Brenda, I agree. Most right wing pundits do more harm than good to their respective causes, especially when reasonable people catch them in outright lies. The problem is the alternative source of information is left wing pundits, who use the exact same tactics.

Interesting that the huffpo article you cite was posted on 4/11 and goes on to say in the very next paragraph, “That language of the bill is still being crafted.”
Wouldn’t it be easy for all these so-called news agencies to post a link to the actually bill and let people read the entire “language” for themselves instead of feeding us what they want us to know? But then, that would expose all the other vote-buying crap that’s in the bill. What happened to Obama’s 2008 campaign promise that all legislation would be made public? What happened to the republican’s glorious “Contract with America”?

Left and right, politicians and pundits, they’re all liars. They cater to their special interests groups and their audiences, and say what’s expected of them. It’s how they keep their job, therefore they think it IS their job. It’s disgusting.

Someone needs to reming Obama that criminals do not obey the law. If it is a crime to have gun, then only the criminals will have them. Ask the guys who defended their propery during the Rodney King riots if their stores wouldnt have burned down if not for them standing guard with their AK-47s. The cops were nowhere to be found, and only the armed citizens were providing protection.

“its to get the guns away from criminals”

Very true, KF. That mantra rings true to most decent citizens, and most everyone can agree with it in principle. Criminals shouldn’t have guns, right? That is, until we start defining “criminals”. It’s a divide and conquer technique used by cultures throughout history. it’s being used in the porn industry TODAY (ref: the vague “obscenity” cases), in the so-called “sex offender” database (seriously, pissing in public or getting caught with a hooker is lumped in with pedos?), and this whole “war on drugs” bullshit. Criminalize a certain group because their ideas or actions don’t agree with “decent” folks. Do it one group at a time, and nobody will stand up for that group. When it comes time to attack your ideas and freedoms, the previous groups are already criminalized. Pretty soon, the government has effectively disarmed most of the citizenship. All with the unsuspecting approval of “90% of the population”. What part of “will not be infringed” is so hard to understand?

And Eric, you’re correct. A small militia with hunting rifles, or even semi-auto ar15’s or ak47’s wouldn’t be able to withstand a military attack. But how many good soldiers do you think would remain in service when it comes time to attack private citizens on our own soil? Mike rightly mentioned the “mental illness” aspect of some of these bills. You think maybe there’s a reason our government wants to diagnose as many ex-military personnel as possible with PTSD (or whatever the correct term of the day is). We certainly can’t have trained warriors running around with guns, not when we’re finished with them, anyway, right?

Personally, I took an oath many years ago, to defend our constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I don’t recall there being an expiration date on it.
