Ntheoc, the country of England believed that the state was all powerful too, and that a bunch of backwoods hicks could never challenge their control. Why do you see the individual today as less capable of challenging the all powerful state? 🙂

Mao Zedong’s dictum: “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” The rulers of every country realize that the only way to retain their control over the people is to monopolize the firearms.

======================================
This is already a done deal Katy,weak argument! No matter how many assault weapons and ammo you store down in your bunker, you will never be able to take on the gov’t. The real difference in our opinions is this Katy, I consider the children of CT victims, you consider them as collateral damage as long as you can keep your assualt weapons!!!

The Bushmaster AR-15 assualt rifle — the most popular rifle in America, according to gun dealers — was the weapon of choice for Adam Lanza and has increasingly played a role in recent rampage killings. Katy, these weapons hold large ammo clips and can fire as fast as your little fingers can pull the trigger

Wasnt his rifle ntheoc, it was his mothers who used it for sport shooting.

b Here’s a FACT: The shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary used an assault rifle that had been banned until 2004, when the NRA and the gun nuts forced Congress to allow the law to ban such weapons of mass destruction to expire.

In other words, he had the weapon he used thanks in part to the NRA.
Here is another fact, the shooter tried to buy multiple weapons a week before the shooting and was turned down, the laws worked in his case- the guns belonged to his mother who used them for sport shooting. Nice try Steve.

Katy says,
The ‘assault’ weapon is largely a misnomer. The term ‘assault weapon’ was invented by anti-gun fanatics to confuse those unfamiliar with guns between semiautomatic weapons, which fire once per trigger pull, and other kinds of rifles, which fire continuously.

Katy, these weapons hold large ammo clips and can fire as fast as your little fingers can pull the trigger.Also, they are easily able to be converted to “FULLY AUTOMATIC”. Reports have shown that most of the children were hit at least 11 times!!! Sorry Katy, there is no logical argument you can make as to why anyone other than police or military should own these type of weapons. But as long as you support the ownership of them then you will have blood on your hands! I will continue to support the innocent children and all innocent victims of gun violence. I’m sure the mass shooters of America thank you for your support.

It sounds like the same who advocate rights for the insane, would argue in a few years(arter getting toothless death penalty repealed) that a life sentence is too harsh, and life sentences need to have maximum years served.
I don t where Newsom stands on this, but I do know, based on this actions, that his morality is in the gutter.

Most of the anti-assault weapon legislation is actually toothless and rather meaningless, and is proposed to make the lawmaker look like some kind of hero in the face of a horrible tragedy. As I said earlier, it’s opportunistic.

Drunk driving is far more more dangerous and kills more people every year. This is political opportunism at it’s ugliest.

And what about the crazy people who are always the perpetrators of these kinds of heinous acts? Where are the opportunistic politicians when it comes time to talk about the insane and mentally ill? Instead we now call them ‘homeless,’ and pay them Social Security.

This is a government created problem.

“……will allow the Nazis or the Communists or even our own American government…”

You imply these are three separate and distinct entities.

I used to think so. As of late I am having my doubts.

Katy, there is NO reason that civilians need assault weapons, 100-clip magazines, armor piercing bullets, etc., in order to hunt or protect their families. Anyone who truly believes that stopping someone from owning an assault rifle–hardly a draconian law–will allow the Nazis or the Communists or even our own American government to invade our homes may be too delusional to own a gun in the first place.
