Guns!

[Gramps]

I finally reached a conclusion of what spawns the controversy.

Gun advocates have a need to own and keep guns as an edge against other people who own and keep guns. Under normal circumstances unarmed people are not to be feared while under normal circumstances those who are armed are to be feared.

So, that being the case those who say the problem is people and not guns err because by removi8ng the guns from the controversy there is no controversy.

Evidently fear is what motivates lots of gun lovers to arm themselves to their teeth. So, perhaps, it is neither guns nor people that fan the flames. Emotion must be the source. FDR's four freedoms included "freedom from fear" for Americans at a time when those fears were brought about by foreign powers threatening our lifestyle and NOW we arm ourselves as protection from fellow citizens.

Last year I disposed of my weapons. It was time. I hadn't used one of them in years, just something to take out of the cabinet and clean and oil now and again; having become conversation pieces. And d'ya know what? I haven't spent a single restless night fretting because I have no weapons at hand.

Guns! Gift from God. American as apple pie, motherhood and Toyota cars. I get sexually aroused just saying the word "guns."

Also protected in Bill of Rights, and SCOTUS agrees (key point)

Relax. Go to church. Hate Lefties, Obama (not one of us Lefties) and Gays.

It'll be okay. No one will take your gun. Maybe you lose it being a felon or wife beater. Otherwise, you'll be fine. No one will take your gun. I promise.

Much (too [Unwelcome language removed] much) ado about nothing.

Fact.

the fear is spread by the NRA and gun manufacturers. in their Jan, 2014 issue of America's 1st FREEDOM, the NRA warned that once Michael Bloomberg leaves office, that he'll devote ALL of his time and money to getting gun safety laws enacted.

they should be afraid as Bloomberg's Net Worth is $31 B as of September 2013. that's B as in billions.

what makes men fearful and paranoid such that they feel the need to carry a gun to feel safe?

Hmmmm? Well, God may have mentioned something about killing. I'm sure I read it somewhere. But I cannot be certain since it was a court house in Tennessee I seem to recall or associate the memory with. So, I have to be confusing something on a court house and projecting onto my church, The Church of Christ Following Christian's Fellowship of Christians of Christ Jesus Worshipping Jesus Christ Our Savior, which is where we hear from God in actual words that I live by and not some secular God hating courthouse in Tennessee or Haiti or whatever it was.

Whew. No need to respect you in the morning. So, no. I will shoot you at 12:01 in the morning and head to McDonald's for something to eat. Open 24 hours is so handy what with teen's doing school during the day, and learning about working at night, which will be so helpful in their future career in medical research. Plus coffee is cheaper with the pre apprentice wages McDonald's corporation adds as a gift in addition to the free education in how to work. Thank Jesus we have that kind of corporate citizenship. Those kids are truly Blessed. Praise Jesus... Name .. Christ God for giving us McDonald's to do Your work Lord Jesus.

In Christ's name Amen.

A pregnant woman was inside her home in Palmview, Texas when a pair of burglars approached the house. One thief went to the front door and rang the doorbell, while the other moved to a back door. After spotting the burglars, the homeowner retrieved a handgun and the telephone, and called the police. Eventually the woman fired at the intruders, causing them to flee. The thieves were captured a short time later after police cornered them in a nearby home. Following the incident, the homeowner told a reporter that she had initially been against her husband purchasing the handgun she used to defend herself, but noted that after the shooting she told him, “thank you for doing that.”

Surrendering POW's are routinely summarily disarmed.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, quite likely during the planning stages for the attack on Pearl Harbor, advised the other members of Japan's Imperial General Staff that they could not hope to succesfully invade America "Because they would be met by a rifle behind every blade of grass" How's your Japanese? You can thank the 'Greatest Generation' and its determination to remain independent and free that you only had to struggle with English Grammar and Literature during your school years.
Barack Obama is counting on your no longer wanting to remain independent and free like your predecessors, but now seek only a benevolent master instead.

"Why the gun is civilization.
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gangbanger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat–it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weightlifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.
When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation…and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act."

Nah. I'm cool with the 2nd just like I am all of the 1st... Others too covering for example a Woman's right to privacy, even her womb if no currently viable citizen is within her. But the fetus is at a point defined in law that in the eyes of the law can live independently of the mother and thus the State has an abiding interest in the rights of the then citizen de facto American. At that point, the mother cannot abort on demand but certainly can protect herself from harm by the fetus - - or an aggressor, even using a gun. (other right)

You see, my Rightie pic-posting friend, we who accept the laws the FF created which clearly state the Supreme Court (look up the word "supreme") interprets our laws and is the lone authority, Liberals for short, have a respect for The Constitution in the gestalt.

We do not cherry pick and then reject the Constitutional Authority of our high court.

Righties are the ones that ignore the Constitution and make up their own shit and call it Constitutional. (pure [Unwelcome language removed] hypocrisy)
