"Right after JFK was assassinated there was a big push by the gun control loonies to ban imported military surplus firearms, because that's what Oswald used. Ban those, the loonies said, and we'll all be much safer."
I don't really blame people for being affraid of assault weapons...
Hu-MAN beings are practiced at the art and science of killing each other. To call scared people "loonies" to me isn't accurate...is it not truely "loonie" to aspire to self-dececration...?
"The loonies think by that banning import surplus, then imported new firearms, then reducing magazine size to ten rounds, then semi-autoloaders, then ugly guns, they can get to their ultimate goal."
And I believe that there are plenty of these weapons available...my sense is that the harder it is to get...the harder those wishing to aquire this "banned" inventory will work to get it. It is still available, just not "legal"...just like abortions USED to be.
"They say that the Second Amendment has something to do with the legitimate sporting use of firearms -- it doesn't. They say it has something to do with the National Guard -- it doesn't. It has to do with FREEDOM, and freedom alone. When we lose the Second Amendment, the First Amendment is in grave danger."
...and when we lose our right to privacy, as is being forced by technology, we are much closer to the confiscation scenario...It all comes down to guns and money...this is the world that men have constructed....I think "gun control" is a slightly humorous proposition considering the potential reality that is nuclear anihilation...grab your rifle if you can get to it before it and your eyes melt!
"Do you want to live in a world like that? Just let Clinton and his cronies eliminate all firearms that don't have a legitimate sporting purpose, and that world will be here shortly."
I personally find it more probable that the right wing would be the party to confiscate our firearms...our money, our hard assets, etc. I'm a reg-republican due to my position on gun control, flag burning, military readiness, etc. but the group in the old congress and the Senate are showing me that they have gone too, too far to the RELIGIOUS RIGHT...the land of extremism behind the 8-Ball...where the Socialists and Capitalists collide and out of necessity, merge...Facsism. Y2K opens the door...we lose the power grid...the riots begin, in come the columbia-blues...in order to institute a kinder, gentler martial law. I am unmoved by the Presidents private sexual activities...but I am concerned that a politically motivated inquisition has the power to destroy our cohesion as a Nation.
People...it doesn't matter who is in the white house, or who has the majority...our Liberty and our Freedom is jeapordized, by a majority run amuck...they're out-of-control attack on Clinton should be seen as evidence of what they could do to ANY of us if they ever have absolute power...ie, the 2000 White House.
I think that it's a misguided to beleive that Clintons agenda includes, or ever included, assaults on personal Freedom.
