1st Cali confiscation-->>Storm Troopers win

Both dems and repubs will continue to be elected. It just depends on what party company's are needing a bit of love. Don't forget they are on the same team.
 
No reason any citizen walking amongst us and not in jail should not enjoy all the freedoms of every other citizen... if you need to restrict them then they should be in jail...no half free bullshit..you are free or you are not

Anyone that supports partial freedom is as bad as the other side that wants to tak your rights..

I agree with this.

If you are out it is acknowledgement you are no threat to society.

The argument against this should be "Why aren't these people secured or institutionalized?"
 
Franklin Roosevelt ensured that there would never be a second American revolution or civil war when he implemented Social Security. By getting every working person to pay into their "trust fund" they also wouldn't want to jeopardize it by overthrowing the government and vaporizing their so-called savings.

Even if the government was the worst ever imaginable the arguments against revolt would be that the needy would starve and people wouldn't have jobs, loose their savings, etc.

Talk to people and they think the dollar just goes on and on forever no matter what happens.

I don't think there are many today under the age of 50 that think they will get SS.

I'm expecting my supposed pension will become hors de combat before I get to retirement age.

The problem I see the education system and the blatant indoctrination of blank slate minds.

AOC is the desired product of education these days.
 
This has been my conclusion for the last several years. We can all entertain ourselves with what we would do, but the reality will be much different. Tell the govt no, with defiance, and you will die on your lonely island....while the rest of us watch it play out on the news.

Yup. Everything is different when a gang of well armed and armored thugs busts into your house at 3am and uses your kids as human shields. Wouldn't matter what state you're in.
 
When Jefferson said "free men" he was speaking of white landowning males, so we can dispense with holding him up as the pinnacle of egalitarianism. But, just so we're all on the same page, Deersniper is for arming murders, rapists, child molesters, wife beaters, and illegal aliens. They would all be part of that "all free men" you speak of, correct? We'll just have to agree to disagree on that.

Do you pay attention to the questions as your checking them off? Why does it ask if you’ve spent more than a year in jail? On the same line it asks if your a felon? So if you do a year in jail your automatically a felon? Did you know a misdemeanor charge pending in another state classifies you as a fugitive from justice? Even if said county has your physical and mailing address and has refused to extradite even at your insistence? What happened to innocent till proven guilty.

Yes, I've read EVERY question EVERY time I've filled out a 4473. Surely, if you have a misdemeanor charge pending in another state (and its no big deal, why else would you let it fester), you could proactively deal with it and not wait on them to find you, cuff you, and haul you away. Yes, if you have an outstanding warrant, you are a fugitive. I'm not sue why that is so hard to come to terms with. I'm okay with fugitives being barred buying guns too. Take care o' yo bidniss, then buy a gat. Order of operations...

Make them prove they are reformed before they are let out. If that adds another 5-10 years of hard labor to their sentence then so be it. Take away their TVs, visitations, and other niceties while in. Prison shouldn't be an acceptable place to stay for the criminal. If they wont reform ever, then leave them in working their asses off.

What we're building is a prison on the outside for everyone to live in, because we are too nice to the criminals.

That is not a side effect, that is actually the main goal.
Make sure that the government has the heel on the neck of as many people as possible and get all the other stupids to agree to it.
The first rule of Communist dictatorship is to make everything possible a crime and everybody a criminal, then selectively choose who to stomp on based on if they get out of line.

See that is what they get you with.... they say.... "Murderers, rapists, child molesters, terrorists"..... and so you say "sure well we'll let you have all the power to take away rights but you promise to only do it to the guys we think are "bad" right?" next thing you know "Felony" is putting out your trashcan on the wrong day.... or taking part in a protest the government doesn't approve of is something that becomes a prohibiting offense.

Again it matters little if the "murderers are armed", if you are going to murder someone stupid prohibitions won't make any difference. I'm not sure if you realize how cheap and easy it is to get guns & weapons for criminals, they pay pennies on the dollar for stolen guns. So it makes no difference.

Just like... We'll make drugs illegal because they are bad for you...... How'd that work out?
I'd say we would have had way less issues & have kept way more of our rights if we just said, fine do drugs, they are bad, they might kill you... don't come looking to us... oh and if you want to do a crime to support your habit, your armed would be victim will shoot you..

