I attended a four year school on defence, with thirteen months in a foreign country helping those who wanted freedom and they lost their freedom because they didn’t have a gun of their own. But I’ll be damed if I will stand on American soil and not have a gun to defend it, when so many of out troops are over seas trying to help other find their freedom. This is one Marine who has never been deactivited from military service, got on a plane and flew back to the USA and never was told to not ever pick up a weapon again to defend MY country. Better add to the AARP and the NRA the Military who stand as todays minutemen ready to defend.
Stop all aid to overseas actions bring our troops home and stop spendind on US help that is not wanted from the USA. Let them now take charge as we must to stop expences to all other country, we need hte money ourself or roads,electrical power and water system, bridges, dams, all need attention and we do nothing to help ourself. Something is wrong and it needs to be made right.

Oh yeah, I forgot, How come after World War-2 When we joined the United Nations, every war we got involved in, we were not allowed to WIN. This one we’re in now is NO Exception. And you know what?? They ALL introduced this “Winning Hearts and Minds”, instead of “Winning the WAR”. Have a nice day.

JC- I spent time in a Place called Viet-Nam in 65, 67-68 in the 3rd and 1st Marine Divisions. This Hearts and Minds stuff was tried then and it Didn’t work, and they are trying it again now in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it won’t work. How about we win the War first, Kill and destroy the enemy FIRST. And then we can all get together and have a “People to People” Kombyya session. Whatcha think?? Sound Good?? “You Betcha”.

JC- When an American Marine or Soldier looks down the sights of his M-16/M-4 and see’s the ENEMY in Iraq or Afghanistan, What does he see??? A RagHead. Please do me a favor and keep your politically correct B.S. to yourself.

Take my gun’s…. I dare you!

PS- Oh Yeah, I almost forgot. And we don’t even know if this Kenyan Closet Muslim is even an American.

BBstacker; You forgot Laura Bushes car killed more people than all of my guns.

Did anyone ever think after all the Blood and Treaure we have spent in tnis “Greatest Nation in the History of the World”, WE would have SIGNS on American SOIL {Arizona} WARNING American Citizens that it is not SAFE to be in that area because of “ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS” in the area??? And we have an Incompetent, Unqualified, Empty-Suit, Communist, Marxist, Closet-Muslim,Lying, Bastard in the White House that just continues to spout LIES and Phoney Marxist BS. All this Phoney Political Correctness, and Left Wing Anti- American garbage that these Marxist/Stalin worshippers spout has finally showed these Anti-American LICE for what they are. It’s time for Real Americans to take OUR country back from these”Socialist Dirtbags”. This Kenyan RagHead we have in the White House has put a “Rules of Engagement” policy in Afghanistan that puts OUR Marines and Soldiers at RISK, and PROTECTS the RagHead civilians and Taliban. And he has signs put up on American soil warning of the Foreign Nationals ILLEGALS, instead of sending Troops down therer and Kicking Mexican A$$.

THEY ALSO FORGET THAT THE NINTH AND TENTH THAT ALL RIGHT NOT MENTIONED IN THE CONSTITUTION ARE FOR THE STATES OR THE PEOPLE. i CONTEND THAT IT IS THE PEOPLES RIGHT. LET US USE OUR RIGHTS AND LET OUR REPRESTATIVES KNOW WE ARE GETTING OUR GUNS AND POWDER READY.

2nd Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” and that means “.” period! That means all governments: Local, state and Federal must never infringe on our right to own firearms “period”. Any bill or law that regulate or abolishes this right is absolutely “illegal”. Any “assault weapons ban”, gun registry, any additional taxation of any kind on weapons/ammo/accessories or etc is illegal according to our United States Constitution. This is dispicable what the progressive/commie democrats make stupid laws about a fundamental right to defend ourselves, our homes, our family or any innocent victim from a murderous crime. TRUE SLAVERY AND TYRANNY IS making laws that deny the American people their right to life, liberty, or property (persuit of happiness). We as true Americans and lovers of freedom must unite and defend our country and our US Constitution from tyranny and VOTE THE FECAL HEADS OUT OF OFFICE!!!!

