• NRA President: No Way an Assault Weapons Ban Will Pass…Unless Obama Uses ‘All the Power of His Office’

  January 13, 2013 at 11:45pm

  In reply to Guitar Master.

  It says a well regulated Militia, not well regulated arms.

  “The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that… it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”
  –Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824.

  “One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.”
  –Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1796. ME 9:341

  “A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the Body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind . . . Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.”
  –Thomas Jefferson, Letter to his nephew Peter Carr, August 19, 1785.

  “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms (within his own lands or tenements).”
  –Thomas Jefferson: Draft Virginia Constitution with (his note added), 1776. Papers, 1:353

  “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
  –Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).

• Iowa Lawmaker: Ban Semi-Automatic Weapons, Then ‘Start Taking Them’ From Gun Owners if Needed

  In reply to PDX Entrepreneur.

  First of I do have a dog in the fight. I have a family member that is on the registry for a misdemeanor offense. I don’t agree with what he did however he has done his punishment and is no threat to anyone. The issue is that you are so quick to scream bloody murder when someone attacks your rights but don’t come to the defense of others when theirs are attacked. If you can’t defend even those that have bean Scarlet lettered, you’re being a hypocrite. Whether you like it or not they still have rights under our constitution (and whether the rest of America like it or not we gun owners still have rights)

• Iowa Lawmaker: Ban Semi-Automatic Weapons, Then ‘Start Taking Them’ From Gun Owners if Needed

  I am for the second amendment, but we need to stick up for the whole bill of rights and everyone, evens those we don’t like!

  This is why the think they can get away with treating gun owners like Sex Offenders. If you can demonize one group of individuals and get away with it you can do it to any group of individuals;

  This is the attitude of our politicians in terms of trampling on our rights now “You always start with sex offenders because nobody is going to stick up for sex offenders,” State Rep. Chip Baltimore (R-Boone) America wake up and start depending everyone’s rights

  Maybe it’s time you stopped being hypocritical and stuck up for every one, even those who are Scarlet Lettered today. Take away some peoples rights it leads to all our rights being limited or taken from us.

  Ben Franklin said in a letter;

  “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little
  temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Once a
  Right is gone, it is gone.
