Is that what you said eight years ago? March 19, 2011 OBAMA: 'Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world'... MARCH 19, 2003 BUSH: 'American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger'... witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I thought the same thing. If it's not ok for him to use "dollar" and "US" and if it looked too much like US currency, fine, go after him. What I don't get is the conspiracy against the govt charge, and this nonsense about terrorism. Plenty of folks don't like the federal reserve. This sounds like going after him to send a message, rather than based on the seriousness of his conduct. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well, the word is we're lobbing missiles into Libya and providing high tech aid to the coalition forces but keeping our people out of the way. The question is what are the UN types trying to accomplish. "Protecting the locals" is not exactly a mission with an end unless the UN means to hold a revolution against the Duck in their honor. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Haven't heard from you, so I thought I'd try again in case you missed the replies. Cho is a good example. Why would YOU have wanted him to be able to buy a gun with no difficulty? He didn't ask for an example; he asked for a definition. If the best you can do is point them out by their actions, then you have no way of preventing them from getting guns. If they're not crazy until they shoot people, then how do you stop crazies from getting guns? (without banning everyone from getting them, that is) Anything to say about a definition? Also, I'm still trying to figure out where you stand, since you can't or won't link to a post or thread where you've clearly stated your position on individual gun rights. So what do you think about requiring registration of all firearms? What do you think about storage requirements of private firearms kept on private property? What do you think about limiting magazine capacity? What do you think about private ownership of handguns? What do you think about private ownership of military styled semi-auto rifles? What do you think about private ownership of select-fire or full-auto firearms? What do you think about concealed carry? Should it be banned, licensed, or unlicensed? What do you think about open carry of firearms? Should it be banned, licensed, or unlicensed? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Because it is worse than other areas and the US are mostly responsible. Colombia, El Salvador, Afghanistan, and a dozen other places would disagree. We just hear about Mexico more often because they are next door and the cartels fight for limited space and routes. It also makes for good scare tactics during a political campaign. Your moving target is tough to hit, going from solely to mostly, but seeing as the US doesn't consume more than 50% of the drugs, how is it mostly responsible? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

It's SOLELY fueled by the US, both in money and guns. Maybe that's why it needs to be seen more North of the border? Drug violence is an worldwide problem. I don't see why you're acting as if Mexico is worse than other areas, or that the US is solely responsible. Do you believe the lie that cartels and drug smugglers get their guns from US sources? And your beheading example is downright pedestrian compared to things going on in Mexico. Rolling severed heads into dance halls is not unheard-of. Massacres including dozens of victims occur all too often. Reprisals against uncooperative politicians an police are NRA daily, and generally lethal. Family members are on te "acceptable target" list of every cartel. An so on and so forth. Shall we talk about Africa, or any other area where this and worse goes on on a daily basis? So what was your point in posting this, if you had on beyond shock value? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Really Jeanne? Where have I stated that I "support the removal of ALL laws that you see as restricting ANYONES right to the weapons of their choosing"? Good luck finding that post. (hint: it doesn't exist) Unlike the professor, I have stated my beliefs clearly several times. Do you need the links? What do you mean, if I ever come home? I live and work here in the states. I haven't been overseas in several years, and I've never worked outside the USA. The Swiss and Israelis have good and bad points in their systems, just like we do. What do you think they do better than us? It's always nice to discuss the issue, rather than just make baseless claims and insult each other. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

If it stopped there, a lot of folks wouldn't argue with you. But I have to ask the related questions: Should those background checks be recorded by seller, buyer, and make/model/serial of the firearm? Or should it be erased as soon as it is approved? I would be a fan of a simple and clear form for judges that has no purpose other than to report any adjuicated incompetant, insane, and for all convicted felons on the date of conviction. Have you got anything in mind beyond better reporting by judges, and more referral to judges by concerned parties? No such thing. See post above. I agree with the caveat that any felon has the right to petition a court to restore his rights. Again, I think this is as it should be, because it goes through the courts and provides due process. It's not a "never-ever" or a "handing out lolly-pops" solution. Now, for the clear stating of your position/views: So what do you think about requiring registration of all firearms? What do you think about storage requirements of private firearms kept on private property? What do you think about limiting magazine capacity? What do you think about private ownership of handguns? What do you think about private ownership of military styled semi-auto rifles? What do you think about private ownership of select-fire or full-auto firearms? What do you think about concealed carry?

He doesn't want felons and insane people to get guns any more than you want to completely take away everyone's constitutional rights. Now stop with your pedantic one liners. They don't accomplish anything. Honestly I'd like to discuss the issue with you, but I don't know where you stand, and all you've done is snipe at one small parts of posts or fire off your snide remarks. Can you point to a post where you've clearly stated your position? Or will you do so now? How would you define "loony" in terms of denying gun rights to citizens? Do you want to strengthen the system in place where those convicted of certain crimes and those adjudicated incompetent or insane are denied rights, or would you expand it in some way? Do you want current purchasing laws enforced, or do you want to expand them? Should every citizen be restrained and controlled so that no person can ever break gun laws? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
