Obama Calls for Permanent Assault Weapons Ban to Combat Inner-City Violence

[JhankG]

As I have already stated, I do not agree with any ban on guns. I simply wish that Bush was not my president and I would take Obama over him any day. Apparently many Americans agree with me by the looks of Bush's approval rating.

Nothing.

The Second Amendment does not say "The Right to Keep and Bear government-approved arms shall be disregarded as soon as there are enough sheeple out there who can be occupied with 'more important issues than gun control' "

This is how gun bans get passed. If all gun-owners flat out refused to vote for a candidate that advocated banning guns, there would quickly be no more candidates advocating bans.

Yep,
I just didn't want to look up the exact wording
IMO they take away without true concern for freedom and liberty. They shelter their position in twisted statements designed to invoke fear.
The amnesty bill was a prime example of this. The trash talk about having to do this now or else, was a bunch of baloney. They refuse to enforce current laws that would provide additional levels of safety. Why? Is it because the current laws do not contain additional levels of control, or is it something else? The rush to push that bill through the house and senate leads me to believe there were items within it that were masquerading in special wording.

Since most of these kids that have issues with crime don't go to school or pay attention in school, they don't get the safer sex education either and continue to increase the population of people who don't contribute to society, they merely feed off of the socialist handouts and crime.

Yea, the stuff they teach these days sometimes makes me wish I could be a teenager again. I'd gladly volunteer for condom practice

By definition, I'm a liberal and I advocate unrestricted open/concealed carry and unrestricted fully automatic weapons sales. Basically, if you are capable of lifting the weapon by yourself, without any mechanical aid, I think it should be legal to own.

Exactly how I feel and I also consider myself to be a liberal.

But you feel like a government that oppresses you is better than a government that kills oppressors in other countries?

[JhankG]

Are you saying that you are willing to sacrifice the lives of our nations children just so you can tote around your AK? I think we are talking about picking the lesser of two evils here.

I'm going to pretend you didn't try that rhetorical hook and instead answer the real question that I know you meant to ask.

Yes, it's sad when any courageous American is hurt or killed. Even more so when it's not obvious WHY they're marred. Fact is: We put Hussein in power, and we're having the damnedest time cleaning up the mess. Sucks but it's our country's responsibility to correct the mistakes it has made.

I want freedom everywhere: In Iraq and here in the States. Some people pay the ultimate price for freedom -- but they do so willingly because they're awesome/wise enough to know that something of ultimate value demands ultimate sacrifice.

You may not understand or appreciate that and that's okay. That's proof that we still have a healthy amount of freedom left in this country -- enough at least to ensure that fascism doesn't obliterate your will to see the regretable truths of living.

Yeah... I'm also a "liberal" with some perspective on "the war."
