Your right, I don't know a damn thing about assassination but I do know about guns and know the greatest threat to gun ownership isn't Obama but the idiots who are flippant in their ownership. Guns demand respect therefore their ownership isn't something that we should take lightly. Put guns with unlimited power in the hands of an idiot and it is not Obama but society that you need to worry about. If you want to protect your right to bear arms worry less about me, and those like me, and more about the numskull who started this thread...
The Gunny has more than adequately responded to this, but I wanted to make a distinct point with regard to this erroneous rationalization.
This member is projecting that gun owners do not recognize their responsibilities... THIS IS THE CORE OF THIS SPURIOUS ARGUMENT. It is a LIE, it is purposefully advanced to deceive... it is subterfuge and a function of evil...
I own and train in the use of numerous firearms... I carry a firearm to ensure that where an unjustified threat on my life or that of another in my presence is executed, that the means to exercise my rights and that of my neighbor are not successfully usurped. The burden of the inherent responsibility hangs on me like a wet suit every second that I am carrying my firearm. But that burden is indiscernible in comparison to the burden of failure to defend my or my neighbor’s life and property.
Any of you that have suffered a burglary, or worse, an assault well know that feeling. It tears at one's soul.
This notion that those who own and carry firearms are not something well BEYOND being 'aware of their responsibilities' is ludicrous; as is 'Part TWO' of this fallacy... "THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY TRAINED."
I was trained in the use of firearms by the US Marine Corps; I trained as a Reconnaissance Marine; I've further trained with US Army Special Forces and US Navy Seals in the use of fire arms... Now I am sure as HELL not alone, as there are tens of MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO HAD THE SAME or similar training. We were taught and we practiced the principles which justified the use of deadly force... and we did not get purged of that knowledge or those skills when we left the service; and what’s more the notion that someone is running around without the proper training or without a understanding of their responsibility IN NO WAY correlates to my means to exercise my rights needing to be usurped… to the CONTRARY… it underscores the very justification on which my ownership and use of a firearm in self defense RESTS; it demonstrates the validity of THE RIGHT ITSELF.
Which leads me to point out that in fact THERE ARE those in the culture who are not well trained and who are not aware of the principles on which their human rights rest… There are surely those in the culture that believe that 'everything is relative’ and that there are no moral absolutes and those who erroneously believe that they are entitled to the product of another man's labor, because after all, they have a need. OF COURSE THERE ARE... and they are the people who are presently bouncing off the rhetorical walls preaching mindless platitudes that begin and end with "CHANGE."
So what are we really facing here? Who are these people that don't recognize that human rights come with the heavy burden of personal responsibility? Who are those that possess fire arms with no respect for the duty inherent in that ownership? Who are these people running around demanding that they are ENTITLED TO: "SHARE THE WEALTH?" And more importantly… HOW DID THESE PEOPLE COME TO BE SO PATHETICALLY ILL-INFORMED? What vessel sailed throughout the culture teaching these insipid lies?
Peter... perhaps you'd like to answer this one, as the specious assertion is yours...
Here's a clue Peter, it's the same vessel that wants to lead us to believe that THE GOVERNMENT CAN PROTECT EACH INDIVIDUAL... it's the same vessel that is preaching the lie that it is an economic imperative to "SHARE THE WEALTH..." It's the same vessel Peter that is teaching people that THEIR NEED PRODUCES A RIGHT TO THE PRODUCT OF ANOTHER MAN'S LABOR...
Come on now, I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS ONE!
