Gun Owners Outed By NY Newspaper Speak Out On "Hannity"

Real Clear Politics ^ | 1/12/13

[Impala64ssa]

New Yorkers sound off on invasion of privacy on FOX News' "Hannity.

[Tzimisce]

What is going to happen when they set up a national gun data base?

How many angry phone calls can I expect?

How many union thugs and activists?

Will yellow Stars of David be the next requirement?

[antceecee]

Watched this Hannity today... and I have sworn off of Hannity for awhile, but happy I did so. The anger in that group crossed all “groups” that the media love to break us up into! They were pretty much pissed off! Loved it. The Attorney - Gold, who attempted to present the other side was pitifully inadequate in dealing with the opposition. These idiots may have awakened a sleeping giant.... first New York... just wait as it resonates throughout the rest of the USA. I remember the old days “silent majority”. I think they just may have awakened the monolithic whale of patriotism.

[SaraJohnson]

Union thugs attacking gun owners????? That would thin the herd quick.

When BJ was in power, the left tried to make it a soical taboo to own guns. They tried to get parents to turn on parents by refusing to permit anti-gun liberals’ kids to play with normal people. They found themselves out-gunned, so to speak. They enacted a bunch of anti-gun propaganda at public schools and to this day you can get expelled if you draw a picture of a soldier with a gun or shoot someone with your finger while playing.

They will try to get people fired from their jobs this time. They will bully while they are full of themselves. ATF and city wackos will act up and hurt some innocent people.

This is going to blow over if the GOP does not betray Americans and tells Obama up front and clear that we have a constitution and he needs to kiss off...BIG if.

This is the GOP’s chance to win the next round of elections for Congress. The NRA will be very active and liberals are going to pay for acting like fascists...again. The NRA supported Harry Reid in his last election...oops.

These idiots may have awakened a sleeping giant....

May have? People are quietly snapping up any firearm in sight, Cops can't get ammo because the demand is so high. One would think that the great intuitive Obama can see whats happening. He has two choices, back off or double down.

[antceecee]

I think he will double down... he is looking for a fight.

[Tzimisce]

It’s a new day in America.

And this isn’t the Democrat party you’re used too.

15 years has changed a lot.

[mylife]

I fear you are correct.
This guy has been above the law from the beginning.
He thinks he IS the law.

[JimSEA]

It seems to me that the progressives goal in this round of disarming the public is to make 80 million of us actual or potential criminals. Noncompliance with abusive and intrusive government regulation will do the job. I certainly won’t cooperate in my own enslavement.

[mylife]

“Do you really think we want those laws observed?” Said Dr. Ferris. We want them broken. You better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

[Cymbaline]

I’m a little concerned now about these people, now that they’ve appeared on TV, so not only are their addresses published in the paper, their faces are now on video, so it probably wouldn’t be too hard for a determined criminal to match up the faces with the names.

And, when Sean asked them for a show of hands of who would disobey a command to turn their guns in, those who raised their hands will be noted. If any of them are in the process of trying to obtain a permit, I can easily see their permits being denied.

...”I think he will double down... he is looking for a fight.”...

I agree with you. Where does he get that cold arrogance? Is it natural, or ?????? People are close to open rebellion and, potentially, revolution..Does he want revolution and is he prepared to mow down half of the citizens of this country and throw the nation into the dark ages for another century? This may sound radical but what he is doing is very unusual and different from what we have experienced here before. We are at a very dangerous hour in history. And, as always you have your NY leftist politicians trying to jump on any bandwagon which allows them to act like little tin horn dictators. I think all their frontal lobes are numb.

Cops can't get ammo because the demand is so high.

You've gotta be kidding me. Do you have a link to a source for that?
Way to go, Obama!
Disarm the police, and hyperarm the civilian.

BRILLIANT!!

"I agree with you. Where does he get that cold arrogance? Is it natural, or ??????

Of course he is. He hates America and all it stands for. He views the US as the source of all the evil and suffering in the world and would see it as Koranic justice for the US to be destroyed.

