you go down that route Gary, you cease to have any form of stability and a government based on the will of the people, and end up with fascism. Are you seriously saying that that is what you want to see happen in this particular circumstance?

I know that the arms manufacturing business is driven by lies, but this is one of the silliest; to believe that you need to own a hand gun to preserve the democratic process Priceless really.

Yes, because only when you leave the violent overthrow of a government that is the result of free elections by an unelected mob on the table will the freedom of the people be guaranteed. That's the most ludicrous suggestion ever!
