If you removed guns, violence would increase only the Wolves would be armed while us the sheep would be powerless to do anything about it. Even better firearms in the hands of the citizens keeps the government from turning to a dictator or s European form of government. True free men are armed.<BR/>Interestingly those areas of the world with the strictest forms of gun control also have the highest levels of violence.<BR/><BR/>Steve in ColoradoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938074.post-60068932325254152452009-03-25T18:42:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:42:00.000-04:00No, gun ownership is a privilege.

If it was "plain English" why then has it been argued over for the last 200+ years?<BR/><BR/>Time for the USA to catch up with the rest of the world and start actually addressing the major cause for why their society is so violent - the wide prevalence of guns. Remove the guns and the violence would decrease markedly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938074.post-5079903818711750342009-03-24T08:22:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:22:00.000-04:00Yeah, they're not claiming anything other than, "L...Yeah, they're not claiming anything other than, "Look at all this *dangerous* stuff we seized."<BR/><BR/>As as for gun ownership being a privilege as opposed to a right, you fail.<BR/><BR/>There is ZERO historical evidence that the people who wrote the 2nd Amendment regarded it as anything other than a right. Further, this question was settled last year in "District of Columbia v. Heller" by the Supreme Court of the United States. The court held 9-0 that the 2nd Amendment recognized there was an individual right to keep and bear arms. Where the court split was in the extent of the right and whether the DC's handgun ban violated that right.<BR/><BR/>Gun banners really need to give it up on the "2nd Amendment doesn't really mean what the plain English says it does" crap.Dave Markowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00543441083086479631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938074.post-83409230413551510392009-03-24T02:55:00.000-04:002009-03-24T02:55:00.000-04:00Looks like a typical post-seizure propaganda shot ...Looks like a typical post-seizure propaganda shot saying, "hey look what we seized". They aren't attempting to claim anything other than this is the stuff they seized and we are displaying it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the gun nuts would have to seize the wrong end of the stick and try and claim something that wasn't claimed. I am unsure why gunnuttery is such a terrible delusion but its the perfect image of the anti-gunnuttery that they claim they oppose.<BR/><BR/>Guns are tools. Tools, if dangerous, should be regulated. Get over it. Gun ownership is a privilege.

Gee, why do we never see any pictures of SKS rifles being seized by the Mexican authorities? There have been plenty of those in American gun shops for years, and the media sure likes to call these rifles "assault weapons," even though they technically aren't.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can only dream of the day of when I would be able to go to some flea market or gun show somewhere and see the vendors offering on their tables just a fraction of the military ordnance that I see being seized from these Mexican gangsters all the time now, things like live grenades, .50 M2 Brownings, and M72 LAW rockets, and I don't mean just the empty and expended tubes, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938074.post-54503745801663556582009-03-20T15:29:00.000-04:002009-03-20T15:29:00.000-04:00Just a thought, they COULD be improvised grenades,...Just a thought, they COULD be improvised grenades, much like a pipe bomb.
