So the question to me would be who or what is more dangerous, the pen or the sword?

Who can do more damage? A person with the pen who is misinformed or worse blatantly misinforms the public?

Or a person who with the sword becomes crazed takes innocent lives and either commits suicide or dies by someone else's sword?

So, people who misinform others about firearms so much that some forms of the firearm get banned have no blame placed on them for their misinformation?

The person who owns that type of firearm has not done anything to the antigunners. If that was so as the photo says the antigunner would be dead, their freedom to speak gone due to their death by the firearm owner.

What you suggest is not true. What you have done is misinform. Your pen is indeed worse then the firearm. By numbers alone you are worse then the firearm owner.

Correctly informed...

When only cops have guns, it's called a "police state".

The ATF and FBI killed more children at Waco then were killed at Sandy Hook.

Where was the outrage then?

The world's largest army...

America's hunters! Deer license sales in just a handful of states.

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin. Allow me to restate that number:600,000. Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. More men under arms than in Iran. More than France and Germany combined. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.


That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the wood of Pennsylvania and Michigan's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It's millions more.

The point?

America will forever be safe
from foreign invasion with that
kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting...
it's not just a way to fill the freezer.

It's a matter of national
security.

***************************************
That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought, when next we consider gun control.

Overall it's true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters
don't possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain...
What army of 2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens?

This ID dude is seriously thinking that guys in the woods with guns are an army.

What good will a deer rifle do against heat-seeking, laser and satellite guided armed drones?
Does ID really think by squatting in a cave in the woods with that rifle, he will stave off the US army or a foreign invasion of troops using the latest military technology?

Pull your head out of your arse man! Do rightists ever think anything through to it's conclusion?

Al Queda is doing it right now in Afghanistan.


Really? They've stopped an invasion of their country?

They didn't have to. They just waged guerrilla warfare and won. The oldest tacitic in the world.

Yes, they won. And we fell for it just like the USSR did.

When you place your head between your cheeks like that you should really think about the pain of removing it first.

So you are suggesting that thousands of people around the country, are geared up to use arms to overthrow the government?


I quoted our first President. What part of that do you need help with? It's self-government and self-rule. Not what we have now. It is the difference between democracy and republic.

It was wrong then and still wrong now. Proxy war.

It did however work out well for us in 1776 when the French helped us out. (smile)

Yep, those 'good old yanks' will arm us & we'll horde those weapons for a year or 2 when they'll come attack us.....

Iraq (financing & arming the Shah's forces)
Afghanistan (financing & arming the taliban}

How many others?

You should'nt be worried about hording weapons but worried about where your taxes are really going to.

I am, it adds needlessly to debt. An example between ethics and morals. A lack of virtue.

I will, because they will be issuing you a gun once owned by ID.
