Relax! No one's going to take away your hunting rifle!

Actually, his hunting exemption would be very easy to manipulate. Here and in most states, there is something you can hunt at virtually any time of the year- especially when you consider the critters with no closed season.
 
One thing not addresses:

Who's going to get the criminals to turn in their guns?

Why that $1000.00 fine and fear of one year imprisonment will get all those bad people to turn theirs guns in,,,

Local radio, KDKA in Pittsburgh, is going to try and get this guy on as a guest.
If I see a date and time will let you all know so you can listen on the web.
 
Total BS the way people manipulate others.

I dont even have a hinting rifle, where does that leave me?
 
Not particularly "high road" but he fails to address the "unintended/anticipated consequences" of the "gun sweeps".

I don't think you're seeing the other side of this. Once all the "hunting" guns were in lock-up, they'd ban hunting. Since there'd then be no need for hunting guns, they'd simply make lawn chairs out of them.
 
Now now. We can't disagree with or point out the obvious major flaws in this esteemed diplomat's plan. That might offend him and those who agree with him. From the overwhelming views expressed in another current thread here, our goal should be to appease those contrary to our viewpoint at all costs. Because we all know that kissing our enemies' behinds is the best way to convert them to allies! :banghead:
 
Reading things like that article honestly makes me feel sick. Arent these people aware of the Bill of Rights. They arent privileges. They are RIGHTS!

People like this are VERY well aware of our rights, and they understand them perfectly well (not that they'd admit it to you, but they DO understand). That's not the problem. The problem is that THEY DON'T LIKE US HAVING RIGHTS. Their entire object is to increase their power at our expense. It is nothing new - people have been enslaving one another for many thousands of years in one form or another, and Simp's son is only the last in a very long, very despicable line of scum.

He's not stupid - he's EVIL!!
 
Personally, I find his candor refreshing.

"You will now be escorted back to the Ministry, where you will be formally charged, then sent to Azkaban to wait trial!"
"Ah" said Dumbledore gently, "yes. Yes, I thought we might hit that little snag."
"Snag?" said Fudge, his voice still vibrating with joy. "I see no snag Dumbledore!"
"Well," said Dumbledore apologetically, "I'm afraid I do."
"Oh really?"
"Well – it's just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to – what is the phrase – 'Come quietly.' I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban...."

bring it. :)
 
seriously, how did this guy get appointed by anyone? reads like a 6th grader wrote it. what a naive load. "we'd know there are swept, gun-free areas." just like drug-free school zones, right? even at nice schools more dealing gets done among students in homeroom than most places.

hi, my name is reality. it's nice to meet you mr. simpson, but i don't think we're very compatible.
 
I'd be willing to bet there would be a short list of volunteers for the special squads that had to round up the guns.
 
Relax, no one's going to take my hunting rifle.

Where I'm at, it's always hunting season of one sort or another. an ar-15 is legal for deer hunting, as long as it only has a 10 round mag +1 in it at the time.

Moreover, I seriously doubt that anyone outside of my immediate family knows exactly how many and what kinds of guns I have. I'm pretty sure I could list them all, but maybe not even.

I can just about guarantee that anyone who shows up at my house with hostile inentions, is going to show up outgunned.

I would much favor a plan in which all tyrants were deposited in a special heavily guarded location, and only let out for "hunting season".

What I'm getting at, and what I think we must always bear in mind, is that we have not only the right to bear arms, but the MIGHT to bear arms.
 
From the OP:
The likely underestimate of how many guns are wandering around America runs at 240 million in a population of about 300 million.

Y'all know what I'm going to say right here, dontcha?? Do I even have to say it??
 
1. i never understood why killing defenseless animals is more moral than killing someone who wants to kill you or your family.

Do you eat meat? If so, then having someone else do your killing could argued to be less moral than doing the deed one's self.

It could also be that animals are just animals. Yes, I view them (as a whole) as sacred, just as I consider my yard or the woods down the street 'sacred' - something higher than just a single individual, and I'm not going to desecrate them heedlessly. But I need meet to survive, and I am not so gone in the head that I am willing to try and explain how my own existence is 'moral'.

2. Aside from wanting to take away my second amendment, i love the blatant 4th amendment violation

There's not thing there to prevent them from doing so once the 2nd is gone, now is there? :(

I can't even begin to imagine the attrition rates in their 'search and destroy' squads. They'd probably have to import thugs for that, or just recruit them from the ghettos.

3. why do anti-gun folks always feel the need to explain to us their experience with firearms?

Why, don't you see? They're just like you, and me! It's just their not-so-subtle way of saying, "yo homey, I'm up with that shiznit you brothas talkin' bout!"

4. Our guns heavily guarded in a fortress? Ok when society collapses under an out of control government we'll just go ask them if we can have our weapons

No, that is the out-of-control government that will have ceased the weapons.
 
This guy probably believes a plan like his could work and is a good thing.

Precisely, and unfortunately. These people do not think in the platitudes of "could it work?" but "how long would it take to work?" and "what percentage of the population must be killed or otherwise forcefully subverted?"
 
Dan Simpson must have graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Joseph Stalin School of Government.

All his plan would result in is a lot of dead police and dead citizens and for what? So some elitist control freak with his head up his anal orifice can feel like he's made the world a safer place.

Where do these guys come from and why does anyone put up with them?

Not a whack job? :confused: That plan's the craziest thing I've read in a very, very long time.
 
Sorry, but without a Constitutional amendment, you hain't gonna get away with that kind of crap!
 
Hell, I wonder if Mr. Simpson has looked at the disarmament program in Iraq? The conflict should be over since we took the weapons away from everyone but the good guys. Riiiiiiiggggghhhhhhtttttt. The average Iraqi can have one AK-47 and one mag for it. They are reduced to relying on us for protection. I guess some would like to see the US in the same predicament.
 
This guy is a closet nazi starting to ooze out of the closet.

"special squads" he says. Wonder whether he has a contingent of brownshirts in mind or a fully funded and equipped schutzstaffel (SS).
 
Hunters would be able to deposit their hunting weapons in a centrally located arsenal,

Just like we deposited all our gold with the Fed in 1933 :uhoh:

(For the history-challenged, all privately held gold in the US was seized in 1933. I'm sure the government will be giving it back any day now... oh wait, they already sold it off to foreign banks at $35 an ounce in the 1960s :rolleyes: )

Well I don't know about that....Seems like they got away with it in Waco, at Ruby Ridge, in Arkansas and plenty of other less infamous places.

They have gotten away with seizing money, property and cars without benefit of a judge also. Seems like the BofR is mostly a window dressing to some who are in power.

The whole key to his logic is basically that the government will get to decide if guns are allowed, what kinds of guns, who gets to use them, how they will be used, where they will be stored etc.etc. Once that little line is crossed and they have stolen that authority its but a small matter to ban them outright, declare the rest of the Bill of Rights in abeyance and start shipping dissidents of to the gulags...and they get to decide who is a dissident.

No thanks. Molon Labe in the most classic of meanings. I'd rather be dead than live in a country like that. And I suspect there are plenty of Pollys in DC that would be happy to oblige me.
