Are the Second Amendment "rights" of Americans really being "threatened" - or is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing, reactionary base "fired up" for 2012?

Yes sir. (?) Starts @ noon & lasts until about 3:00 p.m. or we get bored!

Roscoe are you talking Columbus Ohio? I am working Sat.

Just a reminder good citizens of Marietta & the surrounding environ: Saturday @ noon on the block around the Capital.

It's time to get off the sidelines, do more than type your opinion & put a face to the voice. See you there!

WWRD , or what would Romney do ??? Do you really think he'd do any different ??

Collective punishment is the punishment of a group of people as a result of the behavior of one or more other individuals or groups.

In the wake of the attacks on America on 9/11/2001, the federal government’s response was, in part, the greatest assault on individual liberties and privacy in a generation. The result was the Patriot Act, unprecedented monitoring of our personal lives, indefinite detentions and the compilation of government databases that threaten our freedom in truly disturbing ways.

Now, in the wake of Newtown and other tragic criminal acts, President Obama is again reacting by trying to make government bigger and freedom smaller. Issuing a raft of Executive Orders, attempting to legislate around the 2nd Amendment, and proposing new and more intrusive ways to track us in our daily lives will not make us -- or our kids -- safer. It will only make us less free.

Restricting the rights of free and law-abiding Americans is not a solution to anything, and only makes government and its force more powerful. GARY JOHNSON, if you do not know who he is, might want to find out come next Presidential elect

Thanks for honesty, lts.yup, things are well. I am getting ready for the annual transition from grey and brown to green.i gotta run, my lead is molten. (-:

I tried to tell people not to vote for this idiot obama again and that he was going for your guns.

The Sheriff in one of the Oregon counties says he will not enforce the phony and unconstitutional order. All law enforcement should do the same.

Its all good LTS enjoy !

munster, i appreciate your effort at not stereo-typing all republicans, but i would be hard pressed to find a comment from you on here that doesn't...except for your previous claim and even then you say they seem to join! anyway, we all have an opinion and for now have the right to voice it...well mostly have the right...but not without a penalty for offending the offended. i will admit that i admire the few democrats that are willing to step beyond the radical party-line and vote with their conscience and constituants. the same for me applies with the mixture of independents and tea-party folks that identify with the republican party. although you and many of your democrat friends villify those "mean ol' racist tea-party" people. anyway, i am going to sneak some burgers on the grill while we have a short break in the rain. i do enjoy our exchanges and hope you are well.

LTS , I do try not to throw all under one basket but you have to admit , they all seem to want to get under there with their buddies ! I'm sure there are some open minds and free thinkers over there but it seems to be frowned on ! Convict Grover !!!

schools has failed a good many of our people. why not change the education and the way that the mentally challenged are managed. there are so many students that should not be in the normal school system, but inclusion and integration was part of the grand scheme of making everyone "feel" the same and be a winner. well, we are all not the same and never will be. sorry for the rambling...maybe an i'm doing o.k. would have been all that was needed.

neither have or should borrow are going to be spent as a token to "just do something" to appease many of the "public" and should poll nicely. while gun violence and death is not appealing, why not consider that 36% more people died from aids last year than from gun related homicides. what successful actions did we do to address or eliminate that uncomfortable statistic? did we remove the tools by which it spreads? no, not really. one last thought for the moment.....all of our county middle and high schools have county sheriff deputies in them everyday. the only thing they need to add is a firearm. up until now, the students unruliness created the need since we removed the ability of the teachers and pricinples to maintain civility. when i went to high school, about 15% of the students had a rifle or shotgun in the gun rack of their truck. we had ourr share of conflicts and fist-fights and never once did anyone retrieve their weapon. the social experiment in the sch

good afternoon to you moderation. i am doing fine. it has been rather rainy here and i have found myself migrating more to the computer and the mt forums than i probably should. i hope your sporadic participation is due to fruitful endeavors and not troublesome times. as with most folks on the right, i have been observing what the president will be trying to accomplish in his lame-duck term. he reminds me of the islamists in that they will tell you what evil they will do. the down-side with them is they will not give exact dates and times! the NRA while not perfect is trying to maintain what many members view as their right. i think that any of the concessions over the years that the nra and gun owners have given has shown an ability for them to compromise. many of the executive orders that have been announced deal with the healthcare law and paving the way for your "doctor-patient" privilage to be destroyed. as evidenced by a couple of his mandates, federal dollars that we

Good morning lts- are you ok? I could not help but notice that you are much more active in you mt's forum participation. and speaking of firearms, that nra app just put another hundred pounds of lead on that anchor that is connected to the collective legs of its' leadership.and, they are rapidly approaching deep water. the public polls have taken on quite a significant change in a few short weeks.

Sure, if you want go back to acting out as cyber bully again, moderation. Cheeezz!

why then do you do it to republicans? live what you believe and say munster.

Just so you know there are some very libertarian people who dont believe in firearms at all , and are vegitarians , etc !You cant pidgeon hole people into what some have envisioned because that would cause some to be WRONG again !!
