David is only saying what is obvious and needs to be said.

Rachel. I went to Barbados. They do that there. No guns allowed except at the gun range where only the elite can keep their guns. ...I got robbed at gunpoint.. Case closed.

What is so terrible about law-abiding citizens owning guns to exercise their right, given to them by law, to defend themselves? People with crime in their minds don’t use guns for lawful purposes, and aren’t deterred by “gun control” laws. Gun control laws only affect the ability of otherwise peaceful people to own guns. Only law-abiding people care about breaking gun laws.

What I particularly LOVE about that idiot Rall's comment is that he is basically stating that if someone is seen as a potential threat, then they should be eliminated... Interestingly enough, that's EXACTLY what they do in 3rd world countries and dictatorships, mostly to opposition journalists and idiot cartoonists. I wonder if he felt this way during the Bush (or any republican) administration?

Is Ted Rall going to get a job going door to door collecting outlawed guns?

MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow said she enjoys shooting, but thinks we should not be "allowed" to take our guns home from the range.

Come and get 'em Rachel, come and get 'em...

“These town hall terrorists could be declared enemy combatants and bundled off to Bagram with the stroke of a pen. If ever there were a reason for suspending civil rights, this is it.” (Ted Rall)

I characterized Maddow's position as "nothing less than the complete evisceration of the Second Amendment." As for Rall, I had this to say: "Careful, Mr. Rall. You’re talking about testing the ultimate last-resort purpose behind the Second Amendment. Some of us armed Americans take our Bill of Rights seriously and will not go gentle into that good night, bundled or by ourselves. You and your fellow travelers are playing a most dangerous game."

Here is another American "skating near the legal edge".

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." by Thomas Jefferson.

So I'd say he's in good company.

Rachel Maddow must be one of those who try on dozens of clothes in shops without purchasing.

Why buy when you can’t take it home?

[Screaming_Gerbil]

Am I 'skating near the legal edge of making threats of violence'?

Making threats of violence?

It would appear that many people are preparing for it. Look at gun and ammo sales...

People doing stuff like calling the non-violent TEA Party protesters domestic terrorists are pushing things in a potentially violent direction. I remember some famous quote along the lines of "Those who make non-violent protest impossible make violent conflict inevitable" - or words to that effect.

People aren't just skating on the edge of thinking that things might happen. They are wising up and actively preparing for it...

Rachel Maddow said she enjoys shooting, but thinks we should not be "allowed" to take our guns home from the range.

What are we supposed to do Rachel, invite tyrants and criminals to the range and shoot them there?

[TLI]

Rachel Maddow said she enjoys shooting, but thinks we should not be "allowed" to take our guns home from the range.

Rach, here is a fun thought. Let's lock YOU up at the range and take the guns home instead.

Whaddya think `bout that, "hunny?"

Sorry to be repetitive, but consider what do the Marxists/Leninists/Fascists/Progressivists/Stalinists/Socialists/Communists/etc. , Think of guns:
‘Every Communist must grasp the truth that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun’
-Mao Zedong

‘One man with a gun can control 100 without one’ Vladimir Lenin

‘A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie’ Vladimir Lenin

‘We want them registered’ Nancy Pelosi

‘We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?’
Joseph Stalin

The founding fathers knew the values of guns as a bulwark against tyranny.

What does it say about the National Socialist Left that they want to take away the basic human right of self-defense?

[Boucheau]

That is my kind of fellow American.

Right beside you, David.
