My GOD!!! They're headed this way
Lisa Price, Exec. Director, North Carolinians Against Gun Violence Education Fund, August10, 2007
The 2007 long session of the NCGA began in late January and ended August 2. The legislature will reconvene for the short session May 13, 2008. Although in general it was a disappointing one for gun violence prevention, there were a few bright spots. This is a very controversial topic in a climate difficult to pass legislation nationally and in many states. With every bill we faced stiff opposition from the gun lobby. Sometimes the most we can do is prevent bad bills from passing. Thanks very much to all who helped to lobby for and against bills.
....the gun lobby encourages the "right" of as many individuals as possible to own
guns and the necessity for individuals to protect themselves. They distrust
government. Those of us concerned with preventinggunviolencewantprotect the right of citizens to be safe from gun violence
government to
caused by guns in the wrong hands....
(Strikethroughs added by me)
The only "common sense" I could find. And I had to take it out of context and omit a phrase....Geez....
Seriously, why limit the violence you are preventing to "gun" violence. Why not all violence? I am personally against knife, club, vehicular, wiffle bat, and weed eater violence as much as I am any other type.
And why depend on the Gummit to do anything? I mean, I know they have done a good job in educa...poverty refo....stopping illegal immi...stopping illegal dru......Hmmm, that's odd, can't seem to come up with anything attempted in the last 50 years by our government that they have excelled in.

I had never heard of him before
I think a Thompson/Cox ticket could be just the thing we are looking for. Fred, if you are reading this..(yeah right, nobody is reading this) Call this man up and see if he will accept a nod for VPOTUS.

BWAAA HAAA HAA HAA HAA HAA HAA
After years of saying that black rifles are the root of all evil.
The so called "Gun Guys" take humbrage at another color.
You can't make this stuff up people.
I wish everyone who I had to poke fun at made it this easy.

Compromise Pt.2
So why then have all of these* been implemented at one time or another?
Why does it seem that so many people restrict their comments to online forums, blogs, ranting in pubs, gripeing on the firing line?
It is time, past time even.
Join NRA, GOA, JPFO, State level firearm owners associations.
Write your Senator, Representative, Governor, Mayor, Police Chief, Sheriff, School board member, and anyone else you vote for. Let them know that if they do not take a strong pro-2A stance, that they will never get another vote from you. If they are directly elected officals (i.e. other than POTUS) remind them of how many elections over the years have been decided by one vote.
And to those of you who compromised. Take this to heart: Every time an anti has offered a compromise and it has been accepted, there has been no "give", all take.
Thus endeth the object lesson of the day.
*I know there has been no *Federal* firearms registry, but there are quite a few at the state level.
These were originally posted on the forums at TheFiringLine. If you've never been there, it's a pretty good place to
