| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/4/2008 11:55:28 AM | If McCain wins, it isn't going to be from people suddenly realizing that he's anti gunowner. It will be from people realizing that the man wants to take us down the path of Western European socialism, and, yes, that will include confiscating guns, and probably knives, like they do in the U.K. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- European socialism? Quite a few Euro countries have conservative governments and have gun laws. Australia has strict gun laws as does japan, no where near socialism. | |

| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/4/2008 12:53:05 PM | Here's the hook, an AK-47 is a Class Three Full-Auto weapon. It's already illegal to own UNLESS you have a Class Three License or a AK-47-Varient which is ONLY Semi-Automatic (One shot per trigger pull)
The Clinton Assault Weapons Ban had 72% semi-automatic weapons on it. Why? Because most people have NO CLUE what a REAL Assault Weapon IS! Assault Weapons are FULL AUTOMATIC FIRE CAPABLE!! By using the misnomer, Clinton got it passed. Of course, after a few years they figured out that ONE, the majority of the companies making the banned guns either went completely out of business OR remaufactured the weapons to be semi-auto only (Intertec's Tec-9 became the AB-10, etc), TWO, that the legislation had almost ZERO effect on the ability of crooks to obtain such weapons as our borders look like swiss cheese, and THREE, The Class Three License Permit Applications quintupled so that citizens without criminal records could still legally own them. So when it came time to renew the ban, Congress looked at it, laughed, and let it die.
Of course, they also remembered what happened the next two elections after the ban passed. People voted Republican in DROVES as a backlash response, so the Dems lost the House & Senate. (Kinda funny because the Dem party STARTED in the South which is still the bastion of anti-criminal gun laws with few laws aginst legitimate owners).
And that's why all the fuss about automatic weapons/ Clinton's Ban is really a moot point. Dredgeing it up again will only serve to do the same thing it did last time...mobilize the NRA and other gun owners to kick everyone out who voted for it. And when they go on the warpath...it has a decided effect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, on to Sen. Obama's statements that he is not wanting to ban your hunting rifles...EVERY STATEMENT that he made since Heller has been Pro-Gun. Every statement AND VOTE except ONE, PRIOR to Heller was ANTI-Gun. This is why people like me are a bit concerned and uncertain whether or not to believe Sen. Obama. Heck, I'm a registered Democrat and I'm STILL waiting until the last minute to vote simply because the issue has NOT been resolved in my mind. | |

Someone explain why you need an AK47? Obama has clearly stated he doesn't want to ban your hunting rifles or guns for protection, but wants to make it harder for criminals or psychotics, etc. to so easily purchase assault type weapons or for those groups any weapon. ..still who needs an AK47..and why are you opposed to more stringent checks on who is purchasing these? Do you want suitcase nukes allowed to be sold to everyone too?
What makes an AK-47 fundamentally different from a hunting rifle? | |
|
| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/5/2008 11:39:59 AM | Technically, any rifle can be used for hunting purposes. But I'd not use an AK-47 for hunting unless I was a REALLY awful shot. Well...maybe if a Bear was the target...those critters are VERY difficult to stop, even with a heart/lung hit.
My primary weapon for hunting deer is a Compound Bow, I used to hunt deer with a 12-gauge shotgun &/or a .30-06 bolt-action rifle, dependant on mood & terrain. For varmints I use a .22lr semi-auto pistol or a .22 Magnum Bolt-action rifle.
For burglars I use a 10mm semi-auto Glock. It does the job. Great replacement for my duty .357 magnum revolver!
So what is an AK-47 good for? Making noise, expending massive amounts of ammo in a short period of time, effective range of around 200-300yds if you are a VERY good shot and you've tricked it out a bit, decent Home Defense weapon, but it's best use is for killing insurgents/enemy troops/drug dealers. It just really isn't a good choice for a Hunting Rifle. But it could easily be considered a Proper Militia Weapon.
Does that help? | |

For the same reason we need the second amendment.
Go figure out just why the founders put it there. | |
|
| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/5/2008 11:57:53 AM | | As along as we continue to leave the borders wide open, there will be an endless supply of illegal weapons coming through here. You can't have any real gun control policy in place when you continue to leave the borders wide open. That’s like trying to stop a small leak in the Hoover dam with a band aid. It's not going to happen. | |

Yea...anti-guners show their ignorance of firearms by being intimidated by the way a firearm looks & use that stupid insight to lock-step their belief with that of the anti-gun politicians, many of whom have never held or shot a gun & know NOTHING about them.
I remember seeing a video in the 1980s of a 1-shot comparison between an actual AK 47 & a 30-06 hunting rifle.
A watermelon was set on a stand about 50 ft away. The dude fired 1 shot from the AK-47 & it blew a hole about the size of a fist through the watermelon.
The same dude fired 1 shot at another watermelon from the 30-06. The watermelon exploded violently & disintegrated.
...So I guess the previous poster was right...why do you need an AK-47 when a 30-06 is much better?
CONCLUSION: Lets ban the AK because it only looks deadly, but since the 30-06 is a "hunting" firearm, leave it alone - it looks visually harmless in comparison. LOL | |

