Weapons Ban: Hearings Should Have Been Held

If the Nazi's had to consider that every Jewish papa might have been armed with even just a single shot shotgun, the storm troopers wouldn't have been near so eager to have gone about their awful business of knocking down doors and hauling people away to their doom. To be certain, no single man could have prevented what was going to happen to his family and himself, but the idea would be to take at least one, if not more, of the SOB's with him. Give their mother's something to cry about! The idea of attrition/harrasment comes into play too in such defenses. Think of how a German soldier would have felt about knocking down one door, while knowing that at any given moment another might fling open just down the hall. That's just the senario that a "well regulated militia" is all about. Win in the long run, meanwhile, make them pay a little here and a little there. Last one day longer than they can.

Hey boobybill - quick question. If the Jews would of had guns, do you think 6 million would have been gased? And as a black man, if your people had had guns during the slave trade years, do you think they could have prevented slavery?

When bobby says you are like the Taliban doesn't that make him seem like he is trying to bully people into seeing it his way. By attempting to categorize you as a terrorist because you stand up for your beliefs he therefore is trying to bully you into following the liberal mindset.

Am I proud of the Governor and president. Punish the responsible citizens, not the criminals. NOT one bit of legislation to punish the criminals caught with a weapon, NOT one bit of legislation to increase the sentence of these criminals. As usual these bans were politically motivated. Cuomo wants to be president and the president wants to be a dictator. Congratulations to the senate and house. Sheeple all of them.

boobybull, your opinions are so astonishingly devoid of common sense that I find it hard to fathom that you actually believe the nonsense in your comments. Say it ain't so, boobybull!

"not sure what a libtard is but must assume it is a bullying technique, hence the abuse button." Sounds like threats (bullying) to me. Maybe people should return it in kind.

"voter fraud that does not exist puts you in the taliban category".

So bobbybilly, you are saying there is not ONE example of voter fraud in this country? If there has been your arguement is moot. And what does voter fraud have to do with the Tea Party. Last I knew, the taliban wants nothing to do with free and fair elections. So once again you comparing American patriots to the taliban ins not only unpatriotic, unAmerican, but a slap in the face to every person that has defended this country. You sir are a low life and as unAmerican as they come. But just not unAmerican enough to live off the system and to take advantage of the benefits this country offers including Obamacare. Bye Bye commrade.

BOBBYBILLY - I challange you to give us one example of this. Just one, from a reliable source.

"patriots and then talk about overthrowing the government because they don't like the color of our presidents skin are the ones i am comparing to the taliban". I'll wait.

4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »

seabisquit you are correct, that is the definition of a patriot. the people that call themselves patriots and then talk about overthrowing the government because they don't like the color of our presidents skin are the ones i am comparing to the taliban.

Oh and bobbybill - the definition of a patriot is: "a proud supporter or defender of his or her country and its way of life"

So, for you to compare a patriot to the taliban is not only UNPATRIOTIC, but it proves exactly what many of us have said about you.

"Kind of hard to find anyone guilty WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS bobbybilly"

There you go again bobbybilly - if you are going to quote me, use the ENTIRE quote instead of cherry picking bits and pieces.

And bobbybilly - I am a patriot and am not religious. I am a patriot and I believe in the Constitution that states I can own a weapon of war which is a rifle. I am a patriot and I love women and respect them. I have been married for 37 years. I am a patriot and believe if I don't like who has been elected, we are able to vote him/her out, if the voting process is fair, if all votes are counted, and if every citizen that wants to vote does so - once. So bobbybill, you and your socialist, communist, Obama worshipping counterparts enjoy it while you can. When this economy crashes, which it will, people will wake up and the King and his court will be nothing but a bad memory.

the "AR" in AR-15 stands for "assault rifle."

someone will NEVER be able to live down that statement. ignorance incarnate unmasked!!

