Are the Second Amendment "rights" of Americans really being "threatened" - or is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing, reactionary base "fired up" for 2012?

Its interesting to go back and look at the previous posts on this fourm and see how little has changed in the last 700 plus days since it was started. While the situation regarding gun rights has changed some, the arguments are nearly the same.

Happy New Year! May everyone have a joyous, prosperous and safe new year.

BTW , ignorant means you dont know !!! So try to learn and then you wont be ignorant !

What about preventing ignorant people from making comments on things they have no clue about !

"Preventing Monsters" (Parkersburg News and Sentinel)

What about preventing Munsters?

And as usual your rambling ! Now can you see why I sometimes confuse you with stiffminded ??

No,your just on the wrong forum !

Well free, some dasterdly devil must have deleted your post claiming you had a "typo!" If you did, I can't find it anyway. I might have offered an apology for calling you out, had you replied with even a touch of class. As if that's possible!

And, the Brady Campaign wasn't started by James Brady, or even his wife Sarah. A group called "Handgun Incorporated" ended up morphing into the Brady Campaign in the wake of Reagan & Brady being shot by Hinkley.

And, ironically, in all those years, they've claimed they never wanted to ban guns. Yet, everytime they get a chance, they try to ban guns! A really "trusted" group to belong to, as they sold their member e-mail list a few years back to marketers to raise money.

I saw calls for protests at last week's American Gun Show down in Virginia by another anti-gun group. That group failed to show, "Code Pink" showed up instead. It must have been the late call for protestors that hurt their numbers,

Again, greek, Brady had a most valid concern for firearms regulation. His life was basically ruined in a second. And you include him with the others as if he were merely a trouble maker.

Bob, correct me if I am wrong but the 2nd seems to have worked for about the last 237 years for us in the USA.

eve, not on the roof... That was a week ago!

A "Happy New Years Eave" shoutout to everyone!

With hopes that we all manage to keep it between the ditches... Be safe!

greek, You say: "If the BlackHawks come for you, then you are SOL."... My point, exactly.

That realization kind of negates the old standby argument that, to paraphrase: The second amendment's intent is to insure a well armed citizenry is able to repel a tyrannical overthrow of our constitution by the force of our own standing army being turned against it's own citizenry.

The "well armed citizen defending the Constitution from tyranny" theory, is a poor foundation upon which to base any pro-gun argument in this day and age.

Read these forums dum-dum ! I said i made a typo and a mistake sticky , you righties all sound the same to me !

Yes moderation. It was 30 some years ago Reagan got shot. Protection and security have increased ten fold since 9-11-01 !! Hinkley types ain't just gonna appear from the crowd much anymore and open up on the Secret Service..

Munster/free/whoever you're calling yourself today, I have gone under a single name my entire time on these boards. You claiming I'm using, or have ever used a different name here is a LIE! And you know it!

You, on the other hand, have posted here with different "handles", and you know it! Of course, you were coming back from getting booted from here for good cause!

You'd think after getting booted ONCE, you's learn your lesson. I guess not!

Happy New Year,Bob Dahler.

greek- my point, since you did not grasp it, was ... all the president's armed men were not able to stop a shooting right under their noses. And Brady, of course, was shot himself.and reagan supported, after his presidency, a couple of gun CONTROL measures, including the Brady bill.Yes and the Brady campaign was formed by Mrs. Brady about that time. the greek said"I thought everyone that has knowledge of guns knew that".

And, I am gonna protect myself and my family !! Do not be fooled into thinking that someone is gonna want to protect you and yours. I would think that the power outage this last year would have taught people something. At the minimum people should have learned that others flip out if McDonalds, WalMart and the gas stations aren't open for business !! When that happens, I wanna be out of sight and armed. If the BlackHawks come for you, then you are SOL. Sorely out of luck.