First of all, I want to acknowledge that you're posting tongue-in-cheek (I think)
This is a perfect example of how the public gets misled by our government. "Assault Weapons" ought to something much more dangerous than "hunting rifles", right?
How about "cop killer bullets"? If you ban bullets based on their ability to defeat lightweight personal body armor, there goes your 30-06 and a lot of other popular hunting rounds. | |

I think I saw that video too.
Maybe for this very reason the AK-47 is a better hunting rifle. Presumably if I'm hunting I'm doing it for food (hunting for sport makes no sense to me). Why would I want to splatter all the meat all over the place. The skin of the animal is also going to be useful for making clothing. The less damage the more material. | |

Actually, the AK is probably not the better hunting rifle. Don't assume the damage it does to a deer is going to resemble that done to a watermelon.
Also, the 30-06 is more likely to kill quickly, reducing the suffering of the animal, and the distance it must be tracked while it's dying. | |

| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/6/2008 6:38:54 PM | Nice to see someone mention the venerable .30-06 :)
Ever hear of the B.A.R.?? Browning made a WONDERFUL automatic rifle (now only sold in semi-auto unless to Law Enforcement) chambered in .30-06! It was rather inafmous as the weapon that snuffed out Bonnie & Clyde...not to mention quite a few other bad guys. The FBI did love overwhelming firepower back in the day...  | |

| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/7/2008 10:25:19 AM | He does not intend to uphold the constitution...nor have any presidents before him for these past many years...We have been dupped....
check out Obamas speech in Berlin, Germany...NONE of this crap was televised here before the election..If it was...he would have lost...pretty freakin scarey...His views on globalism.
He wants to give you Change alright...He want to take your money and pass it around the world...You should watch that video...then ask yourself..WHY WASNT THAT shown to us on the media here in America?
Weve been dupped...But he is no worse than the others...they are all in it together..
From what I understand..Ron Paul was the only candidate not involved with the XXX group.. (Were not allowed to mention their name) But some of you know exactly who I am talking about.
Nope..Obama will be the patsy that they will use to ruin this country...Hes a puppet.
Is anyone curious at all about his Civilian National Security Force? The same concept that the Nazis had...called the "Brown Shirts"..TELL ME..What the heck does this nation ALL OF A SUDDEN need a force like this? Have you read about it yet? You had better do some investigating...
Remember too...the globalist have people in place everywhere to discredit people like you and me who do realize that something is wrong here so be aware of them..dont listen to them..they will belittle you and try to make you look stupid.
If one doesnt know history...history will repeat itself...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23GCSZEB-8g
NOPE...he will not hold up the constitution...I cant believe a man with SO MANY controversies could ever be elected..What a freaking snow job.Its like watching a bunch of teenagers at a rock concert...Totally uninformed...this is getting dangerous now.
I also read something about MARTIAL LAW and CONCENTRATION CAMPS that are at this time already built and ready to go right here in our country and in other countries that they will ship us too..They were prepared for Christians, Patriots..gun owners who will not give up their guns and those who wont go along with the One World Order..pretty scarey stuff...dont get mad at me...investigate!! | |

Yea...that was the point I was trying to make...those who dont know any better are duped by the anti gun politicians & swallow their preachings without blinking...even though they themselves are also ignorant of facts & use hype & visuals to ramrod their beliefs on the public.
I also remember hearing accounts of GIs in WW2 using the 30-06 Springfield against Germans in forest warfare. The Germas with their MP 42 "assault weeapon" machine guns spraying hundreds of rounds of lead through the air with abandon, hitting nothing at all with it, while the GI would take aim at that very same German hiding behind a tree, pulling the trigger & firing his 30-06 roung THROUGH the tree killing the enemy soldier WITH 1 SHOT. Cant do that with an AK-47.
Comparing the AK 47 to the 30-06 is like comparing a Corvette to a Maserati. Lets ban the Corvette because it looks far too powerful for Mr. & Mrs. Normal, but leave the Maserati alone...because those who own them seem to fit into a different, more acceptable & refined social class. What stupid reasoning. | |

PURE CONCENTRATED, UNADULTERATED FEAR!! F alse E vidence A round R eality
People who live operate and make decision based on fear is the worst thing one can do. Its sad. Its the essence of every problem we have in society. Very, very sad. | |

