Won't anyone think of the poor, sensitive Lawful Gun Owner?

Listen to this podcast episode. It's 2 veterans of Iraq talking about guns. What do you think these military veterans say about it? They are both gun owners. What do you think their position is? For arming schools and teachers, what do you think they think? They talk it through pretty logically, considering who would be in those jobs and what equipment they'd need. How many infantry do you suppose they'd estimate it would take to secure a HS as safely as a US embassy? 

 

It's worth a listen.

Almost exactly a year ago, a federal appeals court considered whether a Maryland law banning assault weapons was unconstitutional.

The law was passed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre, which left 20 first-graders and six adults dead after a man bearing an AR-15 style weapon stormed the Connecticut school.

“Nine terrified children ran from one of the classrooms when the gunman paused to reload, while two youngsters successfully hid in a restroom,” Judge Robert B. King of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, wrote in the majority opinion. “Another child was the other classroom’s sole survivor. In all, the gunman fired at least 155 rounds of ammunition within five minutes, shooting each of his victims multiple times.”

 

The court ruled that the ban on assault weapons like the one Adam Lanza used inside Sandy Hook that day — like the one that police say Nikolas Cruz has confessed to using inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and that Omar Mateen used inside Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub and Stephen Paddock used from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas — was constitutional.

It was not the first time a federal appeals court had ruled that a ban on assault weapons was permissible under the Second Amendment. It was the fourth time in the last decade.  In fact, no federal appeals court has ever held that assault weapons are protected.

Because of the Second Amendment. Bans infringe on my inalienable rights. Next question.

There is no solution. It sucks that kids are getting killed. But this isn't an "epidemic," either. 

 

Oh hey jmc! Well, I already know you're trash from your posts on TSW but speaking of Amendments... Let's hear it from Thomas Jefferson. (Apologies he doesn't write in message board style for you, jmc, but it's worth it to read through the full excerpt, or even more!)

 

"Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the arc of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to it, and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present, but without the experience of the present; and forty years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading; and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead. I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times."

"Can one generation bind another, and all others, in succession forever? I think not. The Creator has made the earth for the living, not the dead. Rights and powers can only belong to persons, not to things, not to mere matter, unendowed with will."

https://thefederalistpapers.org/founders/jefferson/the-creator-has-made-the-earth-for-the-living-not-the-dead

 

"A generation may bind itself as long as its majority continues in life; when that has disappeared, another majority is in place, holds all the rights and powers their predecessors once held, and may change their laws and institutions to suit themselves. Nothing then is unchangeable but the inherent and inalienable rights of man."

Congrats on being the binding generation, you selfish lazy old useless farts.

It says all anyone needs to know about a person when they condemn, wholesale, the exercise on another human's natural rights.

 

It's also hilarious that they don't realize that mindset:  that they believe they should have a say in what natural rights a person should be permitted to exercise, is the exact reason the Second Amendment exists.

 

Fortunately, no matter how much the gnash their teeth and wail, "shall not be infringed" is the High Law of the land and cannot be changed without Constitutional Amendment, and the gun owning populace is very awake to the would be monarchists who are quick to deny them not only their Second Amendment rights, but other rights protected by the Constitution as well.

 

Further, the nature of guns themselves makes them impossible to confiscate without a civil war (anyone advocating gun grabbing to "prevent gun deaths" is a liar, as the gun deaths instigated by their desire to confiscate would lead to unfathomable amounts of gun deaths); while those they would be asking to do the confiscating (law enforcement and military) are amongst the demographic most likely to be private gun owners themselves, who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution.

 ^ On the Second Amendment garbage. Grow the $*!^( up and face reality. 

 

No one is "taking your guns away" you hobbyless morons. You've done plenty of damage. The idea is to prevent more. Gun reform is the obvious answer in front of your stupid potato face.

An truly convincing argument:  "I can't dispute a single fact presented, and I'm an emotional and self-righteous dickhead, so I'll call names instead."

 

I am convinced.  Where should I turn over my firearms?

 

I do thank you for your asshattery, however, because while your particular brand of howling into your facebook echo chamber won't do a thing to take a single gun off the street, prevent a single gun death, or help a mentally ill child, what it does do, very effectively, is put gun owners on the further defensive.

 

And that's fine, stupid as it may be to pick a fight with the people with all the guns.

"Pissant" is a term generally used for gator by me. Don't get too comfortable with using it in such a cavalier manner. Seriously (or not) my auto-correct keeps changing the spelling to puissant which I ashamedly admit that I had to look up and it means the opposite of puissant.