The argument in and of itself is a silly as the average liberal socialist.
Gun Control is not about guns…it’s about control.
We have the natural, inherent, inalienable right to defend ourselves, our families and our property…PERIOD!
I don’t need a man made law to understand that and neither should anyone else.

“You cannot invade the mainland United States.
There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

- Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
(Japanese Imperial Navy–WWII)

And, it also applies to our own government. If our own government ever attempts to institute martial law, they will be met with the same type of force as an invading enemy.

IF WE LET THEM NO GOOD SOB’S TAKE OUR GUNS IT WILL BE THE END OF OUR RIGHTS AND OUR COUNTRY..PUT A STOP TO ALL THIS.. VOLT OUT THE MUSLIMS AND COMMIE’S…WE HAVE TO MANY GUN CONTROLS LAWS..YOU CAN’T EVEN GO HUNTING OR THE FIRING RANGE WITHOUT RISK OF BEING ARRESTED FOR A GUN IN YOUR CAR..FOR SOME REASON THE COPS THINK THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE’S THAT CAN CARRY A GUN SAFLY…WHY IS THAT? DON’T GET RID OF GUNS, GET RID OF GANGS AND BAD GUYS AND THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM…IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

Boy! One really dumb remark draws a rebuke, which it should. The military is our first line around the world. The police are the dometic first line. You and I are the font door step first line. My defense there is in depth. You get past the first line, then there is a second, a third, and a fourth. Finally it would be hand to hand. My family has been here in American before it was a country, so don’t tell me about my home defense mechanisms. Of course education is a good one, but not everyone buys into that one. So we have to start someplace. This is one YOU should leave alone.

wow godi38…..if you knew how to formulate a proper sentence and use proper grammar, we might be able to take what you say just a tiny bit more seriously. You don’t even have subjects and verbs in each sentence. I am educated and can speak in whole sentences quite well. I am not a barbarian and I love my country. I own several guns. We use them to hunt, to protect our livestock, and to protect ourselves if necessary.

I recently saw a program on one of the cable channels about gangs in North America. Do you want to talk about primitive?? Lets just say that some of these folks came to YOUR door and knocked it down to take whatever they want and probably maim or kill you in the process. Are you going to take the time to explain to them about how primitive they are and tell them they are uneducated? Or would you prefer to have an armed police force that might be able to protect you? Obviously, you are not going to own any guns. That would be “coward hypocritical.”

remember he who gives up a right to secure safety will surely lose both.

godi38, you must be on dope, or just plain stupid, or maybe both.

Well Godi38; you don’t sound too educated yourself. Your grammer is deplorable. Our Military has been using weapons for years to protect YOUR rights! The Police use weapons to protect your life and your RIGHTS! You sound like a bleeding heart Liberal! “who wants to buy the world a coke and live in perfect harmony” take off your rose colored glasses and wake up to reality. You must think “Peter Pan” and never land is real!

This mentality shows the primitive condition our folks. Arguments are so primitive like the weapon’s solution. 450 years of cheaper civilization advance. Really nothing has changed since 1763. Really, everyone that is a weapons-lover doesn’t love America really is a coward hypocritical. No education…then weapon’s solution!

Criminals understand that you can’t be free if you’re forced to live on your knees and beg. It should not be any surprise that criminals KNOW how to get weapons – regardless of whether or not that method is ‘legal.’
It takes a devolving, warped mind to cater to criminals and at the same time gleefuly violate the constitutional RIGHTS of law-abiding people who refuse to endure slavery. But then, progressives and elected vermin can live with anything, as long as THEY don’t have to endure it themselves.
When they feel like they have targets on their backs and they have to hide is when they will finally ‘get it.’ Let them learn the hard way. America never needed them. No free country can afford to tolerate them.

We should at least get that to 75% in favor off guns!