Did you REALLY buy that one?
Just listen to his plans....He actually plans to EXPAND our military influences all around the world....and how does he plan to pay? With our tax dollars..
Be prepared for CHANGE!!! Yes....it will be a change you arent going to like at all..Huge taxation....crippling to the American People forced like Serfs to supply money for the world..Yes....I said SERFS... Thats what our future is folks...
I really dont think thats the CHANGE you thought you were going to get...
Yes...the elites have used FEUDALISM to seperate us and now we will become SERFS for the WORLD GOVERNMENT...
Bye bye Country, Mom and Apple Pie...it may be over if we keep not wanting to face the truth...The Bible predicted these things to happen.
We must be disarmed in order for them to accomplish their goals... | |
|
| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/7/2008 12:25:03 PM | MUSICIANFRIEND... what are you sooooooo afraid of? You write Bye bye country, then LEAVE! Then you say the Bible predicated these things. Then if thats the case YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY! That Gods word is TRUE! So why all the PANIC and FEAR? The Bible says: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Do you not take God at his word? If your experiencing fear, it ain't from God! So relax. Geez... enjoy playing your music and focus on that instead panicking that Obama is going to BLOWUP the UNITED STATES. No matter how much you believe thats what he's going to do, its not going to happen. Oh by the way, show me in the Bible where it says OBAMA is going to send this country bye bye. Ridiculous. How do you leave the house being so afraid. | |
|
| The 2nd Amendment & Obama Posted: 11/7/2008 11:22:07 PM | Thanks for the pep talk razyr...I feel better now...Whew.
p.s. i dont remember saying anything about Obama blowing up anything...not nice to put words in ones mouth is it?
But I do study issues....and I know what I have read...and just because you dont know what I know does not make it not true. I have been following these issues since the 80's..
Maybe you should take a minute and listen to Obamas Berlin speech...It was nothing likethe speaches he gave here....
There definately is a plan for a Civilian National Security Force...I heard him say so...kinda sounds like the brown shirts of nazi germany...All I mentioned before is true..Dont be too apathetic because it scares you...We have to face reality.They are counting on us being apathetic because the average person wont do anything...then they will cry the loudest if things go wrong..
The plan is to disarm the American People...They cannot do that without changing the constitution...that is how Russia subjugated Europe...Promised them peace if they would disarm..then WHAM!!!! They were overthrown and thrown into miserable poverty..
Afraid? Nope..not really...I am pretty resilient...but I do not feel that a few men have the right to change the nation without our permission...They all act like they own it and we have nothing to say..
They have forgotten..they work for us...We are not their slaves..but it seems we are heading that way...we will be the Serfs for the world...Look up what that means..Serfs cause thats where we are heading according to Obamas speach he made in Germany...dont get all onto me...Take a minute and listen for yourself...they tell me what you think..Our politicians do not have the freedom to do what ever they want..At least I thought that..I might be wrong..cause they are doing it and have been for years...while we lay around fat and too stupid to do anything about it...We just let the foxes guard the hen house...Were too lazy to be involved in our government.
Obama...he is just another one of them...Hes in all the same elitist clubs...Shares those same goals of globalism...Hes the same as all his predicessors..Hes no different...Just a different man with the same goal..
How long are we to keep quiet so as not to offend anyone...How long? Until its too late?
Stop buying stocks in the stock market...That will kill the monetary intake of the large corporations trying to profiteer all around the globe...Do you realize how much money they would loose? Do you think that might wake them up?
You dont need a new car ever few years...Just drive the one you have into the dirt...Who cares about the Jones's...Let them spend all their money trying to impress everyone..big deal.
They expect us to remain fat and stupid..too scared to do anything.
Stop buying all that crap out of the stores...the junk from China... Insist on stores carrying American made goods...we buy to much junk. It all ends up in the land fill...I say make toys out of wood...biodegradable...better for the earth. Toooooo much plastic.
Get rid of videos and toys that do not promote group participation..I see kids sitting alone day after day on their computers...like little vegetables...making no friends..Not very healthy..How will they run the country when they grow up if they have no idea how to talk with other people and are to fat to move around.
I dont care what country your from...You live here now..you should support this country..The one that feeds us all..
Let me summarize:
1)Dont buy stocks in the stock market...your just making them richer 2)Dont buy junk from other countries until we get our own country strong again... 3)Drive your car until it drops. 4)Stay out of debt.. 5)Be prepared
Credit cards and debt is a new thing...It didnt gain momentum until about 20 years ago..When I was in my 20's..people didnt get in debt...Its a new thing...Not working to well either..People have already spent their retirements with all their equity loans...Theyve already ruined their futures...I know one person with $90,000 debt...Not for a house either...Just vacations...junk...stupid spending.
Now thats a start fellow Americans... God Bless America He used to when we invited him into our homes everyday...Thats when America was great and strong...Im clinging to my guns and religion...like thats a bad thing? I think its a good thing.and so do most Americans..Its the American way..ITs what made us great.... | |
