There is no state any where in the US that I know that allows you to hunt with a 30 round magazine.

Well Soft seemed to think so. But can you see why those outside the USA are possibly getting the wrong end of the stick. The truth is that the USA does have a gun culture, and we in the UK do not. Therefore, we will have different viewpoints.



I used to own a Ruger 10/22, quite common at the time. 10 round circular clip.
After market quite legal at the time were 25 round clips. Not only did the rifle take less than 3 seconds to change clips, but the 25 round clips were set up to clip two together. So simply inverting it allowed the second 25 rounds.
All quite legal at the time.

I had fun plinking RC-cola cans with it(one of the last to go to aluminum cans) with hollow point bullets that completely blew out the back side of the cans. But there was really nothing very sane about having that kind of weaponry available, let alone the larger cousins that were widely available at the time.

Uzi's, Thompson's, were openly available(easily modified to full auto) as well as not quite so legal Russian made AK-47's. All were designed to slaughter large numbers of people. None of which is needed to defend yourself.



Oh, we are going to talk sane? LOL!

Can you modified to full auto one of these weapons?

Oh, yes they are to defend yourself. What part of governments are you NOT getting? I have given you a lot of quotes, have you ignored them? If so plase go back and read them, THAT is MY RIGHT and DUTY as a citizen to protect my Country as well as my family and I can't do that with a spoon! WAKE UP!

Put the spoon down and back away from it. It is a danger to you!

Well, I don't have much time for "BHL's", but fortunately in this case, they don't come into the picture.

My view is that "No civilian should own weapons" - You want to handle & use them, join your country's armed forces!

Please enjoy being a slave. Already pointed out Hitler to ya. Please enjoy the next one in line---and there will be a next one, just of Islam this time around. Hell no, we wont be helping ya this time....

....just sayin.


The next time a tragic incident occurs with children, all those in the State that hold high powered weaponary, should be made to view the scene & the bodies of the children.

At the same time, Psychologists should be on the scene watching them - If any should show no emotional feelings, they should have their card marked & their license to hold said weaponary removed for the remainder of their life....

.... as we will unfortunately see, it will occur again!



Put the BOTTLE down and please back away from it. It is a danger to you and your health, you have no right to it and it will be taken from you. You are over weight and we will be takin all your spoons too. If we come back and you have not lost 30 pounds we will be lockin you up till you do. We will let you og, but if you put the weight BACK on you will be locked up for life. It's for your own good, like it or not.

...just sayin! Learn to live with our control, or don't live. Your choice, but it isn't really your choice because we have control over YOUR life.

This is one of those rare occasions when I agree with Sirius.
Sadly there will be a next time, and sadly I doubt that the USofA will learn that gun control, not abolition, is essential. Control of such weapons does not make people slaves, indeed I would go so far as to say that many Americans are slaves to guns, and are afraid of the freedom that not having guns freely available brings.

Put down the cigs! Please back away from the ashtray. You will stop smoking! We will place you in a rubber-room for 90 days, like it or not! Smoking is bad for your health and you have become a burden to the state and it's health care system. This will not be tolerated! If you start back up or buy it on the black market we will place you in jail for life, like it or not! IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

I.D, think you need an early Xmas & New year vacation.

A Xmas thought for you: -

Your views had one of those slain children been yours?

Would you have become a modern day "John Brown"?

Would you have become an Adam Lanza & seek your revenge on anybody in sight?

If yes to 2 & 3, think you need to spend Xmas in the company of men in white coats!

Quite honestly that would result in an overwhelming gov't response. Check out your local Therapists office and you'll understand that you can't possibly watch everyone.

BTW I actually am fairly antisocial and am very uncomfortable in crowds or being around people even when I know the people. Would I be restricted?


I guess by your definition I am antisocial too as I too hate being in crowds. I also understand that not everyone can be watched and even then watched by whom? This is why I wonder that the use of profiling is so politically incorrect to the point of being banned.

But did this young man even fit in a profile that would have predicted his ultimate behavior?

Finally I don't think that removing one means of inflicting death would deter the most determined of mass murderers from his/her deed.

It is probably impossible to regulate/control society to the point where such events cease to occur which means we have to do a better job with the techniques available to limit their frequency.

Thinking on your own is NOT allowed! The state will do your thinking for you. Just watch the T.V. reports for what you are allowed to think.

A Xmas thought for you: -


The word is CHRISTmas.

Your views had one of those slain children been yours?


They did not need to be mine for me to cry big crocodile tears. I dropped to my knees and prayed to God for all the children and the teachers. AS WELL AS FOR THE SHOOTER, because someone let that young man down.

Would you have become a modern day "John Brown"?


Disjointed thinking on your part. Illogical. Has nothing to do with this thread.

Would you have become an Adam Lanza & seek your revenge on anybody in sight?


