Oklahoma gun control.

Hey Federal employee's, go fuck yourselves!

Quote:
Among the more far-reaching proposals is a bill by freshman Republican Sen. Nathan Dahm that says the federal government has no authority to regulate firearms. It calls for prison time for any federal employee who attempts to regulate firearms in Oklahoma.

Yeah I saw that - good example of cherry picking, and elitist paranoia that proles who dont agree with the "party line" might be armed and cause problems.

Also, many arguments in addition to being poorly rooted in *contextual fact are also disingenuous. Ex: Talking about Jews and the 3rd Reich - its not German Jews that are typically being referred to but Austrian and especially Polish Jews. Most notably the Warsaw Ghetto Jews which in fact performed a failed uprising once they were able to obtain some weaponry - of course the weaponry obtained was insufficient and too little too late.

Another major failing of this silly article is the unfounded assumption that future resistance would not have any underlying political or support structure. The author "claims" that such would not be the case in the future and violence would be random, and cites historical examples of inappropriate violence as if making those citations furthers any particular point.

The fact is the Founders were pretty clear in why people had the right to bear arms. There really is not any serious historical debate on the topic, as long as you do not consider silly liberal historical revisionists attempts as serious - which I do not.

I find it interesting that the Atlantic reached *across the Atlantic to Moscow and found an elitist Russian 1%er to launch this broadside on the rights and capabilities of Americans.

And yet each of these governments found it necessary to round up all of the civilian weaponry before applying the government boot to their neck...

I thought arguments were presented well. I agree that it is by far more likely that couple of you gun nutters watches one too many FOX "breaking news", go completely deranged, and go pillaging and raping those filthy 'lieberals' than actual militia forming to stop the army of a tyrannical government from taking over the country.

Not that any of you would change your minds about this even if founding fathers would personally tell you that not what they meant with 2nd.

Not so polite after all

Quote:
Myth #3: An armed society is a polite society.
Fact-check: Drivers who carry guns are 44% more likely than unarmed drivers to make obscene gestures at other motorists, and 77% more likely to follow them aggressively.
• Among Texans convicted of serious crimes, those with concealed-handgun licenses were sentenced for threatening someone with a firearm 4.8 times more than those without.
