AssKKKroft and the NRA

I've often wondered why the NRA uses only a part of the second amendment in their logo. And I've wondered for years just exactly what part of "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State ..." the Supreme (extreme) Court and John (beaten by a dead guy) Ashcroft don't understand.

The 2nd Amendment is the second shortest of the amendments; only the 8th is shorter. It's a simple sentence, easily understood by even one with the most rudimentary grasp of the English language. As I read it, we get to own guns, but we have to take them with us when we join up with the modern-day militia -- the US military forces.

As I read it, we get to keep guns when they call us up to fight for our country's defense. Just as in the early days of this country, you should have to take your own gun and provide your own ammunition when you enlist. Heck, let's take it one step further. Wanna be an Army, Air Force, Navy or Marine pilot? Bring your own freakin' airplane or helicopter! The Constitution says you have to. Wanna be a captain of a Navy ship? Bring your own doggone boat, Davy Jones.

I cannot for the life of me figure out where and/or how that simple little 27-word sentence can be misinterpreted to mean I can buy an Uzi, a Glock 9, or any other weapon.

When I joined the militia ... uh ... I mean the Air Force ... back in 1967, they were already well-stocked with M-16s for us to play with.

Boggles the mind, it does!

Re: WHEN A BUSH IS BOUGHT, HE STAYS BOUGHT

Didn't George HW Bush make a big show out of resigning as a Life Member of the NRA back when he was President?

great site...I've always been against hand guns and automatic weapons, and I've been an ardent supporter of the Million Mom March for the past three years. I accessed your site through Buzzflash.com, the best site on the internet, and good company for Gun Guys to keep....my sister and brother-in-law are NRA members and we've had many arguments about guns, but I will always believe that too many unnecessary deaths of innocent people, usually children, are the result of the gun manufacturers' greed. It doesn't surprise me one bit that the bush dynasty is propped up by gun money (along with oil money, drug company money, etc.)...after all, junior is king of executions, knew about 9/11 (hence, the blood of 3,000 innocents on his hands) and continues to bomb the hell out of innocent citizens in Afghanistan....all for OIL. Guns are a natural extension of his swaggering, ridiculous, stupid, arrogant self. His daddy sits on the Carlylse Group board and they're just manufacturing BIG guns....they're all just little boys playing cowboy, but God Help us all with them in charage.

you can print my message if you want to but please don't print my email address...I get some crazies writing to me and it's scary

ps...up yours, Asscroft

What Hoplophobes Are Good For

Up until lately I thought that the Thumb Suckers and Bedwetters Brigade served no useful purpose to Humanity. Then I realized that these mavens of pusillanimity actually do the rest of us a service by providing easier fodder for predators, who will assault them rather than me and my family. May I suggest that those of you who believe the Police can protect you wear a sign saying "UNARMED" when out and about in public to display your convictions for all to see. I would far rather see you assaulted/robbed/raped than be attacked myself and have all the inconvenience of talking to the cops about the dead oaf on the ground.

Logic for the gun huggers

I wonder how the wingnut gun lovers explain away the fact of Britain and so many of the other countries that have strict gun control laws.

With the vast majority of homes there having no firearms, it must be a small miracle that home invasion robberies, rapes and rampant murder do not seem to be commonplace in spite of the absence of a trusty AK-47 behind every door...

Hmmm...

You have an interesting collection of gun stories in which there is an innocent victim. What is the possibility of giving equal space to the stories we see in other publications which show a favorable outcome of the use of private guns? I guess that would approach objectivity in reporting and that appears to be against your policy.

Hi,

I believe that the world would be a lot happier (and safer) place if there were no explosive weapons whatsoever. However, I understand why our founding fathers stated specifically that we are privileged to bear arms. The only way it is safe for the citizens to not have guns is for the government to not have guns. To just disarm the citizens would make for a more dangerous country than we now have.

Site of the month

Maybe the kid in the picture is pointing the rifle at a target while he is being taught to safely handle a gun. Do you have a problem with someone learning gun safety? If more kids were taught gun safety there would be fewer accidental deaths. Which, by the way, are currently far less than they were 25 years ago even though the number of guns in our country has increased. Guns are not the problem. Criminals that use guns are the problem. A gun is an inanimate object that can do nothing by itself.

If Guns are outlawed, only outlaws will be able to protect your life, only outlaws will be able to overthrow an oppressive government,form this country, defend our country, be able to arrest murderers and robbers, and only outlaws will be able to repel invaders. Sorry but it's not about hunting or even about self protection, think about what had just happened when they passed this amendment. They were also talking about the finest assault weapons available at the time!

Are all of your ilk as twisted as you?

I would like to congratulate you on being the most ignorant and ill-informed web site I've seen this month. If you are to pass along false information, at least warn viewers that it is purely for comedy relief. Thanks for wasting my time and I hope that you enjoyed me wasting yours.
