Guns

Threes and I didn't post the entire article is that it's in AOL article which don't usually translate well to the BB
“Okay, I’ll take that deal,” Colbert said. “Let's regulate guns the way we regulate alcohol and cars. You got to be 21, got to pass a test to get a license, you got to have registration and insurance for your gun. If you move to a new state, you got to do the whole damn thing over again, and you can't go out loaded.”
Politicians love to grandstand and they love to make laws they are not, unfortunately, 3 good enforcing them.
Sure we would be safer if you had to be 21 to drive a car. Or own a firearm. OK. And I am all for training and testing. But face it gun laws are just meant to piss off those on the right. We might even be better off if you had to be 21 to vote.
Of course murder drunk driving speeding and some recreational drugs are currently against the law. Of course the penalties are basically revenue sources for communities rather than safety precautions.

Of course Colbert is under the mistaken impression that you need to be 21 to drive.

Phil Robertson: Gun confiscation would DESTROY our national security
'America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of fire power'

And the "most heavily armed people" didn't revolt? I wonder why.
Yawn- when guns are illegal, only criminals will own guns. Heard that one before X 1,000.
I have a gun and I can stop 'em. Tell that one to the dead officer in Boulder. It won't help you Quick Draw McGraw CCP in the parking lot if the guy with the 556 NATO shoots you in the back first.

What about the guy with the. 38 revolver? Or the .22 rifle?
What about if some fine young african youth runs up and hits you with a brick?
Maybe begging for your life on your knees will help you.
You're pathetic and I have no more respect for you.

Unfortunately the response of the liberals the left the democrats the crazy people to shootings is to piss off people who foolishly believe that the 2nd amendment is a thing. I know Cal disagrees with me but I think the 2nd amendment has been dead for a long time. When the Supreme Court says it's perfectly fine to put restrictions on any freedom, that freedom no longer exists.
The debate is even more cynical because there are a handful of mass shootings by all sorts of crazy people with all sorts of weapons. None of which would be slowed or stopped by any of the proposed restrictions. On the other hand hundreds of thousands of people dead in the streets at the hands of 13% of the population and nary a word.
So they probably wont take your guns away today or tomorrow but it's coming. And no we are not going to protect ourselves from a government that overreaches. That ship sailed decades ago. We are no better than we were in 1740.
Assault weapons are only assault weapons because somebody made up a fake name. But they are just the thin end of the wedge the target is semi automatic, like everybody's 1911 style pistols and then pistols themselves. They will chip away the freedom till it's gone.
It really doesn't matter how angry or happy it makes any of us.

Heard a blip from Cancun Cruz. We're not coming for your six shooter Ted. As I mentioned- nothing got done since Sandy Hook. So if the Republicans are OK with the status quo we're going to continue having the occasional carnage. Great- just hope you're not in the line of fire the next time. Believe me, I can relate to the Boulder situation- as I saw it happen here in Dayton three miles from my house. Stuff like that quickly gets lost on the short attention spans.
There's a reason we have more homicides and mass shootings than any other civilized country in the world- per capita, we also have the most guns. Short of doing a top secret security check on someone who wants to buy a gun, it wouldn't work. Boulder shooter is Exhibit A. Hey- you need a license to drive a car, but having to have a license to own a gun? Damn- that's restricting my freedom!!! Gee, that's what is largely the case in Canada, and that country hasn't gone to hell because of it. And an "assault" weapon isn't just some cute made up term. Would paramilitary weapon suit you better? The army doesn't go into battle with bolt action 30\30s, or shotguns Steve.
Yeah- Republi-can'ts are pro life, except when it comes to guns.
PS- regarding the 2nd Amendment, sure we have restrictions. For good reason. If certain items like 30 caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, and other assorted military items were available to the general public- there's always going to be enough crazies out there who would actually use them. I pointed it out way back. Golly gee, I can't just go out and by a ton of ammonium nitrate (it's a great fertilizer BTW) anymore. Because Tim McVeigh used it to blow up a building. Shoes in the airport because of one crazy. Tamper proof packages because- as my Doc pal pointed out- someone slipped some cyanide in an Excedrin bottle. Too bad Steve that we have to spend billions in added costs and lost time every year because of a handful of evil crazies.
