Yeah, and if you combine him with Rush Limbaugh, you've got the real news scoop, dontcha?? Maybe for right wing nuts.

The major problem that I see with old Paul, is that he is talking about confiscation in 3rd world countries that aren't democratic republics. In fact, they were all dictatorships or autocratic republics.

Besides, I haven't seen anyone here or in the elections who is talking about confiscation here! I even heard old Al Gore talking about hunting rifles. Now I like my handgun, but I could see trading it for a 18" shotgun for my purposes. But THAT isn't even on the table.

Background checks are great. I support them. They make sense. I've already explained why 10 day holds make no sense for people who own guns. What about 72 hour holds for people that start acting erratic but who own guns. You can pull ANYONE off the street for 72 hours if you suspect they are nuts, but you can't even check to find if they have a weapons store.

What about public health weapon removal? Do you support that?

All Constitutional rights have some infringement or provision for infringement. Like assembly. You do have to get permits. Or speech. There are certain kinds of speech that aren't protected like slander or provocative "fighting words". Or like quartering. You can't refuse if you are compensated. Even search and seizure. They just have to have a warrant. What some people here are asking for is an absolute right. A right that NO OTHER Constitutional right has been elevated to or otherwise enjoys. THAT is ridiculous.

But I guess you better go check with Paul Harvey for "the rest of the story".