The government is not interested in keeping weapons away from bad people, only in restricting as many potential freedom loving types as possible from having them. So don't willingly give the government the rope to hang you with.

If the good people stopped being such sheep and all agreed to be required to go armed at all times, the entire criminal class would find their careers abruptly at and end after a few months of bad actors getting shot.
 
I can't like this, but I'll quote and agree.

I will say that I believe there will be a lot of folks that decide to die on that lonely island. Enough private Alamos could change things and wake folks up....but I don't hold out much hope.

Yea I can see how that would put a bad tase in your mouth. There is no shortage of talkers. Meanwhile The gov is picking everyone off person by person, part by part, and gun by gun. They are attacking innocent people while real criminals walk the streets. Then there’s all the criminals in plain site working for the gov. We are the frog in the pot of water in the stove.. even our president had his rights violated by powerful corrupt criminals inside the gov.. So what is the answer? I don’t know but everyone has their line on the sand.. we just need to find the line that enough people have drawn. At this rate though you need multiple cashes in multiple alamos or you need a communal Alamo. At this point it might be easier to take over Venezuela and declare it a patriot state...

I'm not sure if you realize how cheap and easy it is to get guns & weapons for criminals, they pay pennies on the dollar for stolen guns. So it makes no difference.

I’ve never bought a gun on the black-market, nor have I bought a stolen firearm, so I’ll need to take your word on that. I have read some articles (written by flaming liberals) that guns are easier to buy than bread in some parts of the country. That guns are easily available to criminals does not mean that we should make ownership of firearms by known felons legal. That’s like saying “It’s easy to drive drunk and not get caught. We should make drunk driving legal.”

If the good people stopped being such sheep and all agreed to be required to go armed at all times, the entire criminal class would find their careers abruptly at and end after a few months of bad actors getting shot.

We are in agreement here- with the caveat that I would rather that known criminals NOT go armed legally.

Hlee your from Texas right?

Yes

What is your opinion on that Houston pd issue or that Austin issue?

You’ll need to elaborate. These cities are both sufficiently screwed up that you could be talking about a number of “issues.”

Cause you sound like a straight edger that believes everything the gov says.

I’m not sure what a “straight edger” is, but I believe neither that the government is here to help, nor that they are actively out to get me. Governments scoop up power where they can. That is the nature of government, and has been so ever since two people came together and said “What that other person is doing is wrong…”

Have you ever been arrested?

No. Do I need to be a criminal to be part of this discussion?

Ever took a oath to defend the constitution?

No. The most egregious affronts to the Constitution have been committed by those sworn to uphold it. You’ll need to find another acid test.

You never did respond about the 4473 and the more than a year thing?

Two separate questions wrapped up in one bullet point. Have you been convicted of a felony? Have you been convicted of a crime that carries a max penalty of more than 1 year? Both show serious lack of being able to make life decisions. Maybe we should consider not arming those that can’t not commit acts that would necessitate removing them from society for a year…

Aren’t one of the mag ban states felony for having said “prohibited” mag?

Don’t know.

Do you have any 30 round mags?

I do not own any illegal weapons, nor do I own any prohibited magazines.

You're line of argument is about like a gun ban idiot saying a pro gun person wants everyone to have nukes.

So, there are reasonable- dare I say “common sense”- limits to the 2A?

And yeah I'm for the death penalty for thieves rapists and mirdererd but if someone isn't in jail they have the right to arms.

If the prison system wasn’t chronically underfunded and overcrowded I think we could agree, because everyone on the outside could be trusted. But…

https://www.nij.gov/topics/corrections/recidivism/pages/welcome.aspx

 Within three years of release, about two-thirds (67.8 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested.

 Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested.

 Of those prisoners who were rearrested, more than half (56.7 percent) were arrested by the end of the first year.

 Property offenders were the most likely to be rearrested, with 82.1 percent of released property offenders arrested for a new crime compared with 76.9 percent of drug offenders, 73.6 percent of public order offenders and 71.3 percent of violent offenders.

