Tony Norman: Why can't gun lovers handle rational limits?

An action alert was sent to tens of thousands of gun control supporters across the commonwealth over the weekend: Five firearms-related bills designed to weaken the state's already porous gun laws will come before the state House Judiciary Committee today. Because this is Pennsylvania -- a state where the gun lobby can pretty much dictate to our do-nothing lawmakers when they can and can't go to the bathroom -- groups like CeaseFirePA don't have the luxury of mincing words when it comes to motivating supporters to pressure their representatives in the Legislature to do the right thing.

And it goes without saying that he and his ilk get to decide the parameters of “free” speech, and we already where the lines will be (already in Australia a radio personlity was hauled before some kind of court or commission or some such, probably something like Canada has, and prosecuted or examined for opposing man-made global warming on the air in a debate with a warmist).

Also, Christians (but not Muslims) will be, more than they already are, proscribed from publicly professing their faith.

Why can’t liberals use rational limits for free speech, like using printing presses and be limited to handing out flyers instead of mass printed newspapers and electronic mediums like the Internet?

We already have rational, actually what I call irrational limits.

The question is Mr. Norman, why can’t you accept them and live with them?

You f’rs are never satisfied. You won’t be until only criminals can have guns.

The problem that I have with these liberals, socialists and communists is that they aren’t satisfied with just 1/2 a loaf or even 1/4 of a loaf when they want something. They will eventually want the whole loaf. So, by getting us to give them this “JUST ONE “LITTLE BITTY, ITTY BITTY” CONCENTION TO THEIR DEMANDS, WILL MEAN, EVENTUALLY, EVERYTHING THEY WANT”. So, no thank you, we’ll keep our weapons, without having to register any of them to the government. We saw what all of that will mean, right after the hurricane “KATRINA” in New Orleans, when they sent their deputies to every house that had registered their weapons. Up to today, none of those confiscated weapons have ever been returned to their rightful owners, and the owners were never paid for the weapons that was confiscated.

Exactly so. The word “rational” is like the word “some”. Neither word is definitive and does not have a universally accepted definition. What may be rational to Norman is unacceptable and irrational to me. Then again, his little essay is intended for liberals and others who are of the same mind as him rather than for gun owners and 2nd Amendment supporters. Just another piece dribble for liberals to circle-jerk about.

I’m a gun lover who respects rational limits on ownership. When the basement, the main house, and the garage are full, I do the only rational thing. I find a bigger house.

“Why can’t gun lovers handle rational limits?”

We have over forty years of experience dealing with the left and their “rational limits”. At every turn they lie, distort, demonize and continually try to eliminate gun ownership. As a result There can be no trust of these people on any issue. We KNOW what they are really after despite what they publicly say. First it was handguns, especially “saturday night specials” except they defined EVERY handgun as a SNS. They wanted to eliminate “cop killer bullets”, but wrote the legislation such that 90% of ammo were cop killer bullets. Gun owners KNOW they want to destroy us. That is their real goal and any compromise will be used as a means toward that goal.
