:barf: This clown has two anuses,one at each end of his digestive system. :what: That is the only way he could spew so much BS. :cuss: I wonder when he lived in England? :barf: Certnaly in the last6-7 years,murder,in house assalts and shotings have gone thru the roof. :banghead: The cops now wish they ALL CARIED GUNS,but most still can't. :fire:
 
Actually, this reads more like a parody of anti-gun rhetoric than anything else. Are we sure this guy (or gal) is for real?

Wimps like me who disagree with them are pinko subservives and should be sent to Cuba to contemplate Fidel's beard and recite passages from the Communist Manifesto.
As noted above, maybe sent isn't quite the right word. But if the writer is sincere, encouraged wouldn't be a bad idea. Then he could find out what a nation subservient to the government is really like.

Republicans could shoot Democrats.

uh isnt that a reason not to have gun control?
anyway that was an incredibly frustrating read.

makes me want to scream, for so many reasons.

he didnt make a single accurate point-
sure, no one needs an AK to hunt with- that isnt what it is for!
doest mean it is not good to have on hand
 
Close only counts with horseshoes, washers and hand grenades...

I can understand, barely, that firing a pistol at a target in a shooting range might be of some interest, though a bow and arrow would be more of a challenge. What will be next, "hobbyists" tossing hand grenades?
Ooh, ooh! Is there a hand grenade range open now?

Where is it? How much is a membership?

:evil:

You know, I wish I could become as proficient, as quickly, with a handgun as I did with a bow. It took me maybe three weeks of daily shooting to get consistent tight groups with the bow; but after about three months of really getting serious about handgun practice, I still can't match my bow groups.

Either this guy is completely lying about being prior military, or he was some kind of REMF who fired his weapon about three times for quals and nothing else. Because he clearly knows nothing at all about shooting or marksmanship, or the challenges presented. I could just as effectively write a detailed critique of the sport of croquet.
 
Wow, it's so nice to see an original viewpoint from an intelligent person who's obviously done a lot of research :rolleyes: I can't even make myself get excited over these idiots anymore.
 
Editor's View: How many more will die before guns are controlled?

How many have died-and are still dieing-because guns are being controlled?

Darfur. Ethiopia. Zimbabwe. Congo. Rwanda. Cambodia. China. USSR. Armenia. Hitler's Germany.

Nevermind how well gun control has worked out in England and Australia.
 
It's a crying shame that meatheads like this are the ones who have the ear of the public and as such can make it seem like their opinions are shared by most of society while people like yourselves who actually have a grasp on reality are being made out to be in the minority. If sharing the opinions of you folks at this site makes me a gun nut then a gun nut I am.
 
One minute these people (author of the article) whine about how our country is turning into a republican controlled police state, and the next minute they proudly proclaim that the government should institute absolute control over firearms. I have never understood this about liberals. I don't think they know whether they are coming or going.
 
Ask this [ahem] reporter:

"How many more lies will be told before the press is controlled?"


That should be good for several tizzies from them.
 
How many more will die before guns are controlled?

This would be the perfect place to look this person in the eye and say " at least one". Watch the color of his shorts change.
 
Yet another person who talks about how we have inadequate "gun controls" but is unfamiliar with the Federal Firearms Act and the Gun Control Act.
 
Yutz.

We must ban:

Double bacon cheeseburgers.
Cars
Knives, pointy ones.
Sharp sticks
Ice cream
Zippo Lighters

My short list makes as much sense as his RAMBLING.
 
Anybody else get the irony that he's in Bowie MD and wrote this for publication in the "Bowie Blade"? :banghead:
 
"How many more lies will be told before the press is controlled?"
But, but some bad reporting never killed anybody! Uh, except for the Newsweek/Koran incident... :uhoh:
 
The right-wing Republicans (and a handful of moderates) who now rule us in all branches of the federal government would like nothing better than to do away with the virtually ineffective gun controls now in place.
and
Our elected representatives quiver in abject fear when the NRA shakes its can of quarters and tells the gutless members of Congress to ignore the overwhelming majority of the American public that wants truly effective gun control

If the NRA doesn't want gun control and the right-wing Republicans don't want gun control, why is there still gun control? The gun nuts "own" the NRA and the NRA "owns" the politicians according to Mr. Rouse, but I STILL can't buy a fully-operational tank.
 
any MD people know what he is talking about?

"I recall that a few years ago a group of gun afficonados (someone less restrained than myself might call them nuts) gathered near Pointer Ridge to shoot off a slew of weapons that included just about everything but a cannon."

I've never heard of this. But then again, I've only been in MD for two years now . . .
 
"Republicans could shoot Democrats."

Just a reminder, good sir: The Second Amendment is for fighting, not for recreation.

My family used our guns from 1861 to 1865 to do exactly that, shoot Democrats. Today my family stands ready against all enemies of our freedom, whatever they call themselves. :)

Being Prince George's County......I doubt that these were just a few lawful citizens getting together for a friendly range shoot. :rolleyes:
 
My reply to this dip wad......


Mr. Rouse,

Congratulations to you for your recent editorial dealing with gun control. In one of the most carefully constructed and concise articles that I've read recently, you've managed to cover nearly every lie, misrepresentation and fallacy from the anti-gun lobby's play book.

Your article is based on the typical hysterical rants that accompany nearly all discourses on what you and your ilk term "reasonable gun control". Cries of "it's for the children", "blood in the streets" and "protect our police officers" ring hollow to those law abiding citizens who use firearms for sport, recreation and self-protection when it becomes apparent that statists such as yourself will settle for nothing less than total disarmament of the citizenry of this country. That, sir, is wholly unreasonable.

Have you considered that the criminal activity endemic to Prince George's County is part and parcel of individuals who choose to commit those acts? They would be criminals regardless of the tools with which they choose to implement those crimes. By denying me and my family our constitutionally protected right to self-defense, you are yourself an accomplice to those criminals. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that police departments and their governing bodies have no legal responsibility to protect us. If this is indeed the case, then by what means are the law abiding citizens of this country expected to defend themselves?

Your naivete and lack of understanding of gun owners is further illustrated by trying to define gun owners as right wing Republicans and card-carrying members of the NRA. Nothing could be further from the truth, though it does provide a simplistic solution to your single dimensional view of this debate. The truth is that gun owners in this country run the gamut of political, cultural and racial description and can not be pigeon-holed for the benefit of advancing your agenda.

Rather than focusing your attention on the miniscule percentage of those who choose to commit crimes with firearms, I would encourage you to instead take a look at the 80 million citizens in this country in possession of approximately 250 million firearms who already own and use their firearms in a responsible manner.

Sincerely,

"Norton"
