Time to re-think owning a gun? Unless ur a moron...(or Dutch)
It's not about getting the government's blessing before a revolt. It's one of the things that makes this country great, the fact that the Founding Fathers codified the right of the people to remove the government should it become oppressive and tyrannical. The likelihood of it actually happening...yeah, that's a different story.Eraser wrote: So the government says that if they turn into tyrants, you have the right to take up arms against them? First of all, why would I need the government's approval if I wish to oppose them and overthrow them? Would people really go like "oh but the law forbids us to have weapons, so lets not revolt against our government"? Also, wouldn't the first thing a tyrant would do is scrap the constitution and impose a weapon ban?
Uh, maybe you should see Egypt, because that regime change was far from bloodless. It wasn't an open war, but it's not like the Mubarak regime just said "Oh, you want us to leave? Ok, just let us clean out our desks."Eraser wrote: Second thing, a revolution can be done without bloodshed. See Egypt.
Says who? You? With all due respect, kiss the darkest part of my big, white ass. You don't have the right to tell me how I should defend my home and family. You don't have the right to tell me to wait and verify whether or not someone that's broken into my home is carrying a weapon. The law (in NC, at least) states that if I feel that there's a threat of death or grievous bodily harm from a burglar deadly force is legal. Now, do I want to blow away another human being? Of course not. I wouldn't simply run at the intruder with guns blazing. But would I shoot someone if I felt they posed the aforementioned threat? Without a moment's hesitation.Eraser wrote: Also, there's no need for a weapon in defending your home if the other dude doesn't have a weapon either. And you say when the gov't fails to protect you. How do you determine if that is the case?

stumbled on that. going to have to check on this potentially spurious claim. so if that's true...MKJ wrote:wait what?whom the Supreme Court have ruled are under no obligation to protect you

Briliant little article for you morons to read. And the non-morons just to reconfirm how correct you were
That's how it always goes with arguments about movie violence. It's always someone else being desensitized – it's always "them", those "others", or "us" – never the person who wants it toned down. It's never "me". I've been desensitized. I've been numbed.
Wouldn't call it brilliant, but there are some truths in there.Don Carlos wrote:http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2012/aug/03/movie-violence-mass-shootings

No one needs a machine gun. But everyone has shit they don't need. Do we need the video games we play? No, but they're fun. Just like machine guns are fun. I own a few, and they're a blast to shoot. But I don't shoot them that much (mainly because ammo is damn expensive right now and going through 30 rounds in just a few seconds can be pricey). They're also a great investment. Resale value is extremely high and the collectible guns do nothing but become more valuable as the years go by...0psys wrote:Why would you need to own a machine gun?
My mental picture of you as a massively stupid redneck has almost solidified. All you need to do now is to vote for Mitt Romney, say how great Fox News is or profess the benefits of a war with Iran and your "right-wing moron" persona will be complete.xer0s wrote:Just like machine guns are fun.