We used to call prisons penitentiaries- root word penitent, and reformatories- root word reform. Their roles were to be places where criminals could reflect on their crimes and to learn how to be productive members of society. Prisons now serve as graduate schools for criminals. Once they have been inside, at least we know who is likely to violate the rights of others again. Fuck them.

This cut a piece off here and there bullshit has got is to where we are today

Felons
Misdemeanors
Domestic disputes
Depression meds
ADHD meds
Being accused of a crime?

Where is your line for being able to own guns? Because they are just going to add to that list above. All those except for the meds are currently disqualifiers



“11b- Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year?”
Not exactly the same as “being accused of a crime.”

“11i- Have you ever been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence?”
That’s a bit more specific than misdemeanors

The above notwithstanding, “red flag laws” and Trump’s quote to the effect of “Take their guns now and give them due process later” are both total bullshit.

Yeah they sound like they will really abide by your decree that they shall not have firearms. Hint. Only law abiding people will pay attention to it.

And look up what finding has been given to, and the process for getting your God given rights back from .gov

As I have said above, that guns are easily obtainable illegally for criminals does not mean that they should be legally obtainable by criminals. Getting your rights back should be hard. Your life decisions led you to a place where the rest of society said "He's a danger to himself and to others. He needs help. He needs reform. He needs to be locked away from polite society. He cannot be trusted with the liberties we enjoy as members of a free society." As they say "You done messed up A-A-ron!"
 
Another Cali story. A friend had been given super strong pain meds by his medical doctor, which altered his thinking. One morning he grabbed his pistol, put it in the car, and drove around for 20 minutes. His wife was worried about him, and called the police. When he returned, they searched the car and found the loaded gun under the front seat. He had done nothing but drive his car, did not remove the pistol from the pistol rug.

He went to court, and his medical doctor came with him. she testified that the temporary irrational behavior was the result of the heavy drugs she had prescribed. Result, his 2A rights were permanently taken away by the libtard judge. Perhaps I should say communist/totalitarian/hollier than thou judge.

Oh, wait, you can play if you've been arrested. No, being arrested is not the same as being convicted, but it is also not a disqualifying disposition. It is not germane to the conversation, as having been arrested does not disqualify you from owning or buying a firearm. But, currently being indicted is. Those facing trial should probably get their house in order before buying more guns.

I suggest that you are reading much more into what I wrote than was put into it. Read the actual words.

Women voting leads to socialism / communism. That mothering instinct and making decisions based on emotion isnt a good thing for voting
 
Self defense is a basic HUMAN right. Just like access to clean water and food. Meaning NO ONE can 'own' the water or the wild life/vegetation. Private property are paramount but you can't damn rivers, pollute or poison water sources that crosses your property nor can you keep anyone from navigating those waters. You also cannot "trap" wildlife in such a way that it negatively effects the health of that wildlife source. < Lot's of interpretation to that last statement. ? Fences are to be built to keep people/wildlife out, not in.

Regardless of who or what you've done in the past. If you're a danger to society, you should be under lock and key and/or supervision. Parole or probation = no gun. Both of these are just like being in jail/prison except society and the judicial system is giving you a break by allowing you to mingle in society as this is likely better than keeping you under lock and key on the public's dime. Once you've completed your sentence, ALL your rights are restored.

The judiciary system is a complete other thread though and that's where most of the 'problems' come from and are continued.
 
There are way to many problems with the system and the status quo. We have people that are legal law abiding citizens that are denied their rights. Since the felon issue keeps coming up though.. as a lot of people have said already, it should be a all or nothing thing.. If you can’t be trusted with a gun you should be locked up. If you can kill with a gun you can kill with a pencil or bare hands.. this is not just one issue though it is many.. starting with the prison industrial complex. People being locked up should not be making money going into private pockets. People in prisons should have to work. They should have opportunity to learn and learn skills within reason. There is no need for t.v. Though. The prison should be self sufficient.. you have all that manpower, have em in the garden. Have them make repairs to buildings. Have them fix cars. If one actually regrets the decisions he has made give him the tools and options to start making better choices. Then there’s the judges, and all the cases of people incarcerated that turned out they really were innocent.
