Thanks for stopping by.
The thinking ...Jaded. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. <br /><br />The thinking of the opponents to gun control is one of fear - fear that they'll lose the "power on the hip" which seems to somehow equate to "power between the legs."<br /><br />The interesting thing about most out of control gun law advocates is the theory that having weapons will prevent a government takeover, yet a government take-over happened years ago and I have yet to see any one of the proliferation nuts stand up, guns a blazing to prevent it. <br /><br />I often wonder what (or perhaps IF) people are thinking when they envision an uprising of armed individuals – a few trained and lightly armed amongst many untrained and very lightly armed against a highly trained and massively armed military whose job it would be to quell any rebellious efforts on the part of the former?<br /><br />In the meantime, we slaughter one another in OK Corral fashion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829283375082711360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23257473.post-12728824569049528812012-04-15T10:52:36.852-07:002012-04-15T10:52:36.852-07:00First I need to say that I qualified as expert wit...First I need to say that I qualified as expert with the .45 cal automatic and the M16 rifle in the army, and I am not against ownership of hunting rifles (although I personally deplore the sport). However, automatic weapons and handguns have one purpose only...to kill other human beings.<br /><br />What the loverly NRA and other proponents of insane gun worship ignore is exactly what you point out, that at the time of the Constitution, guns were a necessity, but no longer are. Let me add this...the population of the United States was at about 3 million in the late 1700s. It is now over 310 million! In other words, we are in very close proximity to one another, particularly in urban areas, as opposed to the early years of this country. The macho Dodge City mentality that anyone who wants one, can carry a sidearm, is craziness...based on the population fact alone.<br /><br />I simply do not understand the thinking of opponents to gun control, and I definitely do not understand "stand you ground" laws and gun carrying permits for any and all.
