gun control in the usa

I agree with you about due process. It seems like a nice thing to just "shewt em all". But it's either a grab for power or extremely emotional, non-logical thinking.

I like the idea of gun ownership as it helps keep govt accountable to the people ( well in my assessment anyway ). But get rid of due process in a country that is farther and farther away from uniformity in its morality. Ouch!!

Funny how Libs and Conservatives think alike. They both have the same knee jerk reaction to problems. With Libs the power grab takes the form of illegalizing gun and for Cons it is making all drugs more illegal. They either hold the gun accountable or the drug accountable. But their fundamental system of accountability is the same.

So very alike they are.

Maybe the NORML folks should adopt this slogan:

Drugs don't kill, people do.

How would that come across to y'all?

Well, so far as we know, anyway, they haven't been pulling that stuff on any of us citizens. But since they're capable and willing to do it to others who they consider enemies ...

To who? Our right to possess arms is the ultimate warrant that our government governs only with our consent. The fact that our government (Sotomayor, anyone?) seeks to disarm us should slap us into conscientiousness folks. Helllo? Is this thing on?
Is our government afraid to trust the people with arms? Why? Tyrants have accomplished their purposes without much resistance by disarming the people, and making it illegal to keep arms.


The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.
