You took a lot of guns. You took a lot of gun, too, lol.
Back in 1965, Lyndon Johnson wanted to seize the Louisiana school system so he could forcibly integrate it. So he gave out federal grants for high-school football equipment. In the case of Opelousas schools (near Lafayette, La.), as soon as Opelousas High School accepted the equipment, the district was informed that they now worked for the United States Government and would do exactly as they were told, first time and every time without fail, immediately. The board members were also told they could not resign their positions; if they did, they would immediately go to prison.
That was Leon Panetta who did that for LBJ, by the way.
Same old faces, same old crew, over and over and over again.
Mess with the Second and blood will flow.

Well...
Too bad we couldn’t convince enough people to think beyond the color of ones skin, and keep this rabble in Chicago...
Chicago politics is in D.C., and the rest of the world is apparently not impressed...Go figure that one out...
Come try to take them and health is going to become the conditions of mine and the ones trying to take them.
This is my thinking ever time the ads for Progressive Insurance run. The CEO of Progressive Insurance is a major “progressive” from what I have read.
To be fair, I have never had any health professional ask me about guns in the house or guns in general, even though I wear my NRA Instructor hat.
The Faustian/Marxist bargain. If you take their money, they think they own you. Barney Frank thinks the inclusion of money in the stimulus for build out of additional broadband capacity gives the government authority to dictate every aspect of how the internet is operated. It's a liberal mental illness.
I didn't take the 500 S&W Magnum revolver. That one will give you a pretty good smack in the palms with a 440 gr hardcast at 2580 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. There is a new load at 350 gr/1975 fps/3031 ft-lbs. I haven't tried that yet, but 350 gr JHP is my preferred bullet for handloads. The Ruger 454 Casull firing the Hornady 300 gr @1500 fps develops 1500 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. After shooting 20 of those (one box), you feel like a quivering bowl of jello for a while. It's quite a jolt.
Interesting and thanks for the info, the guy has always been a snake whenever I've seen him on TV.
From Wiki: Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, wasn't happy with the Leon Panetta selection: “I was not informed about the selection of Leon Panetta to be the CIA Director. I know nothing about this, other than what I’ve read. My position has consistently been that I believe the Agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time.”[6]
Ha, even Diane smells a rat. Takes one to know one, I guess.
You nailed it; where is Travis McGee now that we need him.
Be Ever Vigilant!
There are a whole lot of do-nothing FReepers, who thought their "duty" was done when they cast a ballot, who thought themselves way too good to get involved in political campaigns, who by their lazy and selfish inaction allowed this to come to pass.
I bet when they come for your guns you hand them over butt-first, not bullet first, like proper sheeple.
In another Chicago Tribune story which ran in October 2008, Duncan said: “[Gun violence] is a public health epidemic. We are struggling to find the cure for AIDS, we are struggling to find the cure for cancer; [yet] we know the cure for this public health epidemic -- getting rid of guns.”
"And there is a sense in which violence is a public health problem. So let me illustrate the limitations of this line of reasoning with a public-health analogy.
After research disclosed that mosquitos were the vector for transmission of yellow fever, the disease was not controlled by sending men in white coats to the swamps to remove the mouth parts from all the insects they could find. The only sensible, efficient way to stop the biting was to attack the environment where the mosquitos bred.
Guns are the mouth parts of the violence epidemic. The contemporary urban environment breeds violence no less than swamps breed mosquitos. Attempting to control the problem of violence by trying to disarm the perpetrators is as hopeless as trying to contain yellow fever through mandible control."

How about moving to England?
LOL - That is a funny pic, thanks for the chuckle.
