| Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category Are "gun-rights" advocates who say they "need" combat-style weaponry to "protect the nation from dictatorship" dangerous anarchists who are endangering the REAL Second-Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans with their paranoid, anti-government rants?None of the recent suggested actions by the President or the Biden task force concerning universal background checks or the regulation of military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines poses a serious threat to the Second Amemdment rights of law-abiding Americans ... Yet, NRA honcho Wayne LaPierre, and the usual gaggle of hotheads that support him, say that Americans need to be "ready if necessary" to use these weapons to fight against "dictatorship". What "dictatorship"? This isn't Syria or Nazi Germany. The only actions relating to guns that President Obama took during his first term was to allow guns to be taken on board AMTRAK trains and brought into national parks ... Do the paranoid and delusional beliefs of some (though not all) gun-advocates disqualify them from being mentally sound enough to purchase or own guns? The 2008 "Heller v District of Columbia" ruling says that the government DOES have a right to prohibit mentally-defective Member CommentsTiredofitEducation is something you should have invested in MORON MUNSTER Posted 36 days ago. TiredofitA Republic A Republic, on the other hand, has a very different purpose and an entirely different form, or system, of government. Its purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individual’s God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of The Minority, of all minorities, and the liberties of people in general. The definition of a Republic is: a constitutionally limited government of the representative type, created by a written Constitution--adopted by the people and changeable (from its original meaning) by them only by its amendment--with its powers divided between three separate Branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Here the term "the people" means, of course, the electorate. Posted 36 days ago. TiredofitThe chief characteristic and distinguishing feature of a Democracy is: Rule by Omnipotent Majority. In a Democracy, The Individual, and any group of Individuals composing any Minority, have no protection against the unlimited power of The Majority. It is a case of Majority-over-Man.

They should enact criminal background checks for potential bombers, mental checks, registration of all bombers, and lets not forget the background checks of private bomb buyers at bomb shows. And oneill we are a Republic. Didn't we go through this once lol. Are you and munster brothers? What a couple of yayhoos you two are! haha! Posted 36 days ago.

BeRightMandatory background checks are a feel good thing and would not have prevented Newtown. According to the president, that what yesterday’s vote was about, preventing another Newtown. Yesterday’s vote was about gun control. When you have increased mandatory background checks, you have bigger lists of Americans on Gov’t lists. We can’t document illegals but we want to document gun owners. I have a better idea, let’s make a list of people most likely to use guns to kill other people. Only Newtown families who agreed with Obama got a free ride on AF1. Those who did not got to stay home. Posted 36 days ago. MunsterDo you really want me to drag the facts back up tiredbrain !!

Perhaps gun-control advocates needed this small setback to make them angry enough to use ballots against bullets and kick the "stupids" out of both Congress and the Ohio Statehouse in 2014! ... The crazy gun-fetishists can gloat while they can! There WILL be reform, even if it has to happen state-by-state! The "Connecticut Effect" is still in effect! Posted 36 days ago. oneillTired and the rest wouldn't know the meaning of "democracy" if it fell on their heads ... The Senate vote was 54-46 IN FAVOR of universal-background checks, but the gun-lobby stooges (in both parties) stacked-the-deck by using the unConstitutional filibuster gimmick that requires 60 votes to get anything done. This might be called the "totalitrianism of the minority" (which is partly Harry Reid's fault for not eliminating it when he had a chance in February). These tactics - including Gerrymandering districts and restricting voter eligibility - only indicate that rightwing fanatics like Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, Jim Inhofe, Ted Cruze, ad. nauseum care NOTHING for either democracy or The Constitution (James Madison wrote that simple majority-rule should be the order in Congress) ... Since the Manchin/Toomey Bill was flawed anyway (there were prohibitions against universal gun-registration and other items that had no teeth), it's back-to-the-drawing board where ev Posted 36 days ago.
