Election Day 2012: I Voted for Kodos

[quote name='Cantatus']They should just let a state secede and see how long it takes for the state to come crawling back once they realize how much they depend on federal money or things like water and power from other states.[/QUOTE]

Not long I'd imagine. So many people in this state need medicare and social security that they'd be running to the nearest border the moment it was announced most likely.

Gun Sales Spike After Election

Though any gun control legislation would face a tough battle in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, the uncertainty means stores are seeing customers flock to get their hands on the guns now.

Doesn't that just say it all. Are websites like gunbanobama.com meant to generate an artificial bubble in sales or to educate the masses on a legitimate concern?
To me its like watching some sort of deranged cannibalism. Introduce fear and claim your rights are in jeopardy , watch gun sales rise , more gun sales = more guns : see gun violence rise in places like Chicago , see the President then address said gun violence and violent crimes .. rinse , repeat.
 
It's all a racket, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that some of the biggest fear mongers also own stock in gun companies. Scare people into thinking something is going away, they buy it in droves, you profit as the stock prices rise for manufacturers of that product. i just wish I'd thought to buy in sooner.
 
The same gun sale spikes happened in 2008. I should have bought a gun store last month.

I too like to get mad about things that may possibly potentially happen in the future at a date that can't be quantified. Just think about all the rage I can generate now about events that represent a conceivable probability, especially when I have virtually no basis for thinking as much.

What? The price of igloos skyrocketed following the great Fishpeople invasion of 20xx? RHARJHAJHRJAHRJAHRJH, BETTER MAKE SURE I HAVE MY ANGER READY TO GO NOW.

Except that he could push it through with an executive order, like he has in the past.

Did nobody watch the video I posted where he clearly states the need for another AWB?
 
No need to , I saw him say it live.
Whats wrong with another AWB?
I know the right likes to claim it didnt work ,..But thats only because the brunt of gun violence doesn't come from assault weapons. Its almost as if we'd allow them to make their case against a new AWB, they'd talk their way into a handgun ban
 
Really? Even though his AR jammed using a 100rd drum magazine, after which he switched to non AWs?

Sorry, it's not a fact, and just because you say it is doesn't make it so. He could have achieved the same with your average semi-auto hunting rifle.

It's because the King Queen of England could walk in through your door any day now and claim it for the Empire.
 
So you basically admit that assault weapons don't serve any extra purpose for defense a regular weapon or handgun would offer, but when legislation to RE-INSTATE an assault weapons ban is mentioned (for fucks sake, there was one under REAGAN), there goes the farm because you may need them to overthrow the government one day? If the guy who killed six and injured 19 including Giffords didn't have an assault weapon and instead a standard weapon, there is no chance he'd do the damage he did. People had to cower for their lives and wait til he had to reload to take him down. Before you go into emphasizing how the argument was spun, the point is any reform through Congress is unlikely. Never said there wouldn't be trying. And yes, anyone with half a brain cell or iota of compassion sees the need for reform.

Because, the only thing that makes an AW an AW is having a detachable magazine AND two evil features (pistol grip, flash hider (or threaded barrel), bayonet lug or retractable stock). Tell me how those things would make any weapon deadlier than a semi-auto hunting rifle without evil features? There's nothing hypothetical about it until you can draw a distinction.

I posted the video so that you could see it explained, so that I wouldn't have to type it all out. Why go through the trouble of explaining it when it has already been done? I have yet to hear why you think it's incorrect.

First of all, the guy in Arizona didn't have an assault weapon. He had a pistol, so by legal definitions, he HAD a standard weapon.

You're missing the point, and it's that AWs are no more dangerous than any other gun. Not only that, but they're used in far fewer crimes, and not just crime in general, but gun crimes, than you're average non-AW.

As I said before, Obama doesn't need congressional approval, he could push it through by EO.

Again, with so few crimes committed with these weapons, WHERE is the need for reform? It's a useless ban that doesn't do anything to curb gun violence, both in the fact that so few crimes are committed with them AND the fact that if someone is looking to commit murder, they're not going to give two shits about gun laws!

I'm sure they were worried about both, but the second had nothing to do with foreign tyranny. Jefferson said this many times (to be clear, I'm not saying Jefferson said THAT, but read his writings, it was domestic tyranny that kept him up at night).

Jefferson was pretty introverted (not jingoistic in today's phrase, but for back then) in his view of other world countries. If you look at things like Washington's farewell address, he warned against factions tearing apart the country and government through violence. I think the argument can be made both ways, but I still think the practicality of having an armed public was the most important, or atleast a very large, factor in the 2nd Amendment. Either way, I think it needs to be taken with a grain of salt today.

A high capacity mag does not an assault weapon make.

By the way? The Virginia Tech shooter used 10-round magazines. He killed twice as many as the Aurora shooter.

But yeah, I get it, lets make things illegal for everyone because of the 1% who abuse them.

Totally forgot that point, maybe the biggest crux behind AWR is also to lower magazine sizes, which generally hold a larger capacity on AWs.

Unless you live in NYC or a few other cities with handguns restrictions, I doubt that it's as bad as you pretend it to be. NY guns laws are pretty relaxed compared to those in MA.

So maybe he was a better shot and had guns that didn't jam up on him? A hi cap mag isn't the only thing that defines what an assault weapon is? No shit and that wasn't my point?

Hey dumbass, we don't have what the military has. They have select fire weapons, we have semi-automatic weapons! Just because they look similar doesn't make them the same, no matter how much statists perpetuate the lie.

Luckily, the life that I do live isn't dictated by what Clak thinks I need. Unlike you, I believe that decision falls with me, right? Right to choose and all?

I'm glad you exposed the truth behind all this. Statists like you embrace the nanny state and relish the idea that they have all the guns. That way, when the state tries to tell us what's best for us, resistance will be an impossibility, and their monopoly on violence will continue.

Maybe you're right about them having more guns an ammo than us, but that malady won't be solved with us having fewer guns. I'll keep my AWs and take my chances.

Don't want an AW? Don't have one.

Basically, you know those deep on the right who are slightly crazy and think there's a secret shadow government that controls everything and watches you sleep through your TV at night?

The deep left believe the same thing, except they think the secret government is ran by Walmart, AT&T, the RIAA and Disney.