As a reminder: In the original Constitution (1789), the powers that were delegated to Congress (Article I, Section 8) made no mention of rights, and about half of the Founders believed that would suffice to prevent the new federal government from legislating over rights. However, others thought future congresses might misconstrue those powers, to include rights, and insisted upon adding a Bill of Rights (in 1791). The Preamble to the Bill of Rights reads:

“THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added.”

Thus the stated purpose for the Bill of Rights was to add “restrictive clauses” “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers” with respect to rights, where ‘its powers’ referred to the federal government. The Second Amendment reads:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Viewing the Second Amendment out of its Bill of Rights’ context has misled many to misconstrue its “shall not be infringed” as a proclamation to all governments, including state legislatures as well as Congress. But, just as the First Amendment’s “Congress shall make no law,” obviously applies exclusively to the federal government, so also does the Second Amendment.

In Barron v. Baltimore, 32 U.S. 243, 247 (1833), Mr. Chief Justice Marshall said: “The [U.S.] constitution was ordained and established by the people of the United States for themselves, for their own government, and not for the government of the individual states…the fifth amendment must be understood as restraining the power of the general government, not as applicable to the states.”
In United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 553 (1875), a mob of whites had disarmed two blacks (in Louisiana) and the issue was whether that action had violated the Second Amendment right of the blacks. Mr. Chief Justice Waite said: “This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government.”
In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. ____ (2008), the U.S. Supreme Court said: “We consider whether a District of Columbia prohibition on the possession of usable handguns in the home violates the Second Amendment of the Constitution.” After meticulous analysis of every word and clause in the amendment, the Heller Court stated: “In sum, we hold that the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense.”

Just remember that that decision involved an ordinance of a territory (the District of Columbia), which falls under federal jurisdiction, it has no effect within the States. The Heller Court cited Barron, Cruikshank and other High Court decisions as precedents.
Stated otherwise no State law has ever been held violative of the Second Amendment. In McDonald v. Chicago, the case now before the High Court, the issue is whether a state’s city ordinance, which prohibits handgun possession in a certain area, has violated the Second Amendment. Based upon previous High Court decision, it does not, but whether it violates the “liberty…without due process of law” clause, of the Fourteenth Amendment remains to be seen.

The fact that the Supreme Court is taking considerable time to decide that case, is worrysome. If the Court should hold that the Chicago ordinance has violated the Second Amendment, that would convey a certain amount of regulatory power over the right to Congress, the very thing the amendment was designed to prevent. If it should decide that the Chicago ordinance has violated the “liberty” clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, that would extend regulatory power over the right to the Supreme Court – not likely, but…

THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT DON’T WANT US BEING ABLE TO DEFEND OUR SELVES FROM THEM. WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE CRIMINALS THROUGH AND THROUGH. THAT PIECE OF SHIT IN THE WHITE IS CRIMINAL, I HOPE THE F.B.I. WILL FIND THE PROOF THEY NEED TO TAKE HIM TO PRISON WHERE HE BELONGS. JUST LIKE NOW THERE ARE TRYING TO SHUT US UP BY TAKING FREE SPEECH AWAY. THE HOUSE HAS DONE IT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE ANTI SPEECH BILL. IF THE SENATE PASSES IT WERE SCREWED. ALSO LIKE IV’E SAID BEFORE THE 2008 ELECTIONS WAS AS CROOKED AS A DOGS HIND LEG, AND ITS SLOWLY BEING PROVEN.

Instead of complaining and wishing things were better, why don’t everyone go to Google, put in Renew America Plan with Tim Turner, and get a new hope on life. Also try Freedom Yell, while there read and listen to all you can find and see if you agree. It might be hard to believe that they could make it work, but they are. Study all the information there and become a believer and mover. Also click on LISTEN LIVE, you might get a recording but you will learn things you don’t already know. Then if you want to help, sign up to be a member in your state and start working with people who are doing something about our deplorable situation.

And why not? those against firearms simply don’t own them, but don’t take them away from the rest of us.
