Assault Weapons Ban, It's Back

[bleachit]

the first amendment, to my knowledge, covers NO weapons at all. Unless you consider the media's ability to change the mind of the masses a weapon...

I must say that I feel totally normal around you guys. Can't say that for other websites.

My - NJ Legal for now - stash (I hope I piss off a Dem with this - lol)



HLD...

Doesn't everyone know the SECOND amendment only covers muzzle loading weapons since that's all they had back then? Unless you live in NJ, then you can't even have those without a permit.

I tell ya what. If the Criminals and Militant extremest will confine themselves to Sticks and Rocks I will too.... but until that time... I am armed to the teeth!

Yah.

I'm not even sure that getting it in writing would help much.

Ready for soda cans and varmints!

Oh teh noes! It's an assault weapon!

Now it's a sniper rifle you must be planning to assassinate somebody. We need to ban sniper rifles and put people like you in jail!

Caution: some bad language in it.

Yup, gotta love Penn & Teller.

When that show first came out (the series not that one in particular), I assumed they'd be a couple of Micheal Moore knockoffs. Boy was I wrong. I've watched nearly all of them now, and I can't say I've seen one yet where I was left with the taste of propaganda in my mouth.

They don't always fall on the same side of the issue that I do, but they certainly do present themselves in a concise and logical manner, while using swear words in exactly the same way I would have.

It's refreshing to see free thought come out of Hollywood from time to time, it happens seldom enough to be a rare thing indeed.

Great show! However, the American people have long since been deprived of the firepower necessary to provide resistance against an all out U.S. Military assault. We're going to have to rely on the military's committment to the defend the Constitution from here on in. The tyranny we face today comes from certain lawmakers, courts and elements in the Media. They've started the onslaught with anti-gun laws, court rulings which favor the "victims", and tons of mis-information as part of their much larger agenda for radical social change. We face an enemy that we are forbbiden to take arms against. We need the Penn and Tellers of this nation to speak up and shoot back.

Look at Iraq and what just a few insurgents can do to the US military. If millions of people in the United States took up arms you would be surprised what they could do. Especially if part of the military sided with them and they procured planes, missiles, etc.

Maybe. I don't know. Who would supply us with the real problematic stuff like hand held SAMs, RPG's and heavier automatic weapons that are coming into Iraq from outside sources? Canada? In terms of the 2nd Amendment guarantees expressed in the Penn and Teller show, I think an armed uprising by "the people" is impractical. At the rate we're going, our freedom to bear arms will continue erode before it gets to that point.

Many of the "assault rifles" they're trying to ban now are better weapons then the Iraqis have. Heavier automatic weapons are in the hands of citizens, you can get a license and buy them, and their are thousands people own illegally. I bet we would all be surprised what would come out of the woodwork. Heavier weapons, missiles, even tanks and planes could come from defecting military or be captured.
Planes, tanks, etc loose a lose a lot of their superiority in an urban warfare environment especially when fighting in your own cities.

The second amendment has nothing to do with sport shooting, its so we have the power to overthrow a corrupt government. That's why the democrats hate guns. They don't want individuals to have power over their government. They want the government to have power over its citizens.
