Cracks me up to see you always quoting the case law that backs your play. Of course we all know the courts just get it wrong when they don’t.

I am not sure what part of the argument says that people must either be armed with semi-automatic military styled assault weapons or none, but self-defense is a lot like life. You plan, practice and prepare and Murphy still shows up. If someone wants you dead, you will likely end up dead.

I believe every police department has some wall or memorial to those officers who even though armed, could not protect themselves. In the end, we are all on our own. Any way you slice it, more guns for you means more guns for the bad guys. Less control on us means less control on them. Free ranging rights for you means more carnage for society. It just does.

hey Dan,

“since 98.5% of the populace has chosen to not affiliate with the NRA”, seems to me that all you need do is round up your posse and go repeal the 2nd Amendment.

45.Magpul has more than 1,000,000 PMAGs currently on back order. Of which ten will be mine.

I’m sure you will desparate3ly need them to protect yourself from all those violent ad flyers that invade your lawn and driveway threatening the very existence of you and your family.

I don’t get why, if his gun channel is sponsored by FPS Industries of Carnesville, Ga., is it called FPS RUSSIA? What’s the deal with the Russia part, gun video enthusiasts?

The main guy in the videos used a Russian accent. He was actually pretty funny. I loved watching the videos, but it was for him as opposed to the guns.

Here’s just one random one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9c1Vqe3YxE (actually, I found a “best of” video.. enjoy)

Just like Obamacare was never about Healthcare this gun control frenzy is not about gun control; it is a liberal power play.

Actually, ObamaCare provides additional protection for Gun Owners by making gun registration illegal.

It was probably one one of the hundreds of pages you folks didn’t read.

Sandi, you realize that police carry guns, right? Don’t they carry them for their protection?

Comment by Henry — January 10, 2013 @ 3:59 pm

They do. They have no duty to protect anyone but themselves. See Warren v. District of Columbia and DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (both have good Wikipedia pages)

“Freedom” to what, Jack? Shoot anyone who annoys you?

Comment by Kristen — January 10, 2013 @ 3:13 pm

Freedom to exercise Constitutional Rights… you know, freedom of speech, press, keep and bear arms.

I know you like to pick and choose, though. You don’t see the Bill of Rights as a package deal.

@37 Other pro gun groups memberships are growing rapidly as well. Don’t forget to bash them. If you don’t your Obama fan club card will be revoked.
