Socialism anyone?

The purpose of laws is to codify society's customs, not to dictate what those customs should be. When the lawmakers are at odds with the population, disobedience will result, followed by:
a) widespread disregard for the law (NYC gun laws, WoD, prohibition)
b) tyranny (as the people are forced to comply) (blue state gun laws, WoD, FFL system)
c) revolt (ballot box or cartridge box, you pick) (94 AWB house cleaning)
Either of these outcomes is more difficult for the legislator than simply giving laws that confirm the customs of the people.

Beerslurpy, under present law advocacy of your item c) is sufficient to get someone locked up, without charge or promise of hearing, for an indefinite period. It will be a far more likely event if anti-gun forces really get into power. I suggest you do not express thoughts in public that you may regret later. I would be very surprised if this site was not visited by people who are "data mining" for future use.

"she has a right to be heard under the Constitution"

A liberal is reminding us conservatives of this important point, thank you.

Now please remind your fellow liberals,such as Barbara Streisand, who recently shouted "Shut the f*** up!" to some guy in the audience who questioned her anti-Bush tirade. IIRC, Babs isn't too big on second amendment freedom either.

Yes this lady has the right to be heard under the constitution. And the rest of us have the right to consider her an idiot. Apparently she fails to realize that when only the police have guns you live in a police state. Her diatribe merely supports the position the as a species we are not intelligent. Some individuals yes but on average no. The average voter can't think, they can only emote.

Your conservative friends seem to have forgotten about it. I would say that all they do is whine about letters sent to an editor and do damn all about it. Do any of them send a letter in reply? - Whoops, stop that thought, they would probably write and say that any woman who advocates gun control should immediately be thrown into a prison for male sex offenders without trial.

Some of your conservative, that's your word, friends come across in print as bigoted blowhards and their statements do nothing to help to protect our right to be armed. Barely a post I've read on this thread would help our cause one little bit if it was given to an average citizen to compare with the letter from that disillusioned woman. It is the average citizen who votes.

I am a liberal in that I prefer to see my trees standing and my rivers clean, which is because I hunt and fish. I prefer to see our elders looked after in their old age, these are the people that made the country we are fortunate enough to live in, they fought our wars for us. I am also morally conservative and pro-gun and I make the effort to defend my beliefs in the newspaper rather than hiding behind the internet when I am attacked by a little old lady.

When one of your friends can show he is doing something positive to fight gun control other than whining about being beaten down by a little old lady call me back. I would love to hear about it.

I am reminded of Gertrude Stein's comment about Oakland...
