Come on marvel, drug use is the new slavery. Drug use is a choice that carries multiple consequences.

 

And it is a poor excuse to throw someone in jail for years. You wonder why they black community is doing so poor in areas? Laws like this. Government intervention has destroyed the black family. Black males are often the target and are the ones in jail. What is that sterotype about black kids and fathers? Why is that? Study: Whites More Likely to Abuse Drugs Than Blacks | TIME.com

 

 

You are correct, its an individual choice, its their body, and that the individual must take responsiblity for. If it doesn't infringe on another perosn's life, liberty or property, the law has no justification. Simple as that.

IF RedDawn breaks out, PP92 and Randy can make their way to my house. I live in a militarily advantageous spot on a mountain and am heavily armed. No ridiculous clips. Just lots and lots of ammo.

 

Can I come? I'll bring a few guns, a truck, and some ammo I've stored! :lol:

Not only drug laws, but gun control as well. You cannot defend this. It is the same thing as making sure black people in urban areas cannot defend themselves, much like the government made sure free slaves couldn't protect themselves agaisnt the KKK.

 

Who Goes to Prison Due to Gun Control? | The Beacon

 

Perhaps the most telling data concerns the racial makeup of who goes to prison for gun violations. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, for Fiscal Year 2011, 49.6% of those sentenced to federal incarceration with a primary offense of firearms violations were black, 20.6% were Hispanic, and only 27.5% were white.

 

This is how gun laws actually work—those caught violating them go to prison. For the mere act of owning an illegal weapon—not necessarily for using it, not for threatening anyone with it, not for being irresponsible with it—people who have harmed no one are locked up in prison for years at a time. As with the rest of the criminal justice system, particularly the war on drugs, these laws disproportionately harm the poor and minorities. That is the inescapable reality of gun control.

By all means. I'll have Wolverines painted on the side of my shed.

What business is it of yours why he has those guns? You have a problem with collectors?

 

So...because "it won't happen in Danville" it won't happen any place else?

 

Simply put, you don't sound all that supportive of the 2nd and you, rockmom or any of the others in opposition haven't told me how criminals are going to be limited. The problem with EVERYTHING being proposed is it's ONLY going to affect the law abiding. How do these so called solutions keep schools or my home safe?

 

If he wants to show off his guns that's on him. I didn't ask to see them. I don't care that he has them. He said let me show you my guns. Forgive me for questioning why anyone would need that big of a gun. I question EVERYTHING in life and always will. Just the way it is.

 

Criminals will never be limited. If the 2nd Amendment stated it was in place to protect you from criminals then I'd understand. That's not in the literature.

 

The problem isn't the guns it's the people with the guns. I don't trust people I don't know with guns. Criminals or law abiding. I really don't care if I don't sound supportive of the 2nd Amendment. If nothing changes then I'm cool with that. If restrictions are put in place I am cool with that too. If that is me not supporting the 2nd Amendment then so be it.

 

Wasn't there an Amendment saying blacks were 3/5 of a person? Why is that one okay to change when the times dictate it but it's not okay to change others when the times may dictate it? I'm still having a hard time believing interpretation of the law in 1776 means the same in 2013.

I love the fact that I understand why gun control is being pushed through means I am for gun control. Uh...no. I get why they are doing it. I don't agree with some of the things they want to push through. I will comply with the law.

You're either with 'em or against 'em. There's no compromise. :lol:

I saw your picture. You're like me, 5/3 of a person.

The difference is the change regarding 3/5ths is its omitting a part of the man-made (government) law and restoring natural law. This is an example of unjust law and insinuates government grants us our rights, rather than we are born with them. This is more freedom. When you are saying restrict firearms, you are restricting freedom.

I hear you. I guess for me the whole gun control thing comes off to me as the government being fed up with mass shootings and having no logical or true solution to stop it and knee-jerking their reaction and going after guns. I don't feel like 'restricting freedom' is their intent even though in essence that is what they are doing. And I think they are going about it the wrong way as well. I'd rather see them properly research all guns so law abiding citizens aren't the victims but I will still question why anyone needs an AK-47 or any big gun. Collector or not. I know a guy who is a collector and he very very rarely shoots any of his guns.

 

I do have a ton of friends and family like Spin so when Red Dawn comes I'll be good and my wife will have her gun soon so when the 3 ninjas attack we'll be safe.

Then what is the point of having cops if we can arm ourselves better than the local police department? Why not just take care of ourselves and our families?

 

Isn't that essentially what the Sherriff from KY said that was in the news recently? That in some instances it could take his deputies 20-25 minute from them to respond to a call and that he didn't feel it was right for the government to take away their guns which would make them more vulnerable especially if criminals knew those folks were obeying a gun ban and would be unarmed.

Realistically though, I feel like most people with guns will keep their guns whether it is against the law or not. My brother in law paid a pretty penny for his AK. It ain't going nowhere.

 

I think people are giving criminals way too much credit myself. If I needed a gun I guarantee I could get one illegally or legally without issue. I suspect many people who are law abiding citizens who love guns way more than I do can do the same.

I agree. It was changed through a three fourths majority. Gun control advocates are attempting to bypass that process. Therefore it isn't legal.

Maybe when he does he shows girls in high heels and bikinis how to shoot them....:lol:

How can a gun that you can shoot in high heels be 'powerful'. Really, these are not the most 'powerful' guns available. Hunting rifles have as much range (rarely an issue or concern) and much more 'knock down' power with bigger projectiles. Hence why these guns are rarely used as sniper rifles. They are really good 'general purpose' guns. That is why the military uses them and why they are useful in general.
