Thoughts on gun control

45/70 ammunition. It'll put the bear, or anything else which walks the Earth down pretty much where he stands,

I wouldn't feel defenseless with one, but if I had to go for a walk where I thought I might meet a bear, I'd want something with even more punch yet. A double rifle chambered in .470 Nitro Express sounds good.

If they allowed .577 Nitro Express in this country, that'd be even better.

You guys are good evidence why guns should be banned.

You really do know that there are Democrats who own guns, shoot guns and know about guns, right? You know that, right?

Problem is that demokkkrats (demokkkrat leaders) don't have any sort of a natural constituency which they could win elections with anymore and they don't represent anybody capable of really supporting a national party either in terms of votes or money, and so we see them being mainly supported by govt. workers unions and the trial lawyers' guild, trying to raise money in every country on Earth except this one in which they presumably live, trying to import third world voting blocks for themselves, and trying to cobble a faux majority together out offifty little oddball groups whose interests, most of the time, conflict.

ONE of those little groups is the anti-gun lunatics, and so to the dem leaders it doesn't really matter that many dems own guns, they will try to do the anti-gun thing anywhere they think they can get away with it.

You obviously know nothing about Democrats except what in your delusions.

I used to BE a demokkkrat, along with everybody else within five miles of where I lived, and it took me about ten years of living in the real world after college to grow out of it. That's when I STOPPED being deluded.

As a condition of its existence,
government was expressly deprived of any jurisdiction
to do that, so that sovereignty wud be in the hands
of the citizens, not their hireling government.

My arms and legs work OK. But I'm not into martial arts, and am probably a bit out of shape. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who could defeat me in bare-handed combat.

If someone does insist on attacking me, I see no reason not to use a tool to fight them.

I believe that is the human way of doing things. Other animals (say, tigers) evolved to be top predators by developing superior physical strength. Humans evolved to be top predators, not by developing strength equal to that of a tiger, but by developing intelligence and creating tools that they could use to attack other living things.

Perhaps the anti-gun people would have preferred we had evolved tiger-like strength instead of human-like intelligence. (Or perhaps they'd rather be prey.)

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !

Government is merely like a realty property manager
hired by the owners.

Maybe a pity if u favor the hireling over its parents
( who brought it into existence [ or their heirs ] ),
its bosses and owners, the citizens.

I am not aware of it.
I reject the concept,

Some of the Pro-Gun sorts do argue powerfully ... for the Anti-Gun lobby.
Thats the hell of stereotypes; some folks fit 'em real well.

You don't really think all Democrats hate guns or gun ownership, or that they want to take your guns,

There are a few Democrats who don't oppose the public's right to own automatic rifles (I should know; I'm one of them).

But the vast majority of them do.

You freedom-haters always get so uptight when you see free people enjoying their freedom.

And no one who has ever faced a charging bear has thought "I wish my gun was less powerful".

0 Replies

So what were the details of the situation that led you to be confronted with a charging bear?

Too close to the bars at feeding time?

There are plenty of lefties who support the right to own a gun, myself included. Like anything that's potentially dangerous or could be used for immoral, illegal purposes, I support gun control is all.

I agree with that 100%.