And seabisquit, i know you didn't mean to do it but your post "kinda hard to find someone guilty" is an acknowledgement that the right did NOT find either one of them guilty of anything. Those pesky facts though will never stop you from calling a horse a cow though.

"And Seabisquit, please cite where Obama and Holder were found guilty of anything to do with fast and furiou"

Poor, poor, poor bobbybilly. Who is the top law enforcement offical in the country? Wait for it........the Attorney General, who just happens to be Eric Holder. Also, the Abbott and Costello of Fast and Furious did not turn over ALL related papers since King Obama inserted Exec. Priv. once again. Kind of hard to find anyone guilty WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS bobbybilly..

Overdrive, there are not enough law enforcement to get to your house in time to stop an home invasion(unless by some stroke of luck, they are just around the corner). Law enforcement to citizen ratio is about 1:4000. They can't be in all places at all times. I, too, want law enforcement, et al, to be the ones to protect me, but sometimes they can't.

Really, bobby? And, calling others the who don't agree with you, which is almost everyone, the taliban because they exercise their Constitutional rights, is NOT bullying? You always go right for the jugular of your opinion opponents, denegrating them at the very first chance. But, then again, that has always been your modis operandi, no matter what your posting moniker has been.

overdrive, well thought out sane comments my friend. unlike the members of the american taliban on here.

but lets use fast and furious as an example shall we. the mexican police and even the army were completely outgunned as the drug dealers had assault weapons hmmmmmmmmmm perhpas if they got rid of these weapons? nah

And Seabisquit, please cite where Obama and Holder were found guilty of anything to do with fast and furious. if i remember correctly the republican fueled investigation came up with nothing on those gentlemen but hey, good old facts have never gotten in your way before have they

Overdrive asks - "Okay, why would anyone want an assault weapon"?

Maybe that is a question you should be asking Obama and Holder - or haven't you heard about Fast and Furious???

3 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »

Overdrive, how's this for a reason. Not everyone is an Annie Oakley, and in the privacy of one's home and confronted by several intruders, many a person, in a panicky state would need 10 rounds to give themselves a fighting chance. Then ask yourself why Obama would shut down the Govt Agency (NDIC) that kept track of the gang and drug related crimes that in many cases were perpetrated by those using assault weapons.

Trusting the present day government in NY is not patriotic it's insane. But I understand where you are coming from on your thoughts. Just disagree with part of them. This part "All I can think of is crazy people, white supremacists, and those with hopes to overthrow the government. Who am I missing?" A majority are nothing like this. That's like saying when I think of them all I can picture is the Black Panthers (old and new). And both lines of thinking are wrong.

MacKenzie, I trust the police, armed services, and the government to protect me, my family, and the Constitution much more than I do private citizens (including myself) acting alone or in independent groups. I guess I'm just patriotic that way.

These new laws go after legal gun owners and do nothing about the real problems. It is disgusting that our law makers insinuate that law-abiding citizens, who are legal gun owners are the same as the crazed murderers who have committed some of the most recent mass shootings. The legal gun owners have passed rigorous background checks. (How many of you anti-legal gun proponents could pass the background check?) None of these laws would have prevented those crimes. None of these laws will prevent the bad guys from obtaining the weapons they want to carry out the crime they intend. Our government cannot legislate away evil, crazy, sociopaths, psychopaths or criminal minds. Wish they could. Protecting oneself and one's family is a Constitutional right and should be exercised by anyone that wants to and can pass the background check.

Overdrive, the truth is any weapon used to kill or injure someone IS an assault weapon.

What no one is talking about is illegal drug use/sales and the increase of violent crime. Or, that penalties for violent crimes are too lenient. Or, that New York state doesn't have the death penalty anymore. Or, that the prosecution of violent crimes in this state is weak. Where is the legislation going after the criminals, who could never pass a background check?

Know what the progessives will say? We have to protect these poor criminals' rights. But, God forbid, the rights of law-abiding citizens be protected.
