I went to youtube to see this, and couldn’t watch more than a few minutes. The slippery creep kept interrupting Gingrich.
No reasonable person can discuss politics courteously with such people.
Eight Deuce on the loose!
It’s so absolutely clear that the ban proposal is just a first step this time around. If the government is allowed to take away constitutional rights based on activities of a few crazy people there will be no end to what will come down the road. Driving cars and trucks, eating fatty foods, knifes, axes, chain saws, wood chippers, fists, blunt objects, etc. all kill people.
Of course, smoking hasn’t actually been banned it’s just being taxed to death - actually a penalty not a tax when compared to the small tax on ObamaCare if one doesn’t sign up. Come to think of it - the high tax on smoking is unconstitutional since it’s really a penalty.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered.
And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
So Shields basically thought he could achieve "total control of handguns" in the United States by about 1986.
27 years past his future target date, there are more handguns than ever (although I'm sure the percentage of Americans who own them has probably decreased), and the Supreme Court has ruled that they can't be taken away.
***Supreme Court has ruled that they can’t be taken away. ***
As Andrew Jackson said about the Supreme Court...”The Supreme court has made it’s decision, now let’s see them enforce it!” (On the Indian removal to Oklahoma)
As usual, it’s been the camels’ nose under the tent.
The Income tax only pertains to the upper 2%
SS # will never be used as identifiers
Seat belts will never be used as a means to pull someone over for a ticket
Oh, how I wish they could bring up the original justification for these (and other) laws. Why, you cannot fine me, because ORIGINALLY this law was XYZ.
We already see the same. We’ll only ban THESE types of guns. Oh, that didn’t work? Well, we’ll ban ABC this time. Hummm, still not right, how about ALL guns??
Unfortunately, ‘our side’ never steps up and says “No. Per the 2nd, it SHALL not be infringed.” and thus never a nose to start nudging.
We seem to have the only groups ‘willing’ to reach across and hand the opposition the jar of Vaseline (with sand in it) for the rest of us ‘commoners’.
True. Fortunately, it does at least make it more difficult.
I permit them some small amount of resources that I yield up reluctantly.
Well stated. I'm going to use your words as my own :-)
Sadly I agree with you. The republican party is dead to me. I will only vote for a candidate who is most closely aligned with my beliefs and principles. The Constitution is not a difficult document to understand. Yet I violated my beliefs when I held my nose for McCain, grudgingly obliged Mitt (just to beat berry sotero) and what did it achieve? Squat.
Never again. I don’t care if a 3rd party kills the republicans for the next 50 years. I will not vote for a candidate based on a GOP recommendation. In fact, I’ll be suspect of any recommendation they have.
BTT. So excellent.
He failed in his own homeland. That's why he's here, and desperate not to have CNN bump his time slot out of prime. This is entirely constructed out of Morgan's deep-rooted fear to return home in shame having failed in the States (a la Billy Connelly). Gingrich ably exploited that fear and probably could have gone further...
Yes, Newt too often hones in on his detractors beautifully but seems to back off just at the moment when he should go in for the kill. Morgan must have been told to back off the anti-Second Amendment nonsense because he’s shut up about it. Even the socialists and Marxists at CNN know enough not to tempt fate in this regard,knowing that if it were known many of them have armed security for themselves it could backfire on them and Morgan, the piece of crap that he is knows how good he has it here in America.
I boycott every sponsor of Piers Morgan.
You mean the NY police weapons that are now illegal since they have more than 7 shots?
Do you remember Charles Whitman? He didn’t make your list, killed 14 people and wounded 32 others. Mostly with sawed off shot gun and 6mm rifle. assault weapons??
You are correct! How did you know?
Well, I think the weather is much nicer in Hell.
With global warming inevitably upon us, weather in Hell will soon be nicer than anywhere!
He's correctly portraying Morgan as the enemy. The enemy of the American People.
