1. So is this how they disarm the public....by disarming the most

weapon trained of the populace?

So they apply it to soldiars first and then maybe people who are against the current administration.....an unarmed nation is a passive nation.

I believe in responsible gun ownership...but I don't believe in an unarmed America.....if Blackwater turns on the American citizen how is the American citizen supposed to defend themselves?

2. I hope this is bullshit, also. (nt)

3. They all ready took away your rights, like habeas corpus, etc.,

why not your guns? You know it could be coming. All the time they were looking for the gun vote, this was the next step, once they got it. Why would authoritarian, strong men types want to support anyone who could be a threat to them? Talk about logical disconnect. However this article really looks like BS to me. What's not BS is that they may really be trying to take away your guns.

4. Great, I guess I can't buy a gun...

I have PTSD due to childhood abuse.

So, the abusers win another round I guess?

Maybe next they'll take away our driver's licenses. Can't have some crazy maniac with PTSD driving
around town and making our country unsafe.

They hate us for our diagnoses.

6. Hold American citizens without trial for three years, strip habeas corpus,

permit torture, invade and occupy a country that hasn't done anything to the U.S. and threaten to invade another, steal an election and perhaps another one--all these things are met with complete indifference.

But let a conservative rag spout NRA scare tactics about confiscating guns, and the gun nuts go crazy, since the ONLY Constitutional right they really care about is gun ownership.

9. I am a gun owning

very liberal female and I am pissed that they would even bring something like this up before probably the most important election of my lifetime. What are they thinking?

[ProudDad]

7. That's an amazing oxymoron...

"intellectual conservative"...

No way, Jose!!!! No such thing!

I suspect that the current laws on the books could disallow people diagnosed with PTSD from owning firearms...

And a DAMN GOOD THING TOO!!!

8. America has allowed a crazy guy occupy the Gov't Oval Office...This goes against REASON, the result

is the BS you going through....

10. For the record: the American Nazi Party is vehemently pro-gun. So are the guys at StormFront.

[Vickers]

11. So were the Founding Fathers.

:thumbsup:

12. The Neo-Nazis are also quite pro-environment.

They say that "a healthy Aryan race cannot live in a polluted environment." So I guess it's time to abandon environmentalism, tainted with bigotry as it is. Or we could try judging ideas on their own merits rather than condemning a cause because a few people associated with it are racist morons.

[benEzra]

13. And William J. Bennett is vehemently anti-gun. Sarah Brady is a Reagan repub,

and the Brady Campaign is run by a repub. A lot of the authoritarian religious right are pro-gun-bans. So?

14. No. Not unless you decide to do something stupid with them.

There's no way they can just come and take them from you, BikeWriter.
