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?

No Fred , thats the all powerful Know Nothing Expert !

Sound advice from a 12-year-old dimwit!

@Sticky - But, as a "soothsayer" you are a paranoid washout! Hey! I LIKE shotguns myself!

Don't Grow Old - Grow Up!

by Dorothy Carnegie

That's right Sticky, stick to your delusions! You never "attack" anyone - except those who disagree with your fanatic views about anything. And, yes, I'm sure that you "don't believe that everyone should be armed" - except for those on the right who share your fanatic views about guns. You certainly don't want us liberals to be "bearing arms", do you? In your pure hypocrisy on all of these issues, you are a "paragon of virtue". Ha!

Stiff- I am quite fond of a mini14. You are quite often mistaken in your observations.

I have yet to attack anyone here, you, on the other hand, do so on a regular basis. I also never claimed there was an effort to ban shotguns. But, I'm sure that eventually, if given their way, they'll try to ban any firearm.

That is WHY gun owners are standing together. If passing laws against something actually worked, why do we still have a war on drugs?

Biden’s self-defense advice: Commit a crime

By: Dave Workman

Sticky - You've obviously not noticed the results of most national public-opinion polls since the Newtown tragedy. I hate to tell ya but, according to these polls, the views of me & Munster on gun-control are in the MAJORITY. If anyone deserves the label of "extemist" it is folks like you, the Greek, and Gollum who obfuscate, fib, and viciously attack anyone who dares to suggest ANY kind of oversight regarding the ownership & use of guns in this society!

Contrary to the views of the NRA and paranoid wingnuts like Twiggy, there are NO ongoing efforts to ban double-barreled shotguns - only combat-style weapons with magazines that hold 30-100 rounds of ammo ... I STILL think that if universal background checks based upon mental-stability were instituted, half of those who post their rants here would not be able to purchase firearms because they are uber-paranoid whackjobs who are looking for a gunfight!

Biden on Gun Protection: 'Get a Double-Barrel Shotgun'

(YouTube)

And truth be told, IF universal background checks are ever initiated, you'd be the one more liable to be refused a firearm transfer than me.

We've discussed this too many times already, with me saying, quite clearly, that I've never advocated that everyone own firearms. Especially extremists like yourself!

Freddie, your buddy "Crazy Joe" Biden shows how much of an idiot he is as well. His great idea of "firing off 2 shots out of a shotgun" is Jill is worried about noise outside would present a few issues for his wife.

Delaware prohibits using firearms to protect your property, it allows firearm use only to defend your life. Violating that is a felony in Delaware.

Add to that, there is such a thing as the laws of gravity. What goes up does come down. Shooting into the air is irresponsible.

And, if there really is a threat, shooting off both barrels of a double-barrel shotgun does one thing for you. It leaves you defenseless until you reload.

Of course, she has no worries about any of those little issues, as they are protected by armed guards, 24/7/365.

It's kind of easy to suggest stupid options if you don't really have to depend on your stupidity to protect yourself.

Despite all the whining from the Stiff (who doesn't get to make decisions about whose posts should be "taken down") I should change the line "is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing reactionary base fired up for 2012" to "is all the whining from the rightwing nutjobs just a gimmick to get what's left of the "base" fired up for 2014"? ... Unlike the Stiff (who's still stuck in 1950) I like to stay current!

I see that the "Zombieman" (Working Stiff) has come over here to cheer on the stormtroopers & oathkeepers! Stiffy uber alles!

Sticky - I don't need more that one "handle" to handle nincompoops like you! ... "Oathkeeper" has obviously not heard about the results of that war in 1861-65 ... So Biden said that shotguns can stay legal. So what? They only use two rounds. Fantatics like Oathkeeper & the Stick want everyone to live in a combat zone. No thanks! Once universal background checks are installed, some of these wingnuts will be disarmed and perhaps institutionalized!

Our Trusted Mayor Mathews, Is a Unconstitutional servant working agianst "We The People" on our 2nd Amendment Rights, by Signing the Fienstein Assault weapons Ban of 2013 thats being sent to congress. I will Stand with my Brothers and Sisters and make sure he is voted out of office next term, never regaining a set in office. You can look the signature up at " MAYORS AGAINST ILLEGAL GUNS". I would love for The Marietta times and News Department to do a column on Mayor Mathews Stand Strong, Stand United

George W Bush Gave out lots of advice, but since he was a babbling idiot no one understood him !One of the things important about history is to remember the true history. --George W. Bush

Joe Biden gave bad (read: illegal) advice on responsible gun use. To his WIFE.
