Hmmmm. With “10M” fewer gun nuts in the world, we’d all be safer. Tough decision. |
Let's compare what Robert O'Rourke said and what Briscoe Cane said, with what some other Americans who were knowledgable on the matter said. You decide who is being more American:
Robert O'Rourke: “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” Briscoe Cane: "My AR is ready for you Robert Francis." Thomas Jefferson: "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it." Samuel Adams: "Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can." Patrick Henry: "Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us." Nathanael Greene: "I am determined to defend my rights and maintain my freedom or sell my life in the attempt." Thomas Jefferson (again): "In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution." Samuel Adams: (again) "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks." Marquis de Lafayette: “When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.” John Parker (commander of the American forces who resisted the British attempt to confiscate Americans' firearms): “Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here |
Chicago is the bogeyman of every racist right wing gun whacko. Do you know where all of the illegal guns in Chicago come from? Indiana and Missouri, those pinko bastions of liberal elites. |
Adam Lanza violated the constitutional rights of 20 kindergarteners. |
No, he killed them. It is a tragedy. However, millions of law abiding gun owners did not kill those 20 kids. Why take away every American’s right because of people who break the law? That’s not how it works. |
Yes, it is. It's the same reason people can't keep vials of anthrax at home or in their pockets. Because it's used to kill other people. Murder is the ultimate violation of a person's constitutional rights. |
Right. Which the murderer is responsible for. Not other law abiding citizens. We have a right to own guns that is not negated by the crimes of bad guys/gals. People who don’t commit crimes aren’t punished in America by loss of constitutional rights. |
If a law passes which bans assault rifles, the people who don't commit crimes and own assault rifles will dutifully turn their assault rifles over to the government. Because they are people who don't commit crimes. Those who don't turn them over would no longer be considered as "people who don't commit crimes." Because they would be committing a crime, and therefore would be punished by a loss of constitutional rights. That's how we do it in America. If you don't like it, go move to Afghanistan. |
I did a deployment to AFG. Everyone there have full auto assault rifles. |
Then you should feel right at home there. Bye! |
I feel right at home here thanks. You are pathetic. |
Answer. The. Question. What are you going to do with 10,000,000 people who are armed, in many cases with military training, feel they are backed into a corner with nothing to lose, and are willing to fight? What are you going to do then? The absolute authority of The State has been challenged. What will happen? Don't give us snark. Don't give us quips. Give us an answer. What is going to happen when ten million people with rifles say "NO!" ? |
Why on earth would I do that? What a stupid question. Are you mentally defective? |
And you sound like a troll. And not even a particularly bright one, since you keep using the Cruz thing over and over regardless of context. |
You'd do that because they want to take your assault rifles away. |