Illogical.

If yes to 2 & 3, think you need to spend Xmas in the company of men in white coats!


The Party and its totalitarian ideology is all you need to think about. You will not think thoughts that are not along Party lines. If you do think for yourself you are guilty of Thoughtcrimes and will see Miniluv stright away. Big Brother cares for you. Newspeak will tell you what to think! DO NOT turn it off!

Good day to you sir...I SAY GOOD DAY!

ID, empty prayers with no thoughts on how to reduce the incidence or severity of these horrific events. Very constructive.

I don't think it's about more gun control. I grew up in the south with gun's everywhere and we never shot anyone. This (shooting) is about people who aren't taught the value of life.
~Samuel L. Jackson


I CAN'T WAIT FOR ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD ACTOR TO LECTURE ME ON THE REASONS WHEN ...

(Note: supposed similar Morgan Freeman statement debunked.)

Samuel L. Jackson is as much a spokesman on this as Ted Danson was on race relations.

Or Danson on the environment, lol.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2007/11/13/danson_i_lied_oceans_didn_t_die2

RUSH ARCHIVE: They're always making me justify my existence. I wish they'd do that to Hollywood celebrities who claim to be oceanographers and so forth. "Mr. Danson, Mr. Danson, what do you mean we've only got ten years left on earth unless we do -- what's -- what's -- what's your source?" They never do. They just -- whatever Ted Danson or Whoopi Goldberg, any of these other Hollywood celebs say, they just accept it as gospel. When I say it, "Prove it! Where did you get that information? You have no right to say that. You're just a racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe pig."

RUSH: That's how the media reacts to me, "You can't say that, prove it!" Ted Danson makes these claims, "Oh, oh, he cares so much." Well, last Friday on CNBC's High Net Worth, the reporterette Jane Wells interviewed Ted Danson, and she said, "There was a time when you said the oceans are going to be dead in ten years. They're not dead?"

DANSON: No. They're not. But, I'm sure there was some hyperbole in what I said to draw attention to the issue, but you go to science journals now, 70% of the world's fisheries are at a point of collapse.

RUSH: Really? Oh, you lied, it was just hyperbole. So now after being proven to have lied, but, but, but 70% of the ocean's fisheries or the world's fisheries or whatever are at a point of collapse, 70%. So he's been proven wrong, throws another figure out there, wow, we're in trouble, oh, no, 70% of the world's fisheries are closed. So Jane Wells then said -- well, the answer she reported after -- "Danson says some people have wondered, why listen to an actor? They make fun of celebrities taking up causes. He gets that."

DANSON: Celebrities can be silly, we can take swipes at them, and what the heck, why not, we are silly. But we do raise money. You know something, this community raises more money for charity than any other community in the world. This community is so generous.

WELLS: He says over the years he's probably given $3 million of his own money to the Oceans Campaign, and just last week he flew to Geneva to urge the World Trade Organization to lift subsidies which may result in overfishing.

DANSON: I do want to be engaged in the process. I do not want to be victimized, or embarrassed, or guilty that I haven't done something during this really critical time.

RUSH: So, once again, after being proved wrong about the death of the oceans, he remains an expert, he remains a go-to guy. Why? Because he donates so much to charity to the oceans. He threw $3 million down the drain if he donated it to an ocean charity. The idea we can control the oceans is about as absurd as being able to control the climate! Anyway, I just think that just illustrates the point. Celebs are silly, he admits all this, and yet we know that you people are going to take us seriously because we're like the big clique in high school, and you all wish you were in our group.

END TRANSCRIPT


Let's also consider some other things Samuel L. Jackson recently said. Warning! Extreme Language (Profanity).

Some may think the idea of personal self defense against a killer government is an extreme idea.

Any individual who works to render its citizens defensless is personally to blame.

The founders fully expected its citizens to rise up against the government if it ever got out of control.

Any American who has an interest in the future of a free nation, of a safe nation, prosperous nation, should have an interest in how to preserve it -- and the key is to never give anyone more power than the people.

The individual ultimately has the duty and the right to self defense, not the government.

The pain of suffering the plight of an evil dictatorship, the genocide, the mass murder is quickly forgotten because it is so painful. It's human nature to forget painful memories--the more painful, the more quickly it's forgotten. It's human nature to remember the good.

Failing to understand how dictators come to power is not only your problem, you make it my problem also.

One more thing.

If you want to speak to criminals, you have to talk to criminals in a language they understand.

So let me get this straight. ID wants his guns so he can machine gun deer.
You want yours because you think it will protect you against your government.

Would that be the same government that is the number one military power in the world? Good luck with that. I'm sure that will be great against all those drones, AC130 gun ships, AH6 Apache Helicopters, tow missiles, F-22 fighter jets...

You should just stick to machine gunning deer. Its more realistic.
