I was actually quoting neci..... last part was mine.
As long as you use lots of baby oil for the photos, you can quote whoever you like.

Yes, that's what internal and external militias are for.
The military have their guns. The police have their guns. My neighbors have their guns. I've shared dinner with killers and have lived to talk. You have your guns, and irregardless of all the hype, you will be able to keep your guns. While regulations may change the type of weapon allowed in your home, no one will take them all, as long as the constitution remains the law of the land. With your comment about Mr. 9mm, you try to scare me into believing I need a gun. To that I say, fuck you. Take your fear and shove it up your ass. Putting more guns on the streets and in homes with children is not going to keep us safer. It just breeds more fear. The same gun makers whose guns murder children applaud you in doing their work for them.

No photos...sorry. It is lunch time and I prefer to not make everyone sick!
Now you're just fishing.
I'm not even against gun control
It's difficult to stop violence being the bottom line to every disagreement, but it is the right thing to keep trying.
I actually agree with that. I have never even held a weapon...felt no need to. I do feel the need now to be trained in how to use and take care of one. I don't fear others as much as I am growing in distrust of the government.....

Good stuff!
Why is that good? I thought you were a prohibitionist?
If it were to come down to a civil war, you will find me on the front lines advocating for a peaceful resolution. You will find me caring for the victims. You will find me with camera and paintbrush in hand, documenting unnecessary carnage, with the hope our children don't make the same mistakes.
I would hope you would be safe on the front lines.......

Is English your second language?
Taking all the assault rifles would accomplish the goal of taking all the assault rifles.
As I said, I think your Constiution's interpretation would be better-served by having all firearms stored at local Armouries.
When has the battlefield of peace ever been safe?
Are you or are you not in favor of ending private ownership of weapons?

*sigh*
This is why I tend not to get too involved in political arguments on lit.
Yes I am. And yes, you are.
No I'm not...I'm for regulation, training and licencing just like we do with our machine guns, which magically we don't have any problems with.
I never once advocated prohibition....that's bat shit right winger philosophy adopted by mostly left wing folks out of fear and ignorance.
I meant yes, you're confused.
I doubt it ever has been. I would just hope that you would be safe in your pursuit of peace without violence....if it ever came to that.
Would rather go down swinging than wind up a martyr any day of the week.
Neci, I'd be doing the same thing, but with words rather than images. We'd make a good team. And in the bargain, you get me armed as well, working hard to keep us both safe while we document the horror and foolishness and senseless waste of our countrymen killing each other.
I agree that the pen is mightier than the sword, but I never understood why I had to choose one or the other. Both are excellent tools in the right situation.
As American citizens, we are some of the safest in the world when it comes to advocating for peace. We don't have to fear our doors being knocked in and our children being killed, just for speaking out against the government. We can post freely on the internet and we can let our voices be heard in public. There are so many places in the world where peace advocates risk their lives on a daily basis, just to be heard. We are blessed.
Agreed. I hope it stays that way
Enlighten me....
