I just wanted to let you guys know this, as I am sure you didn't realize that you are actually a terrorist.

I just realized it and I am torch cutting the recievers and bending all of the barrels of my firearms, burning all of my books, and going to the hospital so that I can get the anti-terrorism lobotomy.


Every one on this board who owns a firearm is a terrorist. Every one on this board who actively reads in a terrorist. Everyone on this board who believes the Constitution applies to us today is a terrorist.

Resistance is futile.

Guns kill as many people as automobiles.Come again? Has there been a drastic change in statistics that I'm unaware of?

For "people" insert "gangbangers."

Guns kill as many people as automobiles.

The WHO estimates that 1.2 million people die worldwide in auto related mishaps. Source (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4675804/)
"The Small Arms Survey Handbook 2002" estimates that 500,000 people die from gun shots. Of these, 300 000 people die in regional conflict and 200 000 in interpersonal violence and suicide. Source (http://ip.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/8/4/262)

Well, dammit, if we're terrorists, let's start acting like terrorists. Hoist the Jolly Roger and let's start slitting throats. :fire:

Could use some editing but I just couldn't take his nonsense sitting down!

To make the leap that Massachusetts’s tough gun laws somehow are even remotely connected to its declining crime rate suggests that Mr. Rosenthal is speaking from emotion and not from research at best. (JON ROSENTHAL
Local developer takes dead aim at the NRA
PAUL MCMORROW)
The truth is crime is declining nationwide and fastest in those states with the least restrictive gun laws! (John Lott).

That Jon Rosenthal would state such blatant falsehoods in support of his position on the mentioned gun control laws (including his stance on the Assault Weapons Bill’s demise), is irresponsible and deplorable! How about some facts? People can NOT easily buy the gun on his billboard or any similar weapon since the AWB expired! Such guns have been tightly regulated since 1934 and termination of the AWB did not change that!

Mr. Rosenthal can rail against these weapons as he pleases but the facts are that most if not all of the weapons on the formerly banned list are only cosmetically different from weapons you could always buy that were used for hunting and recreation. The truth is these weapons, even BEFORE the ban, were used in only a very small percentage of crimes and that statistic has not dropped dramatically since the AWB went into effect. (Those who voted for the bill ignored hard evidence from law enforcement agencies and the like). Where has there even been an outbreak of Columbine type massacres or “David Koresh” type incidents since the AWB expired by the way?

“Guns kill more people than automobiles? Misleading at best for this statement would only be true if you included both World Wars and the Korean and Vietnamese conflicts!

“Stop Handgun Violence helped the state enact minimum manufacturing and safety standards, background checks, dealer standards, minimum sentencing and an assault weapons ban; gun deaths have dropped accordingly.” The facts are the gun crime rate has dropped the fastest in those states with the least restrictive gun laws! The Justice Institute (the research arm of the Department of Justice); the FBI rank these gun control initiatives as having virtually zero affect on crime. The truth is gun related crimes have been declining for 30 years despite people owning more guns per capita than any time in history!

According to the Center for Disease Control, background checks, the Brady Bill, and other gun control initiatives have not been demonstrated to have reduced even gun related crime. Criminals don’t obey gun laws-does it then surprise people that these gun control laws have proven to be ineffective?! Guns in fact SAVE more lives than they destroy. (John Lott’s: “More Guns, Less Crime”).

“We need a nationwide membership group to engage reasonable gun owners who don’t think there should be unrestricted access to guns for kids, criminals and terrorists, and that’s what the NRA thinks” (Rosenthal). This is a BLATANT LIE by MR. Rosenthal! The NRA fully supports TOUGH gun laws to restrict access to guns by criminals and terrorists! A cursory reading of their website alone would demonstrate this fact!

Mr. Rosenthal is welcome to both propose and champion legislation that he believes will best serve the public trust. Let’s not abuse that trust by spewing lies and propaganda. Mr. Rosenthal, check your facts!

Sincerely,

Hey, I've known for years that I'm a racist, terroristic, no-good Bad Guy, and my feet are don't match. Morris Dees said so. According to him, the NRA is no different from the KKK, the Aryan Nation, Christian Identity or any of those evil militia groups.

Morris Dees is among quite a few who've earned gift certificates for a home visit from Dr. Kevorkian...
