This type of stuff was predicted back in the 1980s. I think it's interesting that they deny it so vehemently. Even people like Al and Tipper Gore flirted with their Democrat version of a moral majority.

Did you find Washington's army reprehensible?

Some overzealous JAG prosecutors stuck it to some military personnel and Trump pardoned them.

Some might disagree whether the government is duly elected. If you haven't noticed, the Democrats have spent the last three years trying to overturn the election while spreading mass propaganda suggesting Trump is a foreign agent. Others think the Democrats are trying to effect a coup, and that Trump is no more a foreign agent than Jerry Nadler is fit to do 50 push ups. Civil wars start as a consequence of such things. Our forefathers all committed treason against the United Kingdom.
Drlee wrote:Oh I get that the founders fought off the British. They did not do it in today's climate of air power and surveillance. More importantly they did not do it with small bands of roving civilians popping British soldiers with squirrel guns as popular songs would have us believe. They did it with "well ordered militias". So when the constitution was created it enshrined these militias in the constitution. The founders did not intend to put the power to unseat them in a guy named Steve with an assault rifle. They intended to put it in the hands of the state militias.
A guy named Steve isn't a militia.

That's what General Gage thought. That's why we have a Second Amendment.

That's because they can't even afford a house of their own.

Exactly. The ship has sailed on gun control, because people can use desktop CNC machines to make what they need.
BigSteve wrote:Let's say I was required to register my sweet new Kimber. If I then decide to shoot someone, how is the fact that the gun is registered going to make the person I choose to shoot safer?
Here's your answer: It won't...
They're thinking about unarmed people trying to procure arms in a fit of passion. That's not all that typical.

We should not force people to buy insurance. People should buy insurance because they want it, not because the state forces them to buy it.
Drlee wrote:We require seat belts and they are saving lives but gun locks?
Yes, and the police can use that to pull people over and cite them, even subjecting them to searches. That happens to minorities a lot, and they really don't like it.
Drlee wrote:When I was a little boy I had gun safety training when I was in cub scouts. That is simply not done anymore in any real numbers. Gun safety is not even discussed at a national level.
So did I. They even had merit badges for that stuff. It's those damn liberals and commies that don't want kids learning about gun safety.

You appear to do that a lot. You seem to be a shame-based person. Have you ever thought about getting some counseling for that?
Drlee wrote:Oh. And by the way. As we are nattering on about gun control.
Watch Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino". Hmong gangs. It could be in your neighborhood, yet worlds apart.
Godstud wrote:I never said that banning all guns was a solution. I said good gun controls and banning specific weapons.
Ok. That's lovely @Godstud. Now, considering this shooting, and @drlee's mention, both shootings happened in California which has strict gun control laws and ban the sale of AR-15s. How would your gun control proposals have stopped either of these two shootings?
What BigSteve is saying is that your proposals wouldn't have stopped either of these two shootings.
drlee wrote:But one that prudent gun control can.
Except for the two shootings mentioned in this thread, both of which happened in California where there are strict gun control regulations.

Right. Which is typically wrapped into gun violence statistics to try to sway people somewhat dishonestly.
Godstud wrote:Gun control laws work to reduce access to firearms, by criminals, of the types that cause the incidents. That's simply a fact you don't like to admit.
They may reduce access to legal firearms. However, in a state like California, with strict gun control laws, we still have the two shootings that have upset @drlee.
