Ban guns. All guns. Get rid of guns in homes, and on the streets, and, as much as possible, on police. Not just because of San Bernardino, or whichever mass shooting may pop up next, but also not not because of those. Don't sort the population into those who might do something evil or foolish or self-destructive with a gun and those who surely will not. As if this could be known--as if it could be assessed without massively violating civil liberties and stigmatizing the mentally ill. Ban guns! Not just gun violence. Not just certain guns. Not just already-technically-illegal guns. All of them.
I used to refer to my position on this issue as being in favor of gun control. Which is true, except that "gun control" at its most radical still tends to refer to bans on certain weapons and closing loopholes. The recent New York Times front-page editorial, as much as it infuriated some, was still too tentative. "Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership," the paper argued, making the case for "reasonable regulation," nothing more. Even the rare ban-guns arguments involve prefacing and hedging and disclaimers. "We shouldn't 'take them away' from people who currently own them, necessarily," writes Hollis Phelps in Salon. Oh, but we should.

A large number of erect towers
Dear Phoebe,
I will not comply.
Your move.

Molon labe.
Awesome post
PHOEBE MALTZ BOVY circa 1943:
“Let me help you to our wonderful new showers. Take off all your clothes and go through that door. Everything will be fine. We want to be efficient so stand as close as you can together. In a few minutes it will all be over. Thank you for being so submissive.”
Bang stick? Outfitted with harpoon so they can’t crawl away?

Yuri Orlov: "There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?"
Those suspected of hiding firearms in their house will have their house burned to the ground (page from NAZI handbook).
Why not? After all, Tom Dodd (Chris Dodd’s daddy) got GCA 68 primarily from NAZI gun control texts. See http://jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/GCA_68.htm
You’re way too invested in this. :)
“It won’t be JBT, it will be Hellfire missiles fired from Drones 20,000 feet in the air.”
Ahhhh,,, the unbeatable military fantasy. Our military is a fine tuned machine the likes of which the world has never seen. Its very plausible that it could take on and defeat the entire world combined. It is that good.
But it is almost impossible for it do one single thing; suppress the American populace. Fighting on your own logistical tail is a bitter war that wont happen.
The drones are built in a suburb by an airport, Hellfires in a normal factory that we shouldn’t help any hajis find. The Drone pilots go home and stop at the gas station. Carjacked,,,,dead. The Hellfire factory worker is followed and kidnapped in his backyard, his body is hanging from an overpass leading into the plant the next morning.
Tanks and grunts are hard to attack and the checkpoints are left alone, but the fuel and supply truck drivers are sniped mercilessly.
Troops are not trusted by Officers. They do not like attacking their hometowns. Many officers are not trusted by superiors.
Some military formations desert and take their toys and training with them.
A base commander where the drones fly from gets a manila envelope with photos of his children in crosshairs and detailed information about their lives.
A military pilot in a Las Vegas casino meets a very hot woman. After a few drinks, she goes to his room and pleasures him. As he lays there in post coital bliss, she sails a 9mm into his brain. She never told him her father, her brother, and her 3 year old child visiting grandpa were all killed in a drone strike 2 months ago.
As the screws are tightened, non participants who weren’t even involved become angry about food and fuel shortages and the hellfire that also killed a local schoolteacher who lived across the street from the target. Politicians are in feeling grave personal danger.
This isn’t some creepy fantasy, its a deadly reality in many parts of the world that have had the military attack the populace. The US military is fantastic when it is deployed abroad, to protect the nation. It would become a spectacular failure if it ever attacked the US populace.
It’s insane to even contemplate it. And I still believe the military itself would agree with me. Nobody could be so delusional as to think the DHS and Military could be sufficient to do it.
And the populace has one other tremendous weapon, the knowledge of holocausts. We saw Germany, the USSR, Armenians, Cambodia, China, Rwanda, etc.
Nobody will ever again succeed in hijacking an airliner with a boxcutter. You’d wind up mobbed with all your fingers broken within 30 seconds.
Likewise, there will be no gulags or dachau or killing fields in America. That was a one trick pony. A governmental box cutter attack.
I’m just thankful that our military would never ever think about being a tool of oppression. Just hope they don’t fill it with homos and Obamabots.
“Drone fliers live somewhere.”
Durn your hide. You said in 4 words what I took 15 minutes and 300 words to say.
Knives are assault weapons...just ask any steak.......
Look ! A Squirrel !!
phoebe schmebe. I know amoeba with more brain power.
Well, here’s hoping that Laz has some lines he won’t cross. “>)
Does that mean taking them from criminals?
Maybe its time to ban left wing morons instead.
If she could 100% no, 1,000,000% Guran-frickin-tee me that she was able to disarm all Criminals, both citizen criminals and alien criminals in the ENTIRE WORLD, and all Governments in the ENTIRE WORLD, FIRST and keep them disarmed for 100 years....
Then i may just possibly consider giving up ONE of my many weapons....
Until then she can go pound the sand in the little sand box she plays in during her recess time in kindergarten.
I would hit her. Right in the head with a Louisville Slugger.
