Guns!

[Craig]

I disagree. Witness the 1946 Battle of Athens, Tenn.

You disagree with the bible...

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. — Isaiah 2:3-4

In many cases, I do disagree with the Bible. I'm not a member of the religious right, and I think Biblical justifications for actions should never stand alone.

I'm not certain what that has to do with a discussion of gun control. It doesn't have much to do, frankly, with Scott County Gun Club Christmas cards that Zoar has been so busily providing us. None of them references Christ, save in saying "Merry Christmas," and none contains any religious images (U.S. courts have ruled that Santa Claus, regardless of that character's history, is a secular image).

I do, however, think that the quote you provide from Isaiah is forward-looking. It is not advice to people currently to drop to turn their swords into plowshares. It is a prediction of what will happen when "Kingdom Comes." Even a much more religious person than I am would point out that Kingdom has no yet come.

Yeah...I said it was an absurd notion.

Too funny.

Nah; been there done that (kingdom). But with some luck and help from the French Navy we freed ourselves of rule by kings and gods.

God in these parts is The Constitution, as seen through the prophets on the Supreme Court. (Note: supreme. Very telling I'd say, what with God previously being thought thus.)

Here, this is to make Trappy smile. He likes looking at guns, santa and right wing nuts:

I don't think most people in the U.S. today worry too much about the Merry Christmas referencing a "Christ mass" -- at the very least, my Baptist friends who don't attend mass have no problem with the term.

The Republican Right Wingers on here really dig the imagery of GUNS THREATENING TO KILL PEOPLE ON CHRISTMAS! Machine guns serve one purpose to kill PEOPLE. Righties love blending it with ChristmasTime:

 

[Zoar]

This is HOW Righties say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Where is there imagery of guns threatening to kill people? Come to that, how would a gun go about "threatening" someone? Is there a magician out there somewhere who can give a gun intelligence, a personality, and a desire to make threats?

Machine guns have a purpose other than killing people. Shooting them is about as much fun as you can have. There is little on earth as much fun as punching holes in a junked car with an M-60. It's a pastime that damages only two things -- the old junked car and the wallet of the shooter (feeding anything full-auto is as expensive as hell).

Which is a moot point -- most of you will never see a fully automatic weapon, much less have the opportunity to shoot one. They aren't statistically significant contributors to crime, murder, suicide or any other violent behavior in the United States.

I assume these Kiwis from the Vintage Aviator antique aircraft collection also arouse your fear of firearms?

I remain utterly baffled about our fascination with guns.

I can stick a photo-shopped Santa hat on anyone and transform it into a look of Christmas. But all the Right Wing Idiots posing with Santa and machine guns and killing devices were NOT photo shopped. Trappy, what the eff is wrong with you?

I'm baffled by people who do macrame, or collect postage stamps, but I don't try to interfere with their activities.

I didn't photoshop that picture. You can find it at www.thevintageaviator.com

The families of the Scotsdale Gun Club you keep insulting haven't done anything you can document to harm anyone. I'd say your concern is deeply misplaced.

Machine guns are illegal for citizens unless with a Federal Permit...........problem here is progressives don't know the difference between a toy gun and a machine gun.........just the word GUN makes them run to mommy with tears in their eyes√

Yet another false or utterly contrived and stretched equivalent from our resident Right Wingers. Dawgy the more you post the scarier dumb you show yourself to be.