[Yosemitest]

The "gun control nuts"who despise the 2nd Amendment NEITHER deserve the freedom it provides, NOR the free speech they use against guns.
If they will not defend the second amendment, the RIGHT to KEEP and BEAR arms, they need to be exiled from this country, one way or another!

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

" Today, military service for Swiss males is universal. At about age 20, every Swiss male goes through 118 consecutive days of recruit training in the Rekrutenschule. ...

Even before required training begins, young men and women may take optional courses with the Swiss army's M57 assault rifle.
They keep that gun at home for three months and receive six half-day training sessions.

From age 21 to 32, a Swiss man serves as a "frontline" troop in the Auszug, and devotes three weeks a year (in eight of the 12 years) to continued training.
From age 33 to 42, he serves in the Landwehr (like America's National Guard); every few years, he reports for two-week training periods.
Finally, from ages 43, to 50, he serves in the Landsturm; in this period, he only spends 13 days total in "home guard courses."

Over a soldier's career he also spends scattered days on mandatory equipment inspections and required target practice.
Thus, in a 30-year mandatory military career, a Swiss man only spends about one year in direct military service.
Following discharge from the regular army, men serve on reserve status until age 50 (55 for officers).

By the Federal Constitution of 1874, military servicemen are given their first equipment, clothing and arms.
After the first training period, conscripts must keep gun, ammunition and equipment an ihrem Wohnort ("in their homes") until the end of their term of service.

Today, enlisted men are issued M57 AUTOMATIC assault rifles and officers are given pistol.
Each reservist is issued 24 rounds of ammunition in sealed packs for emergency use.
(Contrary to Handgun Control's claim that "all ammunition must be accounted for," the emergency ammunition is the only ammo that requires accounting.)

After discharge from service, the man is given a bolt rifle free from registration or obligation.
Starting in the 1994, the government will GIVE ex-reservists assault rifles. Officers carry pistols rather than rifles and are given their pistols the end of their service.

When the government adopts a new infantry rifle, it sells the old ones to the public.

Reservists are encouraged to buy MILITARY ammunition
(7.5 and 5.6mm-5.56 mm in other countries-for rifles and 9 and 7.65 mm Luger for pistols)
which is sold AT COST by the government, for target practice .
Non-military ammunition for long-gun hunting and .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammo are not subsidised, but are subiect to NO sales controls.
Non-military non-hunting ammunition more powerful than .22 LR (such as .38 Spl.) is registered at the time of sale.

Swiss military ammo must be registered IF bought at a private store, BUT NEED NOT BE REGISTERED IF bought at a range.
The nation's 3,000 shooting ranges sell the overwhelming majority of ammunition.
Technically, ammunition bought at the range must be used at the range, but the rule is barely known and almost never obeyed.

The army SELLS a variety of machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and cannons.
Purchasers of these weapons require an EASILY OBTAINED cantonal license, and the weapons are registered.
In a nation of six million people, there are at least two million guns, including 600,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC assault rifles, half a million pistols, and numerous machine guns.
Virtually every home has a gun.

Besides SUBSIDIZED military surplus, the Swiss can buy other firearms easily too.
While long guns require NO special purchase procedures, handguns are sold only to those with a Waffenerwerbsschien (purchase certificate) issued by a cantonal authority.
A certificate is issued to every applicant over 18 who is not a criminal or mentally infirm.

There are NO restrictions on the carrying of long guns.
About half the cantons have strict permit procedures for carrying handguns, and the other half have NO rules at all.
There is NO discernible difference in the crime rate between the cantons as a result of the different policies.

Thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Swiss gun lobby, semi-automatic rifles require NO PURCHASE PERMIT and are NOT registered by the government.
Thus, the ONLY long guns registered by the government are FULL AUTOMATICS."

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember:

The beauty of the Second Amendment is
that it will not be needed
until they TRY to take it.

Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

I honestly had no clue about this.
Thank you so much.

(More ammo to use against the hoplophobes)

(Heh-heh!)

Thanks—that quote is so relevant right now.

Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is coming true before our very eyes.
