point number 2 and 4 are the important points to me , especially point number 2 as its true that people die everyday all day long of many different causes and we do not attempt to take away their Government Granted PERMISSIONS to drive , ride motorcycles , over eat , over drink but a few thousand gun deaths per year and THEY , the ENEMY libs and 'dems' tries to reduce Americans God Given RIGHT and Constitutional RIGHT to Effective Self Defense and Gun use and ownership for other Constitutional purposes Basic .
A person that can defend themselves is the greatest threat to tyranny.
Old Lady made the damn mistake claiming she can defeat tyranny with education and her intellect but when I pointed out Trotsky stupidity by thinking he was smarter than Stalin, well noticed she went silent quickly.
Also notice when it is pointed out the guy disobeyed the laws the progressive left want us to be silent and not discuss the possible failures because if any failure then it ruins their argument that more laws will help.
As I pointed out the progressive left want to do away with our rights from owning firearms to what we say and in this thread there are great examples!
I went silent yesterday because as usual you are spouting your right wing bullshit tapes instead of listening to what I said. I don't expect anyone to agree, but if you want to talk, at least address what I said. I told you why the second amendment is a useless and counterproductive measure.
I also tried to suggest other options for getting our violence problem under control, but you have been conveniently dismissing all that because the NRA has apparently not given you sound bytes for those.
You just go on calling me stupid in as many ways as you can and then you start pulling in Stalin and Trotsky? WTF? C'mon Bruce. Put your feet on the ground and focus if you want to have a discussion.
I addressed your false perception about the uselessness of the 2nd Amendment.
Perhaps you need to revisit it? It was by the authority on world history, by that guy, Carroll Quigley, that is telling you the truth behind the corporate media conditioning you to the reason why you really want to get rid of it?
Did you watch that video?
Breaking News - 12 Dead in Mass Shooting at So.Cal Bar
Minute 8:00, remember? You never addressed it. Why not? That is the authority on world history, he told us, remember, crucial to a nation's liberty?
Who are you to dispute that? Some professor at Harvard now?
I tried watching it, Mr. Beale, but I listened to quite a bit of it and did not see that it was addressing the second amendment. I don't agree with how you view the world's affairs. Sorry.
I cannot compensate for your lack of attention span, it is not slick corporate media, dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. It is intellectual reasoning. If you think this is bad, try reading some of the stuff our founders wrote!
The first part of the video establishes the History and Credentials of Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley's book,
Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, how it came to be, Gatto's research into the issue, and why folks know so little. Towards the end of the video, we get the statement about the right to bear arms and it's significance vis-a-vie liberty and a free people.
I appreciate your admission that this content is beyond your ability to grasp, and how it conflicts with the dominant paradigm you have been immersed in your whole life. The very first part of the video actually addresses that. It should concern you. The dominant paradigm is paid for by commercial advertisers because it was bought up by the oligarchs. That is how the very beginning of the video starts out, with the minutes being read into the congressional record by Congressmen Calloway, of the media being bought up by the Rockefellers. Our media is no different today. It is all owned by 6 giant entities.
This is pretty much why the controllers of society, (the folks that run DARPA) have given us things like twitter and FB, they count on folks having shortened attention spans and limited critical reasoning. (text messaging, 140 character count, etc.)
Limit the exchange of ideas, limit freedom.
